00:07if instead of being there, I should be trying to keep playing.

00:12So, what I did was give me the time prudential that I needed

00:18to understand if I still had options to compete at the level that I was motivated or not.

00:30to the level that I needed to continue to enjoy the way I needed to enjoy the sport.

00:38So, I did not do that because I finished with the tranquility of knowing

00:45what I had there and that my body didn't give me for more.
