This was a reason why Martin Fitzwater was a bit “disgruntled.”
“I was disgruntled about him getting a perfect score when it was not his fault at all – I shouldn’t have attacked him at all. Like I said, that’s squashed and in the past.”
Finally, Fitzwater discussed how he would use this as. learning experience and make improvements moving forward.
“That’s a lesson learned for me that even though I thought it was with close people that I could trust, it still made me look bad. It’s still something I shouldn’t have said. It still got out and it still made me look terrible.
Lesson learned here. Like I said, something that you guys can take away from it I guess, I’m growing as a person, I’m growing as a man,” Fitzwater said.
