Why I stopped handball

I always loved sports.
Particularly handball, because I've been playing handball for 11 years. Sadly, months ago I decided to stop. It was tough, because it always has been the sport I loved, but I think I made the good choice.
I had different reasons for stopping playing handball.
The first one and the most important: I didn't love as much as when I started. I think it was because it became more and more complicated for me to be good. As a goalkeeper, height is a very important factor. And I'm "only" 1m76, and for a goalkeeper, I'm not that big of a guy. When I got older, players started to shoot with more and more strength/powerfull (?) and with my height, it was very difficult. When I was young, shoots arrived slowly so it was a piece of cake so I felt weird when they sped up.
The second reason is that I'm pretty busy this year.
I decided to replay the guitar after stopping for 3 years, a great thing, and I also go to the gym. Moreover, I'm currently 16, so at school it become more and more difficult, so I have to work harder to make it for that.
I also had driving lessons and complementary maths class and I work my fingers to the bone to improve my English everyday for 2 hours.
And finally, I also go out with friends, so it made it very difficult to have the time for handball.
I tried to mix every things, but it was too difficult to keep up with everything, so I stopped handball.

I hope you enjoyed reading my text. Please tell me what you though of my English, and feel free to give me some advice or subjects I could talk about!
