Of course, I have noticed these rituals and superstitions among athletes, and frankly, I find them a very interesting and even inspiring part of sports culture. For me, this is not just a whim, but a way to tune in psychologically, collect my thoughts and feel confident. When an athlete puts on a “lucky” uniform or listens to familiar music, it creates a special internal state, helps to get rid of anxiety and concentrate on the goal. Such rituals show how important the psychological attitude is in sports, because victory is not only physical strength, but also self-confidence. It seems to me that respect for their traditions and small rituals makes an athlete more purposeful and focused. In the end, these are not just superstitions, but part of their preparation for success.
