Georges St-Pierre on John Danaher and Perfection

 

One thing that Georges St-Pierre admires most about his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach John Danaher is his focus on perfection. Something GSP and him both share:

That’s why we get along—because John and I are both obsessively compulsive. We will spend hours repeating a single technique, over and over again until I get it right. We will repeat the move. We will sit and discuss it, then start over again. We will block out all other things. We will restart until the world dissolves completely. Until nothing else matters or even exists. We will repeat it until it is mastered, no matter when that will be. One certainty, though: it will be.
