Pre-Match Rituals

[penguin13]

Does anyone have anything they always do before a game (any sport)?

When I play soccer for my club - in the dressing room the last song I will put on is The Adventure by Angels & Airwaves. It justs get me pumped up. I also when lining onto the pitch make sure I walk out third (lucky number).
The last one I have is my hairband. My hair is longish so I wear a head-band but I will always put this up as we are just lining up.

Anyone else do something simirlar?

When i was swimming someone from the home team would sing star spangled banner, and on the loudspeakers they'd announce some random stuff.

tennis we do introductions. Every time, but it's not that long because teams are generally 15-20 each and there's only 3 singles [doubles teams are intoduced together]

for swimming i listen to my iPod a little while before i swim and i get focused about my swim.
then right before i swim i stretch and i try not to think about anything but my swim.
