LAWSON'S ROUTINE TEAMMATES
6/24/08

written by: Andrew Nicholson

After learning about Kara Lawson's gameday routine in Friday's podcast, SacramentoMonarchs.com caught up with two of Lawson's teammates to ask them about their routines.


Ticha Penicheiro

Ticha Penicheiro Do you have a gameday routine?
"I come to shootaround and then go home and eat. Then I take a nap and come to the game. I usually eat at 1 p.m., if the game is at 7 p.m."

Do you only eat one meal before the game?
"I'll have a snack or some fruit in between that time, but I can't play with my stomach full. I like to eat chicken and pasta with vegetables. When my mom is in town she cooks and I probably have pasta every day, but she diversifies it a bit more."


Adrian Williams-Strong

Adrian Williams-Strong Do you have a gameday routine?
"After every home shootaround I go home and make myself breakfast. I make the same thing -- three strips of bacon, three eggs, two pieces of toast and grits -- every gameday. On the road I order breakfast. After breakfast I iron my clothes for the game, take a shower, not necessarily in that order, and then I journal. It's like prayer journaling. And during all of this I'm watching court TV. So I'm watching "People's Court," "Divorce Court" or "Joe Brown." It's always court TV because I dont have to think about it. It's not something that will keep me hooked where I won't want to go take a nap, but it's still pretty interesting and kind of funny. So I'm watching that while I'm cooking and getting my clothes ready for the game. Then I take a nap. Then every home game Kim (Smith) and I leave at 4:30 p.m."

Do you only eat one meal before the game?
"Yeah, and then I get to the arena. So I do my warm up thing at the arena and stretch and then at about 5:55 p.m. I go eat again, whatever they prepare."

Have you ever had a teammate that had an outrageous gameday routine?
"No, pretty much everyone just takes a nap and lays low. Most of my teammates go and eat right after shootaround, or a couple hours after shootaround if that's their one meal. I know some people have to drink a soda. Some people have to drink (energy drinks). I can't think of anyone who's had an outrageous or crazy routine."
