Putting the right foot forward makes
all the difference for football team
Leanda Gahegan
Reporter
Kickoffs. Coin tosses. Nailing
that right play. Running that
touchdown. Lucky undershirt.
These are some thoughts that may
go through the mind of a football
player before a game.
Many players have pre-game
rituals or superstitions like mak
ing sure their lucky undershirt is
on or grabbing the right pair of
lucky black socks.
Josh Rowan, senior left tackle,
has a common pre-game supersti
tion, “I wear the same white un
dershirt that I wore throughout all
my high school games.”
Rowan is careful to always put
his right knee brace on before his
left and his right shoe on before
his left shoe. Rowan is not alone
is his practice of a pre-game su
perstition.
Pre-game superstitions and
rituals are as commonplace in
sports as competition. Many fa
mous athletes have pre-game ritu
als that they always perform be
fore games.
Michael Jordan would always
wear his college basketball team
shorts under his professional uni
form. Tennis champion Steffi
Graf rubbed her finger from her
ear to her chin compulsively be
fore games.
Elon’s own football players
also share some interesting pre
game rituals and superstitions.
C.J. Habersham, #63, senior
nose guard from Mt. Pleasant,
S.C.: “I wear the same undershirt
for every game. I also try to sit in
the same seat on the bus and in
the locker room.”
Scott McLain, #74, senior
right guard from Springfield, Va.:
“Every time I call the coin toss,
we always lose. So I’m not call
ing the coin toss anymore.”
Jamall Scott, #53, junior
middle line backer from Winston-
Salem, N.C.: “I say a prayer be
fore every game and wear the
same pair of black Nike socks
under my game socks.
Lawrence Chetty, #46, fresh
man from Roanoke Rapids: “I lis
ten to music, mostly rap, to get
pumped up and hype before
games. I usually listen to DMX.”
David Ware, #70, sophomore
left guard from Chesapeake, Va.:
“I will laugh or joke and listen to
soothing music like Sade or
Babyface.”
Armek Ware, #8 senior from
Cleveland, Ohio: “I’ll put 4 or 5
tape strips around my belt. Then
I’m ready to play and just focus
on what I have to do to get a vic
tory.”
