Marcus Smith has turned to a military breathing technique to help manage his emotions and enhance his goal-kicking performance after facing challenges during his time with the England rugby team. Following a disappointing series of missed kicks in New Zealand, where England narrowly lost 16-15 in the first Test in Dunedin, Smith has been proactive in seeking solutions. In that match, he missed three pivotal kicks, a setback that he has openly acknowledged was difficult to come to terms with. To improve his focus and composure, Smith has sought guidance from rugby legends Jonny Wilkinson and Leigh Halfpenny, aiming to refine his skills and regain confidence in his kicking abilities.
