We've all seen them.
The lucky socks. The pre-game playlist. The water bottles that have to be lined up just right. The teammate who refuses to mention a winning streak because they don't want to "jinx it."
But do sporting superstitions actually improve performance?
In this episode of Almost Pro Bites, we dive into the psychology behind superstition in sport. We explore why so many athletes rely on rituals, whether they really make a difference, and where the line is between a confidence-boosting routine and something that starts controlling your performance.
Along the way, we also confess a few of our own sporting superstitions (some more embarrassing than others) and take a look at one of the greatest sporting ritualists of all time: Rafael Nadal.
If you've ever had a lucky item, a pre-game routine, or refused to change something because "it's been working," this one's for you.
💬 We'd love to hear from you!
What's the strangest sporting superstition you've ever had (or witnessed)? Let us know in the comments, and follow the show so you never miss an episode of
