Use routine to shift pressure

Harry Kane recounts that his penalty routine takes pressure away because it gives him the same sequence in high-pressure situations. He puts the ball down the same way, takes six steps from the same corner, breathes at the ball and keeper, then runs up and shoots, thinking about the routine rather than the outcome.
