Welcome to Episode 8 - Pregame Rituals & Superstitions!

Chris Palmer and Jeff Lerg discuss the significance of pregame rituals and superstitions in hockey. They explore how these rituals help players transition mentally and physically from daily life to being game-ready. 

We also welcome our first special guest, Fife Lerg! She provides a deeper level to not only help us get to know co-host, Jeff Lerg better, but offers insights into the impact of these rituals from a partner's perspective.

This episode highlights:

- Personal stories on the positive and negative impacts of pregame rituals. 

- The balance between beneficial preparation and the potential rigidity that can cause problems, inhibiting us to perform consistently.

- How these psychological routines can extend to relationships, family members, and friends. 

- Managing unpredictability in sports and in life. 

- How these habits, ranging from specific meal choices to unique warm-up routines, can help athletes transition from everyday life to peak performance on the ice.

- Why we feel the need to perform these rituals or superstitions. 

AND A LOT MORE!
