It runs deeper than that too.
It's the idea that good athletes are greedy athletes.
When they see a small opportunity, they try and get as big a bite of it as possible.
So the mantra that we always have in training, if you can see the back, you can take the back.
And if Gordon sees an inch of your back, you know that's the direction he's going to be going.
If your far shoulder is within an inch of the floor, he's going to be mounting you.
If your shoulder comes off the floor, he'd be on your back on the other side.
He's a maximalist with opportunity.
He's not satisfied with, oh, let me get a good enough outcome.
It's like, I want the maximal outcome.
So when you combine all these things together, an ability to recall information, which is just far superior to anyone else I've ever coached.
an ability to work in the training room towards not just good technique, but excellent technique.
The confidence to pull the trigger whenever the opportunity arises.
A maximalist mindset where it's never enough to have a good enough outcome.
It's always got to be the best possible outcome.
The fifth element, which I believe is very, very important, is extraordinary depth in his technical prowess, in particular with regards his defensive acumen.
Everyone looks at Gordon and focuses on his offensive prowess because they see him dominate other athletes.
But what they don't see is what I see every day in the gym, where he works from impossibly bad defensive positions.
Someone locked in on a full heel hook on his body and a full Jujigatami armbar in a complete pin mounted with Gordon's two arms stretched out over his head in what looks like a hopeless position.
And Gordon will work in these positions.
