Just curious what pre game rituals that you may have had or used, that you thought improved your performance?

Prayer?In baseball when playing SS, I prayed that our 6-6 1st basemen would start over our 5-2 first baseman.

As a coach I repeatedly checked to make sure the even uniforms were for home and odd away.....after making a mistake and a Technical.
Public school in Des Moines. Ties on game day and Lord’s Prayer. Doubt you could get away with it today.For basketball, our team (JV thru Varsity) always prayed the Lord's Prayer in the locker room before every game just prior to going out. I'm curious, anybody else do this? I went to public school in small town HS in NE Iowa. This made me think of that. Was this just my HS team or did many other teams pray the Lord's Prayer? Kind of like dressing up on game day which we did as well. Did everyone dress up. They still do that in schools? Hope so but I could see kid's now in sweat pants on game day.
Is a public school team even able to do this anymore or did the state shut that down as well? If so, sad.
I always had to take a dump before games.
Played HS BB in the mid 70s.
Everybody wore socks up to their knees. To have "sock slippage" wasn't cool, so our ritual was to "rubber band" the socks up close to the top, then slightly turn down the sock so they didn't show.
Usually worked.
Lol no, no knee pads, but definitely short shorts, i.e. Larry Bird shorts.Classy. Knee pads to?
I played with short shorts, actually, right when the Fab 5 broke the long shorts out. Is that an oxymoron?
Just like greyhounds at the track, always won when I picked them.....nice job BoatI always had to take a dump before games.
