How do you get pumped up before a game?

[L i LaXbOy11]

How do you?

[bloodilax977]

In this order: First I stretch (alone, not the team stretch) and relax. Then I listen to music and think about doing well. Then I own.

[MaddxLax]

i believe the best way to prepare is to first think of all the things you have done to screw up in the past and continue to correct them during your game(remember mistakes you dont want to make again), then do some stretching and warm up with a catch or something, relax a little, and u can throw music in anywhere here if you think u need something to pump you up and get you excited to get out there and lay someone out for a ground ball.....but the main thing for me is remembering to not make the same mistakes i have made before in games

I can't play lacrosse pissed off or anything like that, so I just chill out and try to stay as loose as I can. The more relaxed I am the more fun I'll have and the better I play. Lacrosse was made to be fun and thats how I like to play it. I also pray before every game for focus and to keep my mind clear and to control the things I can control.

I get relaxed before, then during the game I pick a "favorite" attackman. Being like "pissed" gives me this fire that makes me go crazy. Seriously, ask my team. When I'm going, I'm going.

I think the right pregame music can make or break your preformance on the field.
you got to get your mind in the game and there is no better way to do that than some loud headbanging music!

[tiplax]

i listen to my own music right after school. Then when we get in the locker room, the entire team starts singing the same song. Then i jump around when the team brings it in for the huddle.

[dragonlax]

i listen to my music will chilling then strech with the team warm up and own

[LoyolaMiddie878]

on the ride to the game and during stretching i listen to some crazy screamo rippin' music (like death by stereo or something). and then i warm up, line drills, and then i stretch again, and THEN i own.

I always listen to music before a game. During the actual season I had specific songs in a specific order to listen to but it's summer lacrosse now so I don't take it that seriously. I listen to calm music to try and get in the zone and just forget about whatever else is happening. Cassino is my favorite pregame, although I usually throw Slow Ride by Foghat in just because I love that song.

[UVAlaxer432]

We make fun of the other team and then pretend like were pansies and then get on the field and KILL! the other team...it makes us feel good =]

[Lax1228]

Listen to music and watch lax highlight reels and stuff to get me pumped.

[Splitter_Attack]

Just listen to some Killswitch Engage (Howard Jones only!), sit by myself, get pissed and then play like there is no tomorrow, hard, fast, and aggressive.

[homerralphs]

watch the other team and find somthing about them that gets me pissed off.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

haha, yeah i do that sometimes too.

i'll watch them warm up and i'll find someone that seems like a jerk and get his number and tell everyone who's the jerk and then we all gun for him, hahaha

[goalie33fan]

I usually just think about doing good or listen to music on the way to the game. It doesnt help.

[HeadHeartHustle]

hmmmmmmm I think about not sucking and how bad i feel if i let my team down if i suck. Other than that I listen to some deathmetal (or headbang as you all like to call it)

That is the worst way possible

[benjamming18]

i play basketball. it warms up my muscles and relaxes me

[shift...laxy]

ok this is how i get pumped up,

i have a few teamates hit me in the head to make me real mad, then i stare at the team, and when the game starts i take out all my anger on them :devil: :devil: :devil:

[GLAX16]

I ussually go to the bathroom and take a smasher 45 mins before the game. Very relaxing.

[MidiLine1]

This one had the msot obvius answer here. MUSIC!

[amlax21]

i listen to some music and get my self goin. When i lead the team stretches, i take it extremely seariosuly almost as military instruction. When i count i yell as loud and hard as i can and same wit the team. End wit jumpin jacks get harts pumpin got into a huddle say a few things. then end that wit our team name on a three count.

[franks2089]

Repeatedly beating the hell outta underclassmen.

Just music or whatever.

[Crimdad]

I jam to loud music try to relax and take my time with warm ups when my coach and team yells at me I just get uncomfortable and usually dont play as well, bottom line I warm up relaxed and not be to serious but as soon as i step on that field for the game my head is in the zone

[Mustangs21]

I listen to my MP3 player and just relax and keep to my self. I dont want to be bothered so sometimes I lay down on the bench by my locker and play some tetris on my phone. Im very relaxed before game time and then the game rolles around and its all raw emotion.

[marflax33]

Bash my head into everything, go into destruction mode. Get PUMPED!

[AttackSniper#12]

i pic a song, sing it in my head and invision myself playing and by the time im done that, im sooo pumped!!!

[the next 'one']

i listen to Kalai. he is a calm singer/songwriter and plays music alot like jack johnson. sometimes i will listen to J.J. also though. but it just really calms me down, and i can really focus on what i need to do. when i listen to the heavy metal headbanger stuff, i get wiggy.

[rizzini]

i listen to 311's cd, Grassroots before every game, and think about past games (good things and bad)
