Marcus Smith adopts military breathing technique to improve his goal kicking
Briefly

"Going into that week [in Dunedin], I was probably overthinking it. I felt I was a bit rushed, a bit tight on the ball. I have done a fair bit of breath work at the back of my run-up, especially if I am in a longer passage of play, trying to regulate my emotions and breathing so I can stay calm in that moment."
"I just take a deep breath in, suck it up at the end, and then breathe out as slow as I can. I think it's an army technique, to regulate. It just allows me to calm myself down. I do it as well if there's big decisions or a long passage of play."
