The one thing that I do is I have to wear my same undershirt beneath my jersey. I played a really good game at the Laguna Hills tournament at the beginning of the year, and every time I wear it, I feel I can make a good play or play a good game. When I play, I bring a towel to wipe sweat off my racket grip. If I lose a match with that towel, I'll throw the towel away. I always wear the same bracelet and necklace whenever I play.
Some people like to eat a certain meal, like pasta.
They really prep themselves. On game days, I wear my game stirrups under my jeans at school. Me and catcher Zach Nilsson take our hats off before the game and hang them on the farthest right hook in the dugout. We did it one time by coincidence, and we had a good game.
