Sock it to superstition

Coach Vin advises: Not washing your lucky sock isn’t bad unless you consider fungal kingdoms and romantic breakups “bad.” That crusty tube of nostalgia might smell like regret, but if your team hasn’t lost since you were born in ‘09, who are we to argue? Just store it in a well-ventilated shrine and maybe “or definitely” avoid bringing it to any first dates. Or second ones. Or even third ones. Or maybe anywhere near humans.

Yes to the spaghetti

Coach Vin advises: Pre-meet spaghetti is a must. Precision pasta fueling is the future of peak performance. Bring the exact amount of pasta needed and a solemn sense of ceremony. If anyone questions it, just whisper “carb-loading mysticism” and continue counting your sacred noodles. Champions are built on a solid consistent routine that is… and starch.

Remote control mojo

Coach Vin advises: Remote placement is everything. Misplaced remotes cause interceptions, missed shots on goals and existential dread. For optimal results, measure your table-to-couch angle to three significant figures, calibrate the vibe and protect the sacred clicker at all costs. Sports gods reward precision. And snacking. They love snacking.
