Find a penny
In the venue
Tuck it in my shoe
Choose a t-shirt
Drenched with victory
In its sweated history
Blades heaped by the strip
Contemplating which one to adopt
Pick the one on top
Silly that I think
Beating my opponent to the center to test weight
Can influence my fate
I challenge you to share
Surely you have a ritual…or three
These superstitions aren’t unique to me!

I stand on the strip on tournament day
ReplyDeleteto Saint Michael the Archangel I pray
give me courage and confidence
and guide my blade true
Make fruitful the lessons
taught me by Coach Stu.
Deep breath as the bout begins - to relax all the important things.
ReplyDeleteJumping helps.
