Joe Flacco Quotes

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.

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

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

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 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.

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 like to wear the same kind of boots that I've worn in training going up to the game so that I've got a feel for the boots.

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 had always had the same pre-match routine that I went through every day - get up, go down for a swim and a stretch, back to the room for a shower, then down for brekkie - the same routine every game, and it got me ready.

You practice how you play. I still believe that.

I get up in the morning and I go to practice like everyone else.

I'm used to practicing. I'm used to the schedule. That's kind of what I was born to do. That's what I've been doing my whole life.

There's a different feeling when you show up and you're defending. You can't wait to get out there. You're not anxious that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday would be over, but you're just excited to get that ball in the air on Thursday.

I always say fitness is the first step to greatness. And I try to encourage my fans to be on the same page as that. Because fitness is the first step to setting a habit that you necessarily don't want to do but are still committed to doing every single day. And so I think that's why I always, always try to get a workout in.

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.

To be on time, to eat well like a professional, to sleep like a professional. To train and play like a professional. I encourage everyone to do this every day.

Consistency is always the best teacher.

Before important games, I don't change my preparation.

I wear the same socks after I wash them, and I like to eat the same meal the morning before a game.

I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email... well, all the time!

Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.

I train, eat, sleep, and repeat.

Routine is important to me and keeps me mentally and physically healthy.

The regular season, it's kind of like a rehearsal. That's the way I look at it.
