Experienced UFC champion Georges St-Pierre eager to impart his life wisdom
Georges St-Pierre, the retired mixed martial arts legend, is set to pen a children's book about his experiences with bullying. The book, co-authored by Justin Kingsley, will delve into St-Pierre's personal struggles and the transformative power of martial arts in building self-confidence.
St-Pierre, a force in the UFC, helped to build a worldwide audience for the mixed martial arts promotion. His journey, filled with highs and lows, is a testament to resilience and determination.
The book will also touch upon St-Pierre's early life, where he lacked confidence and was often bullied. His parents enrolled him in martial arts as a self-defense tool, which soon turned into a passion. Martial arts helped him build his self-confidence and become the champion he is today.
St-Pierre's career in the UFC was marked by several notable moments. He regained his title from Matt Serra at UFC 83 in Montreal, a dominant victory after his first title defense ended in a loss to Serra, one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.
However, St-Pierre's journey was not without its challenges. He found the stress of fighting for a living at the highest level unbearable. He sought the help of a sports psychologist and learned to manage his fear and build up his confidence through preparation.
St-Pierre retired from the UFC in February 2019, quitting at the top with a 26-2-0 record. He rode a 13-fight win streak, after winning the middleweight title at UFC 217 in November 2017.
In addition to his literary pursuits, St-Pierre remains active in the world of martial arts. He continues to help other fighters train and maintains a curious and positive mindset towards learning new things. His training regime included gymnastics, power-lifting, and pull-ups with a 75-pound weight chained to his waist.
St-Pierre will be sharing his journey at an event called 'An Evening with Georges St-Pierre: The Instinct of a Champion' on September 29 at Toronto's Meridian Hall. Justin Kingsley, who previously worked with St-Pierre on his autobiography 'GSP: The Way of the Fight,' will be the moderator for the event.
Unfortunately, there is no publicly available information about the expected publication date of St-Pierre's children's book. Regardless, this upcoming book promises to be an inspiring read for both children and adults alike, offering insights into St-Pierre's life, his struggles, and his journey to self-confidence.
