A lot of players in this league believe in lucky charms, superstition, and rituals to ensure their success in a game. Not George Wright Jr. though. Of course, that's not to say he doesn't stick to a very rigid pre-game routine that might look like a superstition to his teammates and coaches. Wright has always depended on certain consistencies in his life to keep calm, and no doubt when a game is on the line you have to do whatever you can to cool your nerves. George has a very specific structure in the hours leading up to the game. After the team arrives at the facility (home or away) he will, without fail, say hello to the head coach, then the offensive coordinator, then QB Mike Boss. Then he will go through stretches and breathing exercises before sitting down to read through some of the playbook. After that he writes a letter to a member of the Wright's Flight Foundation, his conservationist charity. The letter generally consists of whatever is on his mind and he will always mail it after the game. When he goes out onto the field before warming up, Wright likes to take a 360 view at the stadium. He's seen them all, of course, but each time he likes to note a different detail. George believes that his ability to be a leader in the locker room and a performer on the field is deeply tied to his attention to detail and consistency, so he makes sure he brings those attributes everywhere he goes.
