Jordan Larmour: 'I'm still trying to find the right balance'
Energia has released the second video in a three-part series on Leinster Rugby’s Jordan Larmour.
After a strong performance over Toulouse last weekend, Jordan Larmour continues to develop into a key member of the Leinster backline.
Since he burst onto the professional rugby scene and with his career clearly on an upwards trajectory, it’s hard to imagine the 21-year-old with anything other than a bright future, but that wasn’t always the case.
In ‘The Power Behind Jordan Larmour’, Larmour opens up about the adversities he had to overcome as a teenager and the pressures of a career in high performing professional sport.
“I was in fifth year, I did my ACL so I was out for about a year...When I was coming into Leinster I had an ankle injury. It just wasn't getting better so I had the surgery...It's hard when you're out for a long time,” he said.
He said it's hard to find the right balance of pressure.
Standards and pressure is what you need in a winning environment. The pressure can be a good thing.
“But if you put too much pressure on yourself, you might go into your shell, you might get too nervous. I'm still trying to find the right balance.”
