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!

Thanks so much!

Why I stopped (playing) handball

I (have) always loved sports.

Both are fine. "I always loved sports" can give the impression that you loved sports in the past but you don't anymore.

PI particularly love handball, because I've been playing handballit for 11 years.

"Particularly handball" is an incomplete clause.

It was a tough, decision because it always has been the sport I loved most, but I think I made the goodright choice.

I had differentvarious reasons for stopping playquitting handball.

"Different" implies you have contrasting reasons from something that has been mentioned previously. However, you are introducing multiple reasons for the first time so "various" works better.

The first one and theand most important reason: I didn't love it as much as when I started.

I think it was because it became more and more complicateddifficult for me to be goodimprove.

And I'm "only" 1m76, and for a goalkeeper, I'm not that big of a guywhich is considered short for a goalkeeper.

This sounds more natural.

WhenAs I got older, players started to shoot with more and more strength/powerfull (?) and with my height, it was they became very difficult to block.

When I was young, shoots arrived slowly so it was a piece of cake so I felt weir. Therefore, I felt unprepared when they sped up.

I decided to retry playing the guitar again after stopping for 3 years, a great thing, and. I also go to the gym.

"Replay" is usually used for a one time definite length action like: "I replayed the song." or "I replayed the video."

Moreover, I'm currently 16, so at school its becomeing more and more difficult, so I have to work harder to make it for thatkeep up my performance.

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 fFinally, I also go out with friends, often so it made ithas been very difficult to have the time for handball.

I tried to mixjuggle every things, but it was too difficult to keep up with everything, so I stopped, so I quit handball.

Very good job! I enjoyed reading your passage. You are doing a fantastic job at learning English. The 2 hours of studying everyday is certainly paying off.

I just corrected a few grammatical mistakes and made suggestions for your writing to sound more natural.

I hope one day you will have more time to pick up handball again!
