What's you ritual before playing sport?

They used to call me the duracell bunny in high school.

I'll bet that went well with the ladies.

The phrase "Oh, oh, oh, wow" tended to follow soon after .

Interesting, shooting guns is considered a sport, you learn something new everyday.

It has been an Olympic sport for a fair while and certainly not something anyone can pick up and expect to do well. A good physical condition is required to perform well. Very different to plinking cans down at the range.

Just 3 "oh"s???
I half expected for them to keep going, and going...

As a competition sport, I do ISSF 10m Air Rifle.

Yes, so is golf.

Before I ride or ski, which are the two really active sports I participate in, I make sure I've had a small bite to eat before, and that I hydrate before, during and after copiously. That's about it.

I usually down a couple of pints to get rid of the nerves.

Stone throwin in the land of Ire could be considered a 'sport', but I doubt downing pints is a ritual attached only to sport.
If you drank "A" beer, I can almost guarantee you'll be bringin it back up if you played a full game of soccer, or football. [/quote]

I was thinking more pool and darts.

i usually loosen up my waist belt, hook on my STS tails, step in and go to tour mode, put a bandana on my head and adjust my shades, maybe a little lip balm, and start skinning up

How did that go? One time, long ago, before I had kids and lived the wild life in New York City I went roller blading after a party. NOT a good idea!!!! As for a ritual I kiss an egg.

I always take the stance at third stump by marking a spot with the bat. (I'm a terrible on-side player and it rules out LBW's )

I double check my settings on the transmitter, test the gyro, test the valves, put the robots on a last charge. Then I take a pee, wash my hands, and transport and line up my robot in the arena.

[lordshipmayhem]

I have a good brisk sit. After awhile, the desire to waste my life trying to do some damnfool stupid event where I get all sweaty and smelly while people I don't even know yell insults and suggestions at me whilst sitting on the sideline on their fat arse goes away.

I like to have a small stretch and arrange beer smokes remote control and food to be reachable without needing to move at all...
Oh you mean actually doing the stuff? OK, I usually have a piss, a few deep breaths, walk a little and recheck whatever equipment I am using retie laces and adjust clothing etc, I like to spend some time just looking around at the scenery, not so much meditation but normalising the background distractions. Sports I have competed in were shooting (all types) fencing (all 3) and karate. Fun team sports like volleyball and such is usually a few beers and a smoke first. Skiing was eat huge breakfast first otherwise the same check all equipment twice etc.

I put on my shoes. My jacket. My glove. I double check my diopter sight, place the card in the holder, let it move back, take a long breath, exhale through the nose, get my heart rate down and take aim.
