All-Star Cheerleading Superstitions?

[Aussiekat]

I feel like I'll go good as Long as I have:
A snickers

Me too! I can't eat anything but a snickers for about five hours before I compete. I also have to rub my hands on the mat to "claim" it and then wipe them on the bottom of my shoes cos my palms get nervous sweat (eeeeuw gross!).

 

[SmileyRyleigh]

I have to do my handshake with my bestfriend, Kayla before we compete.
and i have to eat skittles sometime that day unless we dont win! but not the green or purple ones

I can only warm up my tumbling once, or at least until I hit it once. Otherwise I work myself up too much.

i cant really think about one, but i cant do any thing in the warmup room more like tumbling and jump wise cause my first is always the best.

so before i came to my program i wasnt superstitious at all. But my coach was VERY superstitious... we couldnt split poles, something had to go wrong in warmups(like someone had to not stick their stunt or someone had to mess up her tumbling), and he had to hug each and everyone of us right before we went on but i have some superstitions now thanks to my coaches and teammates: i have day 1 and day 2 underwear, when i get out on the floor and im set i have to jump up and down twice and shimmy for a few seconds, and right before the music starts i say to myself "i can do this" and then i look up into the lights with a huge smile and if i dont do any of this im completely convinced not only will my stuff not be perfect but something else will go terribly wrong:/

I am soooo superstitious. No one else in my program really is.. have to..:
1. Listen to my playlist in the same order while getting ready.
2. Put my uniform on the same way.
3. I have to wear the same socks to every competition without washing unless we lose.<--gross I know :x
4. I have to take a picture with my best friend Morgan after we are ready since we go to alll the competitions together... and we have to be in the same position we are always in!
5. I have to listen to my "cheer comp" playlist on the way to the venue.
6. I CAN'T SPLIT THE POLES!
7. I have to stretch in the same order.
8. I have to hug my mom before warm ups.
9. I lead my team out with Morgan and Peyton! & do our handshake
10. After the routine I have to find Morgan!

Thats about it and if I forget something, I am paranoid the rest of the day! :x

1. I wear the same hair ties all season
2. I wear the same spandex and sports bra
3. I have my lucky socks in my backpack
4. I do the same handshakes in the same order (one time I was crossing over for a competition that y normal team didn't go to and I stood in the corner doing all my handshakes by myself, every single one.)
5. I never warm-up my running tumbling, only my standing tuck and sometimes a hand hand layout
6. I wear the same sweat pants and t-shirt to the comp
7. My team lines up in two lines every time we do our routine, even at practice, and we are always in the same spot
8. We sign our team song before warm-ups and before we go on
9. I keep all my good luck charms in my bag

I think that's about it, I might have forgotten a few that I don't really remember doing. I have to do everything and I can't change any of it other wise I get nervous. The first time I competed with my orthotics, however, was at nationals this year, which is weird because I ask myself everyday why I was so dumb and risked changing my normal routine.
