The programme helped me take my skills to another level. I am not only talking about handball, which was without doubt the main thing; connecting with people who speak other languages and finding my way in that environment gave me great cognitive and tactical benefits. That year I achieved all my sporting goals, including qualifying for the World Championship with the Chilean national team.
