Dearie me

This technique, which involves a raised left foot and a powerful follow-through, has been analyzed by experts for its biomechanics and psychological impact.

Her confidence and composure during these high-stakes moments, including her trademark smile and calm demeanor, are also notable aspects of her penalty-taking.
Significance:
Game-Changer:
The "Kelly Hop" has been instrumental in England's success, including winning the Euro 2022 final against Germany and the Euro 2025 final against Spain.
Unique and Effective:
Her technique is considered unique in the world of football, both male and female, and has proven highly effective in converting penalties under pressure.
