how do you prep ! ~ rough

"Before the game I usually start to focus when I get to the field, I like to listen to music while I warm up, and I perform a handshake with my third baseman before we begin." –Lisa Rosas, 10, Girls Varsity Softball team

"Before a game I have to prepare my self not only physically , but mentally. I listen to music, and tell myself what I need to do in the game in order to perform well. Before a game when I'm running to my position, I swipe my right hand on the dirt to make sure I get a good grip on the ball" –Jasmine Rosas, 12, Girls Varsity Softball team

"As a team we run our warm up lap around the field as we pass home plate we all spit which is gross but we do that before every home game because "it's our house" We listen to music too. As for me personally I think of goals that I want to reach and start figuring out how I'll get there. Music and us being crazy with dance moves and such gets us pumped." –Stephanie Noriega, 12, Girls Varsity Softball team

"I honestly [do] nothing special. I don't have a ritual or anything. Just getting my mind focused on the game and relaxing myself if I'm nervous. Pray, and try to get pumped up." –Melody Chang, 11, Girls Varsity Basketball team

"The way I prep is I listen to music and I talk with my team mantes. Next we [as a team] warm up and then we huddle before the game." –Bobby McDaniels, 11, Boys Varsity Water Polo

"Right before we get on the starting line, we huddle together in a circle and chant: We do! We do! We do believe in fairies! An before the 4x400s the 400m runners chant: Glindyll's butt! Glindyll's butt!" –Alice Yang, 11, Girls Varsity Track and Field team
