How do you prepare for a big game?

I believe that most of it is in your head. You have to tell yourself that you can play well. You've got to find a way to get your energy level up and stay positive. Listen to music that pumps up your energy or watch something funny to get yourself in a good mood. I also have to accept that I'm going to make a mistake or two. You need to take some of the pressure off yourself. The calmer you are, the more you can focus on the game. And if you're putting too much pressure on yourself, you’re not going to have a lot of fun. I also pay a lot of attention to what I eat all the time, its important to eat well in order to play well. Going to bed early the night before a game is also very important.
