Polished transcript:

Male Female

So, during my life, I had to make a lot of decisions. But if I were to choose the most important and difficult one, I would probably say it was when I decided to stop playing golf. So 5 years ago, I was on a trip with my family and I broke my leg. Before the trip, I had received a lot of US scholarships because I played golf very well and was in the initial Italian national team. To recover, I had to wait for like 6 months and during this period, I couldn't play golf. I won't say that it was very frustrating for me because I just played golf all week, never stopping. But something strange happened to me during these 6 months. I changed my mind and decided to study instead, because I understood that I just wanted to play golf for fun with my friends and not to become a professional. This choice had a significant impact on my life because I decided to study in Italy.
