I presume much of this advice would apply to field goal/ penalty kickers in American Football/ rugby (with the exception of being outside and so wind/field conditions make an additional variable)? Also, for football penalty shots.

In terms of finding different constraints and a specific pre-shot ritual? I'd say so. I wonder the effects of practicing PKs on bigger goals (confidence) or smaller goals (so game looks easier). NFL kickers probably should practice with mannequins or something to force game-realistic trajectories, especially for longer and longer field goals.
