Halloween is the perfect time to dive into rituals around any team or school, but here at Drake, the Bulldogs have been setting themselves up for success since day one with the help of some strange, or quite practical, rituals.

Every sports team is different. The athletes that make up each individual team bring certain strengths to the group. Behind these star athletes are specific training schedules and rituals that lead the athlete of any sport to success, whether that is from lucky socks to a certain hairstyle that a team shares.

First off, leaving the dock with the women’s rowing team, the team starts off every race with a fist bump chain up the boat then wish each other good luck.
