Georges St-Pierre Thinking Quotations

People think athleticism is just physical, but it's not. It's connected to the brain and how the brain can learn to execute and see a movement or not. Especially at high speed. Being athletic is not just jumping and running and being powerful. It's the nervous system that guides the body. The muscles don't decide anything. The brain decides and makes things happen.

You think I was born rich? I've worked really hard. You have no idea.

It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.

I like to think I'm like water that adapts to its surroundings and eventually finds a way in.

I think it makes your stronger to admit that you're scared, because you're not scared to say that you're scared.

Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.

The truth is that I didn't start as a winner. When I was a kid, I was just another reject. I started at the bottom. I think all winners do.
