Justine Henin back in action

20 months ago Justine Henin shocked the world after spending months contemplating her life's direction and commitment to leave the sport she had grown to love since she was a little girl. The emotional roller coaster she was on was bound to come to an end. She was facing her toughest opponent in what became the strongest match she will ever play, and that person was Justine Henin. She reached her dreams becoming number 1 in the world, won Grand Slams, connected with so many fans traveling the world and made a ton of money. Why did she leave the game. Only Justine has the answer.

For 12 months Justine states that she never watched a set of tennis. Anyone who works 70-80 hours a week eating, sleeping and drinking to be the best in your field can relate to Justine. How awesome  would it  be to take a year long break from your career,not having to think about your job  focusing all your energy and attention on all the other things in life you wanted to do but never had the time. Justine was able to do just that. How great would it be to then come back to your career after an emotional and physical vacation. Justine Henin is coming back to her love for the game, her love for competition and above all a stronger love for herself. She is more relaxed today than ever before.
