what are some good rituals?

Question

that i can do before a basketball game?

Answer 1

Don't focus on the game until you started stretching out for the game. This will keep you calm. Do something you enjoy outside of basketball...listen to music, read, etc...

Answer 2

I always think about the game ALL day the day of the game. That always gets me focused on the job at hand. I always write out these motivational quotes for some of my teammates to get them pumped up before the game. I ALWAYS pray by myself while we are stretching, even though we pray as a team before the game. And, I try to imagine myself doing post moves and shooting free throws throughout the day.

Answer 3

When you're stretching or doing lay-ups look at your opponents and visualize yourself shooting over them, getting that clutch shot, and dominating the game. That's what what Michael Jordan did before games. He won because of that.
