Most insightful comment was when Joe was talking about actually playing competitive games all year round in different sports instead of practicing one.
Although practice can focus more on improving one skill there is no "pressure" to deal with. You don't get the confidence needed to deal with high pressure situations from practicing anything. You actually have to be in competitive games.
I have seen coaches try to put pressure on kickers in practice by setting penalties for missing and/or rewards for makes. Usually the amount of running the entire team would have to do. But it is still not the same as having a game on the line.
