If you don't want to play, you stay at home. If you're not motivated, nobody forces you to play. I think I should do what I did: I took some time, canceled my participation in three or four tournaments and at some point I regained my motivation. Once you hit the track you should be able to compete even if you are not one hundred percent. But if you don't want to play, you better take a vacation. “
