Imke van der Aar: Where to begin...

After a period of 10 years putting badminton on the first place. It’s time to close this book and open a new one...
Jij het nieuws, wij een tikkie!
Badminton has given me the greatest opportunities in life, but also gave me the toughest lessons in one way or another.
But right now I have to be really honest to myself and listen to my heart. Moving to Denmark was a great experience and definitely felt like I learned a lot here.
But beside learning a lot on court, I also learned a lot about myself. One of the things is that I’m a very big family person and that homesick is tough as f*ck... I'm very looking forward to moving back to Holland today.
I will still play Orleans Masters next week and Dutch International in a few weeks. Which I will go on court with a big smile and maybe a tear in the end, but that's all okay.
It's been a tough decision to make, but I truly believe that you have to follow your intuition and that you are happy with the life you are living (we can't turn back time after all).
I really want to thank you all for the great support all those years.
Talk to you guys soon again.
Big kisses from me
