Glenn McGrath Quotes

I don't have many superstitions, but I do have a few things I like to do out of routine and habit before a game.

I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.

I prepare the same for every opponent.

The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.

It's not superstition, but I do everything exactly the same on game days. I'm a creature of habit. I eat the same breakfast, and then I drive the same way to practice. Then I come back and eat the same exact same lunch before every game.

You have to be as fully prepared for the dull game as you are for the great game, or else you won't be prepared for the great one.

In the dressing room, I always put on my right shoe first. Same thing for my right wristband.

I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.

I have little routines in the theater. Once I've established something, like the order of putting on makeup and a costume, I have to invariably do it in the same order every time, even if I only did it by chance the first time round.

I'm always preparing for a regular life.

I can't remember the last day I didn't train.

Half the struggle is just getting yourself to the gym or getting yourself in your workout gear and ready for action.

I approach spring training the same way every year.

I would have prepared differently before big matches but I wouldn't change my life.

All sportsmen have superstitions, or at least they have routines. You look at Rafa Nadal and the way he organises his water bottles. Me, I always put my left pad and left shoe on first.

My mindset is the same every game.

I'm not going to change the way I work out in the offseason and prepare. I'm not going to change the way I approach the game. I'm not going to change the way I play every day.

My process is walking down to the locker room, laying everything out to how I like it. I'm very particular about setting up my bags and my dressing situation. I love to pull out that portable speaker and blare music even if nobody else likes it. To me, its just keeping everything the same every single night.

I prepare for every game the same.

It's tough when you don't know if you're going to play or when you're going to play. But keeping the consistency and keeping in shape is important.

It's our way to prepare for games: the music is on before the game and after, so it's not like because we won we're going to change it. It's just because it's the thing we do; it's the thing that gets us relaxed, maybe.

Just go out there and play every day. Every day is a new day. Every day is the same day. You've got to just be ready to play.

When I prepare for a match, it's like work, even the way I have to shower and put on my makeup.

I am not really superstitious - I get ready in the same order pretty much every day. I'm afraid I'm a bit boring like that.

I feel like everything's got to be neat and everything's got to be right before I put on my performance, so I brush my hair.
