Answer 1

Here comes the boom! Nelly - check out the video on youtube! big hits

Answer 2

hey, the song headstrong by trapt is great

Answer 3

Just let everyone do their own thing, man.  I find that people trying to psyche me up just annoys me and ruins my pre-game prep.  Some people like metal, some like rap, some just like to talk. I personally like silence so i go out to the field and walk around while the others are getting ready.

Everyone's different dude and you'll do more harm than good if you try and make them all prepare themselves your way.

Answer 4

Baz,

I used to listen to Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the The Destroyers. It worked for me.

Good luck

Answer 7

cds will do nothing to influence the game

taking what the coach said at practise will. doing your drills and exercises diligently will. improving on your past performance will.

whenever we have music playing there is always someone saying "turn that c**p off." peoples tastes vary. what bothers people varies.

im pretty mellow and listen to all kinds of music, but any of the suggestions listed so far would only serve to distract and irritate me, just when i should be focusing on the things i should be doing in the game and visualising the impact they will have in the game.

time before the game should be spent in reflection, with the coach (ONLY) talking about the game, his expectations, going over what drills were done the last week and why, going over the game plan "we're gonna keep it in the forwards to suck in extra defenders then swing it wide etc" and also listing the litany of last weeks mistakes that we dont want to repeat.

you should not need music to get you pumped  up. that may work for american football, but rugby is a cerebral game; you dont memorise plays and execute like a robot. you read and adapt.

Answer 8

Tina Turner- Simply The Best

Queen- I Want It All

Survivor- Eye Of The Tiger
