pre game syc-up

[craig_t]

right guys
am bit bored atm and wondered what people do pre game to get themselves bouncing about and syced up for the game ahead, do they listen to a specific song like eye of the tiger and start shadow boxing, visualise how the game is going to happen go through their aims in the game or what

all ideas and methods post up please.

well as i left the sport, to go back to ice hockey ill say how i get ready for my hockey games,


in the changing room we have the stereo blaring out anything we bring (mainly drum n bass) gets us pumped, and our intro song amps me up so much

Well most teams tend to have a huddle in the start gate where everyone puts their hands in, and the team captain gives a speech about the game ahead; normally cliche stuff like "roll those guns guys", "take every window", "keep the calls coming", " If we play the way we've been playing so far today this game's already won"... stuff like that... normally ending with a group chant (we have 3 2 1 Redemption).

Anything loud and energetic generally does the trick.

You get some people who like to slap each other etc before games to get their adrenaline going. I find that jumping up and down on the spot a few times in the start gate gets the adrenaline going a bit and raises your heart rate

found this hockey video for the intro of the stanley cup finals of Oilers and Hurricanes,

who wouldnt be amped to play infront of this crowd:

by saying that knowing people are watching you and having to perform well gives adrenaline to the players, sometimes good so they make good plays or sometimes bad as they make easy mistakes

everyone get in a huddle and shout and scream at each other, get so angry that you just want to tear a baby kitten into pieces....

For some reason, a guy in our team tends to start saying stuff about our mums and what the other team does to them to get us worked up........Im not sure wether it makes me want to shoot the other guys or him
