FIFA.com described her as "one of the more unusual players" in the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup, and described her style of taking throw-ins as "a remarkable long throw, the prelude of which is a spectacular forward flip to help her launch the ball a long way into the area".
In November 2010, Leah was called up to the Brazil women's national football team. However, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament, leaving her out of football for months in recovery.
