High Performance
About this episode

Rob Baxter is the Director of Rugby for Exeter Chiefs, a club he played at for 14 years and captained for 10 years. Having won the European Rugby Championship in the 2019/20 season, this special episode will explore how Rob has installed resilience in himself and in his team to deal with the stress of competing as champions and to prepare for the tough seasons ahead.

 

Listen to Rob discuss what ‘A.C.E’ means to him and why it’s pinned up all round the Exeter training ground and find out how he built a culture to get a group of very different people to all go in the same direction. A recent poll of player agents in rugby placed Exeter Chiefs as the number one club that players wanted to play for – find out why!

 

We are delighted to work with Gallagher, Your Trusted Insurance Broker, to bring you this three part ‘Gallagher Leadership Series’ featuring leading Directors of Rugby - Rob Baxter, Alex Sanderson and Steve Borthwick.


Check out Gallagher’s new three-part series #RivalsTogether, bringing you candid player-to-player conversations about what leadership in rugby means to some of the Gallagher Prem's brightest stars.
