She has revealed the news to TV 2 Sport.
Mette Tranborg missed last year's World Championship due to injury but returned to the national team squad in March. However, the 30-year-old right back says that not being part of the national team has worked well for her.
"Being an elite athlete is generally demanding, and I have thrived in that environment. But over time, I’ve realized that—given where I am in my career and my life right now—it works well for me to have a lighter workload, spend a little less time on handball, and have a bit more surplus energy as a result," says Mette Tranborg.
The right back has played 130 international matches for the senior national team.
