Some words we associate with precision is accuracy, exactness, punctiliousness, strictness. Similar to how precision is defined in relation to mathematics, we could say that when we talk about precision is jiujitsu, or training, it is about the degree to which the correctness of a movement is expressed.
noun
2. accuracy; exactness: to arrive at an estimate with precision.
3. mechanical or scientific exactness: a lens ground with precision.
4. punctiliousness; strictness: precision in one's business dealings.
If we were to look closer at what is meant by precision we should take a look at the word accuracy. While precision relates to a general application to different fields, accuracy is a word that describes the condition of being exact. Which is a better word to be used and emphasized during coaching is hard to say. However, it might be practical to use both words PRECISE and ACCURATE when talking to the students.

One of the most essential moments for precision and accuracy is during drilling. Drilling is done when a new technique is learned or as a means to increase the amount of exposure and repetition with a specific movement or technique. During drilling students need to have an elevated sense of mindfulness towards ACCURACY and PRECISION. Having an awareness and appreciation for these two words will help them effectively learn the technique desired and be able to implement the technique in the heat of the battle. Although accuracy and precision are not the only ingredients of a successful training session. They count for the body of a successful workout.

In addition to helping a student learn proper body placements and making us a more effective competitor, accuracy and precision will help us evaluate our progress. Being able to look at your jiu jitsu, wrestling or training in general objectively is a difficult thing to do. We are often blinded by our ego and desire to win, how we are feeling at the end of a practice or what someone said to us while training. The best way to evaluate a workout is by understanding how accurate we were with our implementation of technique. By judging our accuracy and precision we are able to see the mistakes and take the necessary steps to correct them for the future. The key to successfully finding your mistake is to not to only look at the end product but the process of how you came to that point.
Interestingly enough, precision and accuracy are not the only elements of jiujitsu or wrestling. There are so many other variables and factors involved in process the outcome of a match, roll, or fight. However, there is no secret that focusing on accuracy and precision will significantly increase the learners ability to implement the technique. There is also the added benefit that a learner will be able to better understand and explain the technique or concept at the end of a training session by placing their attention on these two elements. BE PRECISE! BE ACCURATE!
