I have to sit and think about what I have achieved. In the future I want to be the best manager I can be. “I always want to be remembered as one of the greatest and I will,” Jedrzejczyk concluded. Of course she was landing these elbows and punches, but I was focused on bringing the fight up.” “I want people to look at the athletes that are winning or losing as hard workers.
