General Interest

VOLUNTEER
Lehman is a volunteer at the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry (Schaatsseizoen 48, 2020)

MONO
After the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, he was diagnosed with mononucleosis, which seriously affected him. He stopped skating for a year, but returned in late 2019 and again qualified for the USA team. “After 2018, I was pretty confident I wanted to keep skating but I was sick and stayed stagnant I took a year off to see if I really wanted to do it.” (teamusa.org, 13 Mar 2020)

BALANCE
Tried to balance being a top athlete and his education, but is unsure if was beneficial: "On one side, I got to go to college, live in Milwaukee, be close to friends and family, and still experience some international competition. On the other side, my progression really slowed down during that time. Solely from an athletic standpoint, it was not good." (teamusa.org, 23 Mar 2021)
