I would hate to see what would happen in case of a schedule change - you would be thrown off your schedule. I'm of the opinion that every game is an individual event. I have to check on my mind, body and the comfort of the crew to decide on what I will do.

I don't find this list to be out of the norm. In fact I find it to be a useful tool. It is like most things, if you are not used to it, it is hard to do, but if it is your routine, there is nothing to it. We all have our routines that we do before a game, this is just one you are not used to.
