The team and I decided yesterday that I take a leave with an unknown time frame from our beautiful sport. For too long I feel a big pressure to perform and I feel that I always want to do the best for the team, for all the sponsors, the fans etc. (1/4)
But in that process I forgot my myself a bit. I forgot what I actually want within this sport and with my future. because I don’t have this answer clear for myself I’m actually also not doing the best for the people around me. (2/4)
I really need the time to get things clear in my head about what I want and how I want it. It feels really good to take this step and I feel very supported by my friends and family and the team to take this step. (3/4)
Taking the decision immediately felt like a big weight of my shoulders. I’m going to do a lot of thinking and talking to a lot of people and I’m very confident that I will find the answers the coming period. (4/4)
Good call, brave decision nonetheless. all the best for the future.
Veel wijsheid en vooral veel geluk. Succes!!
