"Well to get like in the zone or get pumped up, I listen to music on my ipod before a game. Concentrate and stuff like that. I just put on my earphones and press play" –Angel Cortes, 10 Boys Varsity Soccer team
"Jamaica, I like to drink jamaica. I also pray and I like [to eat] pasta before a meet." – Sergio Gonzalez, 12 Boys Varsity Track and Field team
"Not really, some other schools have chants and stuff[,] but our coach doesn't like to make a big show. [S]ome people have their own thing[:] I personally get a good stretch in, listen to some music and make sure I have all my gear set up, like shinguards". – Lyndon Tat, 11 Boys Varsity Soccer team manager (he used to be a player, but he had to change to manager due to to time constraints, does that qualify? O: )
"Well I usually like to just relax before I'm about to throw, stretch out my muscles and stuff and just try to relax as much as possible. As throwers we don't really have like prep thing, but we do like to be there for each other as each one of us throwes and we help out each other and obviously cheer." – Natalia Martinez, 12 Girls Varsity Track and Field team
"Before every game, we have this thing here we all write our numbers in the batters warmup circle numerically and it's just for like good luck, other than that its just the normal warmups. On home games we'll give our secret sisters gifts, so that's fun!"– Yeram Park, 10 Girls Varsity Basketball team
