Superstitions

[UNCW Vaulter]

My freshman year in college I no highted for most of my indoor season. At VT indoor I had to PR just to clear opening hight. Needless to say, I NH'ed there as well. At the following meet (Geoge Mason indoors), right before warm-ups I noticed I was missing a spike and the rest were pretty dull, so I spent just a couple extra minutes changing out my spikes. It was sort of calming. Anyway, I won the meet and found a new pre-competition routine.

because when I'm feeling shitty about life, I don't do well in meets... when I'm happy with how things are, I do awesome.

same with me. but on shitty days, i tried to concentrate anywayz and hope for the best. i always draw a tiny smiley face stickin its tongue out on the tape of my pole as a funny way to get by a bad day.

Well...i wear a head band type thing. I ripped off my sleeves and wore one as a head band. When its my turn on the runway i do a little dance of my own to pump me up, and maybe get the crowd going a little. So yeah in meets im known as the guy with the head band.
