I've never taken it as criticism. Didn't look like that to. What made you think I took it that way?

To make the decision to quit playing was very hard to do; it hurts when you have to quit doing what you love the most. It took me about 2 years before I was able to work a male league. Before that my hart was bleeding when I saw the men play and I could not join them.

I can imagine that when there's always a game on, every day of the week, you can be found overthere. I would if I was in your shoes, however my marriage wouldn't have survived it. Since my son is playing rugby, in winter I can be found on his ground. The team asked me to help out with training and games. The club wants me also to learn how to be a referee; the games on training I blow the whistle and they seem to like my style.
I love my sport but the love for my family is stronger!
