Any superstitions or pregame rituals?
When I wake up I listen to music and I don't talk to anyone. I take a nap and then take a shower and eat. When we get to the field I listen to music until 30 minutes before the game and then I drink an energy drink and take another shower. I get dressed, do my pregame warmup and then when I'm walking out to the field I hop over the line with my right foot first and salute the field by picking up a piece of grass. I also always have to wear a long sleeve under my jersey and roll it up.
