Things to pump yourself up?

Hey. I'm just wondering what you do to pump yourself up before a meet? Any good songs to listen to? I have a meet tomorrow!

I usually just watch videos on youtube of gymn and then I look for quotes too! lol

Go to Google and type in this name:
Shun Fujimoto

If this guy's story doesn't pump you up then you are callous.........

I do mock meets but I still like to get pumped up for those!! This might sound silly but I like to turn on happy upbeat music and dance around in my leo!! haha, it's kinda silly but it lets me be loose and not stress about doing my routine! How did the meet go?

Thanks everyone! My meet was alright... 6th on floor, 4th on bars, 4th AA, 3rd Beam. Its not that my places were bad its that I can't honestly say I did my best. I fell on beam and I never fall. I'm really mad because I might I have been able to save it too. And then I miscalculated how close the high bar was since the gym had bars that don't go as far as ours, so I jumped hard but then I'm like whoa heres the bar I'm almost hitting my face on it. But then I did an uprise from that and such. Next meet im probably putting my giants in so I'll tell you how that goes.
