Do you have any superstitions associated with your games?

“I have a couple of superstitions with soccer. The first is that I have to eat the same thing exactly 3 hours before game time: a ham and cheese sandwich on a hamburger bun with pretzels, a granola bar, and an apple. Also, in order for me to play, I make myself juggle the ball 100 times without stopping.”
