Pre-game habits, rituals, etc.

I try to get in the locker room first so I can have a quiet moment to get focused. I always say a prayer asking for patience and wisdom in adjudicating the game and to protect the officials and players from injury. Then put on the under armour. Then stretch. Then finish getting dressed, make sure the fly is up.... do the pregame...recheck the fly and make sure I have a whistle plus one in my pocket with a needle. Then go have fun.

I always say a prayer that my partner actually arrives more than 15 minutes before game time.

(Sarcastic? A bit. But unfortunately, not so much.)

I'm usually saying that prayer the whole time I'm driving to a game!
