Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

 There was a time when I had to take a break from soccer, and it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made. I had been playing for years and pushing myself to the limit, but after a season filled with injuries and mental exhaustion, I realized I was burning out. The constant pressure to perform, combined with physical pain, started to take a toll on my love for the game. I decided to step away for a while to heal and give myself space to recharge. During that break, I had time to reflect on what soccer really meant to me and reconnect with my passion for the sport without the stress. When I returned, I felt refreshed and more motivated, with a renewed appreciation for the game. That time off taught me the importance of listening to my body and mind, and it reminded me that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to move forward stronger.
