I play OL in d3 football for a small college in Iowa. Pre-game for me kinda sucks because we have to be up and at the locker room about 3 hours before the game. When i’m in there though, i’m usually just meditating, with some Slayer as backgroung music, trying to focus. Once on the field, after warm-ups and what-not, while the National Anthem is playing, at the very end of it I say a little prayer that i’ve used since I was a Freshman in H.S. I’m sure some of you know it:
And shepards we shall be
For thee my Lord, for thee
Power hath decended forth from thy Hand
That thy feet may swiftly carry out thy command
So we shall flow a river forth to thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patri
Et Fili
Spiritu Santi
(sorry, I don’t know how the Spell that last part)
And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
