When something bad happens it’s hard to look on the bright side, but in the end, there’s always a benefit. We may not see it at first but you will take away something from it.

In my experience, it was a failure in a sport that I had dedicated so much of my time to. It made me think and realize maybe I need a break from this sport and fortunately or unfortunately I did injure myself which made me take a break.

Looking in a retrospect lens I believe that having a break with something that I hade been putting so much dedication into for the past 5 years or so made me realize that my life isn’t just sport. I got the time to do school work and get enough sleep. For me, this was big because I had to take school more seriously and give equal time and effort to my school work and my sport.
