Before a tournament or debate round is there something that you do that gets you pumped up and in the zone???

I listen to "Another one bites the dust" by Queen, among other songs like
"this is why I'm hot" by Mims, and "Snap yo fingers" by Lil Jon.
Then I am ready to debate!

I watch Sweet Home Alabama in between rounds. Wink

Seriously, I listen to Enter Sandman by Metallica. It really gets my blood pumping.

"California" by Hawk Nelson, only we've changed the words...

That song will make me excited about a tournament like no other song.

That and I spam the tournament thread here, that is always fun.

As far as SS goes, I'm the only normal one around.

I like the original song. I don't think I would like this new "remixed" version. Wink

You wouldn't get it. We just put new words to it, words that are more debate themed, for us anyways.

Whenever i face a team I have lost to I like to listen to the Boys are back in Town. Only problem is my debate partner is a girl. Razz

Also I like to go through all the awards I have ever won at tournys. That
takes away all fear. Smile

Then I like to listen to the theme music from Kill Bill

And then I like to do weird snapping of the fingers and dance. yeah I am weird .

I don't listen to music around debate tournaments. I really don't know why though. Between rounds I drink a lot of water and right before a round I try to get my adrenaline up and get in the "zone," so to speak. Sometimes I'll speed-read my 1AC right before the round to get my mouth warmed up.

Those of you who were at Region 4 regionals saw my luverly psych up routine. I pace {alot} and listen to music. I have different music for different occasions, see:

First thing in the morning - Jars of Clay, generally I listen to "Collide" over and over

Before debate - errr, nothing. I'm too busy acting like a nut and looking for postings

Before OO - Derek Webb

Before Imp - ...the sound of my own, beautiful voice

At night, while I'm sleeping - Andrea Bocelli.

I read a Harvard Economic Professor named N. Gregory Mankiw's blog to remind me that real people agree with me sometimes. Then I make a post on my blog to get me thinking.

Then I read the Daily Kos so I can laugh.

Then I read some David McCullough or Peggy Noonan to be reflective on history.

Then I watch 24 to chill.
