UFC legend Georges St-Pierre admits he felt awful every morning before a fight

St-Pierre is honest

“Every morning that I fought, when I woke up, I felt like shit. I was like, damn, oh man. I slept like shit. But you know what I do? I lie to myself. I lie to my training partners, I lie to my coaches, and when they ask me how I slept – I slept great! I feel good, I’m ready to kick some ass. Because I’m a big believer that the way you carry yourself has a huge effect on your mental state.

“I used that my whole career, even though I was terrified, I was extremely uncomfortable. I act like I’m invincible and I’m 100% sure I’m going to go out there and succeed. It was all a lie because deep down I was terrified.”
