For me personally, stretching helps a lot. Especially now that I'm 28, I always start better, and my body generally just feels better if I stretch, and warm up properly.

When I was 16 I don't think it really mattered, unless I was playing early in the morning.

Just do what feels best for your body, especially as you get older.

Perfect last line. Funny how we get into these scientific debates and its just that simple.

So this is the part of the thread where we post irrelevant personal information that nobody asked for and nobody actually cares about? In that case:

-I'm wearing black socks.
-My middle initial is "G".
-My belly button is an "innie."
