During my academic hiatus, I found that fostering a personal liberal arts education was incredibly helpful. Reading literature, playing sport, and learning some elementary computer science have been incredibly (and unexpectedly) helpful in my academic areas (mathematics and economics). Therefore, I’d suspect your interest in language and sport might also be incredibly worthwhile (and conceivably) beneficial activities to pursue during your hiatus.
