Pre-game habits, rituals, etc.

[Kingsman1288]

Up late packing for a trip and got to thinking...I have some rituals/habits that I go through before every HS game I do, and I'm sure some others do too. What does everyone out there have to do before a game? Do you have to get dressed one side before the other, listen to music, etc? Thought this might be a fun little topic to get going.

There are three things I have to do before a game.

-While driving to the game, I have a certain playlist on my iPod that I listen to. For some reason, music helps me start to get focused.

-After getting into the locker room, I always stretch first. I have to start stretching my torso first, then my legs.

-Right before my partner and I take the floor, I always do a little bit of shadowboxing in the corner. It helps get my heart pumping and ready to go.

Maybe I'm just crazy for doing all this. Feel free to make fun of me as you see fit
