Not quite right, but close.

A spinning object will resist having its spin axis changed, and the 
degree of resistance can be discovered by applying a torque in a 
direction other than the axis direction.

If the torque continues to be applied in such a way that its orientation 
relative to the spin axis stays the same, then this change in the spin 
axis is called precession.
