Joanna Jedrzejczyk (9-0) berättar om hur hon såg ut när hon var yngre och att hon inte alls tänkte på att tävla när hon först började träna Muay Thai.
Jedrzejczyk berättar att hon brukade väga 10 kilo mer och att hon bara ville vara en vanlig snygg tjej. Hon berättar även att hon inte från början hade tänkt tävla.
I was like 10 kilos (22 pounds) more heavy than now. So I didn’t feel good, you know? I was at high school at that time, so I wanted to be a good looking girl, sa mästaren.
I was 16, I just wanted to do something in my life. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to lose some weight and I went for my first training. In the beginning I didn’t know what Muay Thai meant. You know? But I liked it so much, and after six months of training I had my first competition in Poland. I won, and after that I knew that I wanted to do it.
Now I’m healthy, I’m in shape and I’m happy because I finished physical education as well. So I could be a teacher, a personal trainer, but yeah I’m a professional athlete.
