Georges St-Pierre on Fear and Empowerment



For Georges St-Pierre, fear is the beginning of all great things in his life. He talks about fear a lot and how dealing with and overcoming fear has been a powerful tool in his life. He is one of the few fighters on the planet who are so open and ready to admit they are scared. Athletics can lend itself to massive amounts of bravado, public displays of invincibility, and non-admission of any sort of weakness. But for Georges St-Pierre it's actually the opposite point of view that he takes. GSP feels that to not admit that you are scared shows more weakness, because that person is so terrified of their own fears that the cannot even bear to admit them to themselves. And for the Canadian UFC welterweight king, it's actually fear that allows courage even enter into the equation.
