England captain Wayne Rooney is confident the squad will be better prepared for Euro 2016 than they were for previous tournaments.
Saturday's 6-0 defeat of San Marino secured England's place in France next year, when the 29-year-old is set to appear in his sixth major championship.
Unlike previous tournaments, Rooney will this time approach it not only as star man but the vastly-experienced leader of the group.
The responsibility has heightened the Manchester United forward's desire to make Euro 2016 a competition to remember and ensure that England do not flounder like at last year's World Cup in Brazil.
"The training camps have been right," Rooney said when asked what has gone wrong in the past.
"The senior lads will sit down with the manager and the staff organising the tournament to work out what we can do better.
"I know, personally, when I was suspended before the Euros I went away on holiday, which looking back I regret.
"I'll certainly get my part right this time and, as a team, we are all building to being successful."
Rooney took a trip to Las Vegas before the Euro 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine, for which he was suspended for the opening two games.
"At the time I thought it was no problem and now I know I obviously shouldn't have done it," Rooney said. "It's flights and jet-lag.
"I was there with my family, but flying so far it takes a while to get over the jet-lag. Maybe not having a long break between the season finishing is probably the best thing.
"I don't think we'll have that long off before the tournament so the lads won't have the option to go too far."
Saturday's early penalty in Serravalle saw Rooney go joint top of England's all-time scoring charts with Sir Bobby Charlton, but his main motivation revolves around bringing success to the national team.
"It was my 106th cap and, as much as I love playing for England and scoring goals, there would be nothing better than being successful with England," Rooney said as England prepare for Tuesday's game with Switzerland at Wembley.
"That's all any player wants to do. I'm sure the other lads are no different. It's the ultimate goal and if I don't I'll be disappointed.
"Hopefully the young players in the future can, but it's the ultimate goal for me and that's what I want to do - be successful with England."
