Stuart Lancaster of European champions Leinster says that teams don’t rise to the occasion under pressure – they fall or rise to the level of their training.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

“The highest levels of performance are underpinned by the deepest levels of belief.”<\/h4>\n

Stuart Lancaster would know. As Senior Coach of Leinster Rugby, he helped the Dublin-based club to win the European Rugby Champions Cup and the Pro14 league championship in 2018 and they are in the hunt to repeat that feat this year.<\/p>\n

He argues that belief is essential in those moments when the going gets tough: “Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion – we rise or fall to our levels of training.”<\/p>\n

In this final instalment in Lancaster’s module on the qualities of a great leader, he delves into the importance of using training to build a reputation to counter the character of rival teams, as well as the significance of establishing two points of difference – attributes that set your team apart in defence and attack – on which a leader can construct a team’s self-belief and confidence.<\/p>\n
