In the book I'm reading "Mexican Whiteboy" one of the characters Uno has a superstition. His superstition has to do with a sign that's by the railroad tracks where he hangs out by. He gets five rocks and if at least three out of the five hit the sign then his wish will come true. Uno takes Danny to the railroad tracks and has him make a wish and throw the rocks. Well I to have a superstition when it comes to soccer. My superstition is that when I am getting ready for a game or even practice, I always have to put on my gear on my right leg first and I also have to put on and take off my right glove before my left. For games, while we warm up I cant have my jersey on or my shin guards. If I don't get ready in this exact way for every game or practice then I feel uncomfortable and feel like I wont perform as well as I am capable of. I'm sure people have many different superstitions and if they don't follow through then they wont fell comfortable.

Yes, I can also relate. For a "warm up" when I sing I sing easy and calm songs so that later in harder songs won't be as hard. I feel like if i started off hard I won't do so well.
