One of the reasons GSP has been able to become so athletic is that he has been use his brain better than anyone else in the sport. He is the smartest fighter in the sport of mixed martial arts. Georges St-Pierre gives his take on athleticism in his autobiography The Way of the Fight:
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.
