## Summary

Harry Kane’s meticulous approach to diet, training and recovery has helped him maintain his form as he prepares to make his 126th England appearance, which would make him the men’s team’s most capped player. The article presents his focus on small, measurable improvements as part of why he is still progressing at 33.

Kane stopped eating sweets after matches last season and says he felt sharper, while his sprint and acceleration figures rose. He scored 61 goals for Bayern Munich and 12 for England last season, and has added 10 and six respectively this season. His routines also include avoiding alcohol during the season, prioritising sleep and recovery, and regular acupuncture treatment following a serious hamstring injury in 2020.
