Continued Bella, “I really am ready to hang up the jersey. Like, I can say it fully.”
“Here’s to closing one chapter and the next one opening.”
“Being on the European tour, I’ve had a lot of time to think,” explained Bella further. “Just how my body feels, being away from my company, how time-consuming this is.”
