what are your Pre Game Traditions or in game for that matter?

[OcLaxer22]

Before a game i say a hail mary and then we push a freshmen into the girls locker room for fun. During a game i always wear High socks, and when im not playing for like a school team i wear Hawian shorts.

[mdawg]

before game:
i go out before everyone else and shoot
i come back in and, retape my stick, get dressed, stretch, tweek my stick and go out to the feild.

during game;
not many, i wear eye black on a homegames only (because i need a mirror)

[shtbrkd00]

usally listen to sum music, just kinda chill, get my mind set for teh game put on my "game face." the night b4 i always visualize things, wich helps a lot. and the main thing is, on the field, i try to have fun. if im not having fun my game goes to hell

[MassLax25]

I always sit on the bench for a few minutes during warmups and "meditate". Thats about it

[lilaxgurl23]

^^^^^ I would soo have to agree with you. I always have to have fun or else I just get frustrated and suck. Its really fun to watch people get frustrated if you havin fun too. I also listen to music if its an away game but if its a home game I will have a lil fun with some of the girls on my team and then get some to shoot on me before the rest of the team gets there.

I don't do anything before the games. I try to be normal like I always am, because if I think too much about the game beforehand I tend to do bad during the game and try to make everything perfect.

I always have to take a dump before a game.

i think most people do.

only durning homes games, since we would be the first ones on the field, this other kid and i would just practice going down the field passing to eachother and then one of us would shoot. or one of us would drive around the back and pass to the other and shoot. just things like that....

a few times on our other crappy home field, i would try and drive around back and dive and shoot.... its fun when there isnt a goalie or defender.

Before a game i say a hail mary and then we push a freshmen into the girls locker room for fun. yeeeeeaahhh, im really sure that happens.

[BBlaX]

i uasually take a crap( i play crease attack) and i sit infornt of the goals for 2 minutes each and stare at them making sure i know what the hell is going on not for concentration but so i know im playin lacrosse....

[BBlaX]

but really for concentration lol

[livin4lax09]

I don't really do much. If it's an away game I tell everyone around me to shut up and I listen to music. If it's a home game I go up early and shoot on the cage for like 10 mins by myself. THat's about it. Eye black on games when it's sunny. I used to wear high socks, now I just do it if it's cold.

I usually eat some food. I also eat after games, especially fast food. I dont really have anything specific that I have to do.

Lol the best game ive eva played in my life was after a big big night (mums 40th) i was smashed i had a massive hangover and i plauyed the best i ever did i threw up 3 times it think but i played sik 3 votes (MVP) :laugh

[faceitoff]

Another thing I do before a game is make "cup-music" with the other captains. Except Pat... there always has to be one captain that ruins everything.

[liveforlax19]

i drink a red bull

[BTlaxripper]

I goof around with my team m8s

[big beans]

I gotta listen to Stairway to Heaven, I just do....

[FCLax]

Don't know if any of you know who Sound Tribe Sector Nine are, but I just listen to them, chill out, get dressed, and then quick stick about a 100 back and forth with my best friend, Andy, who's one of the other two starters with me on attack...

At every home game, like livingforlax, i drink a red bull...don't really know how the ol tradition started, but i've been doing it for a couple years :nahya:

[cooldevil938]

I just turn on my cd player and try to get loosend up and not really focus on what i have to do until i get on the feild. thats when my real thinking starts. When everybodys getting into their positions and junk I lean on my d-pole and kinda meditate on exactly what i have to do and how I should do it. If the d lets the other team get a goal we all gather around the goal. say what we did wrong and tell each other were not gonna do it again. When our team scores the defense pulls like a king arthur thing and we put our poles together in the air. other than that i just try to stay real calm and collected so i don't get frustrated and mess up.

[OCLAX14]

Me and a Couple other guys on the team get our guitars and jam before games....then we soot around for a while, then we get teh goalie and make sure he is set, because if he's not on were screwed. Then i'll listen to some OAR or sumtin like that to clear my head and get focused on the game, then we'll get dresssed do some passing drills, then line drills then the game...

And If we have a game on friday we skip 3rd and 4th period and go to hooters to eat lunch...always.

[blueyedlax]

me and the other seniors would listen to music. i personally listened to metal (SYX) or rock just to get me pumped up to face the other team. we used to have a tradition called kareoke car/van. lol but that only lasted with us seniors. other than that it was a relax and just focus kind of thing.
