Steve McClaren

And I want to do it at the highest level.

So high performance to me is I must prepare.

for that meeting and preparation is key so i over prepare and but that over preparation gives me a belief when i walk in that room that i can deliver that i can deliver that and real high performance is when you've got the actual courage to deliver it in front of

23 players, eight staff, 90,000 people and you're on the side and you've got to deliver a performance in that 95 minutes, which it is.

It's all theatre, it's all a show and you have to deliver that.

So preparation, belief and courage lead to high performance and high performance can be

Any level, any level.

And my three months just recently, I've been watching lower leagues, non-leagues, and there's as much pressure.

I saw Mark Hughes at Carlisle against York.

You see Mark Hughes on the sideline.

There's as much pressure he puts on himself for winning at Carlisle as he did when he was at Stoke in the Premier League.

So it doesn't matter what level or what sport.

And...

The key thing for me is that that pressure can lead to mistakes.

So that's why preparation is key.

Ultimate belief in what you are and what you do.

And that is small wins that you build up.

You get that belief.

And then it's actual courage to go out and deliver that.

And I've seen so many mistakes recently.
