well not long now until English cricket season, but for all sports what pumps you up? looking for some of the PC failthful to imform me to their pre match routines, or what gets them pumped before a game, run, training or even a night out on the town!

for me.

Songs

Remember The Name
Electricity - Billy Elliot

Listen to speeches -

Al Pacino - Inches
Coach Boon - titans
Braveheart!! William Wallace

these are my pre match things! they just get me zoned in!
what do you do? any advice, any mind games that work?
all very welcome!
 
Take a fairly long shower and just think things through. Being alone for 15-20 minutes, doing little more than just standing there thinking is great.
 
Elevation by U2 and Right Here Right Now by Fatboy Slim are good to exercise to because you can time your exercises with the music. To get me motivated you cant beat Club Foot by Kasabian and even Ready To Go by Republica. When I am ready to go to a game I listen to a recording of the Norwich crowd signing On The Ball City and keep it in my head until the game starts. It works.
 
Rocky 3 is always worth a watch before you go boxing.

Before cricket I just go do a couple of laps of the pitch, maybe pump some iron in the morning but don't want to feel stiff so not much.
 
I like:
The Hives- Hate to Say I Told You So
Motorhead- The Game
Rage Against The Machine- Killing In The Name Of
Puddle Of Mudd- Control

Rock's the way forward!

watch some good videos on youtube. Anything with requiem for a dream, RZA-fatal, rob Dougan-clubbed to death. any video with a good son behind it with some amazing clips in it.
 
Listen to some AR Rahman or some classic 2pac, go lift some weights, have a nice warm shower.
