These Athletes Have Really Weird Superstitions

Rafael Nadal

The King of Clay has a loooooong list of superstitions. Let’s begin, shall we?

Before a match, he always crosses lines with his right foot; he arrives with one tennis racket in his hand; he eats his energy gels in a very specific way; he always jumps during the coin toss; he takes an ice cold shower; and he always lines up his water bottles in an orderly line, making sure all the labels point in the same direction. Phew.

Rajon Rondo

Rajon Rondo’s superstition on game day sounds pretty normal, the man likes to shower before each and every game.

However it’s the fact that he showers five times on a game day that is just ludicrous. What a waste of water, Rajon.
