I first learned about kicking under pressure in 1996, my rookie year with the Patriots. I was signed as a free agent by a team that already had Matt Bahr, one of the best kickers around. To win the job, I had to show coach Bill Parcells that I could make kicks when they counted. That process started in training camp.

I learned early that it's very important to approach every single kick you attempt, even those in practice, as if it were in a game.

In golf, there are times when you hit a ball so perfectly that you never feel the ball leave your club.
