Good old lucky charms. Not always the cereal (but sometimes), just a charm that will bring you luck during a game. Some players live and die by the lucky charm. Some find it bologna and don’t even give it a second look. In the beginning for Bradley Westfield he never thought about it. He would see his fellow teammates doing a ritual like banking their head against a board for 30 minutes before the game, looking at you JJ Reigns, or some others not washing their socks after a win. He always thought of himself as a good player, never great. There seemed to be a mental block. Something he just couldn’t overcome. He has all the talent, the measurables but never top 5. So for this year he thought he would give it a shot. Give the old lucky charm a go. This year he decided to eat a bowl of lucky charms before every game. With the Otters seemingly doing so well and Westfield receiving the benefits of these stellar games it seems to be working, but how long will it last. Hopefully he has conquered this mental hurdle and will take his game to the next level.
