Every game day, Dan Miller decides to clear his mind with some yoga.
It's not something you would expect from a 360 pound beast of a defensive line, but it happens. Growing up, his dad was always trying to get him to run faster, hit harder, throw farther and just be the absolute best athlete. His mother on the other hand his mother was more in to running and yoga. After his brother had a soft tissue injury, his mom told Dan that if he does yoga, he can avoid any such injury.
Ever since then, he regularly integrates and does yoga to keep his body able to bend and not break.
On game days, he mainly does small minor yoga stretches. Anything more would take strength and he wants to be one hundred percent for the games.
On top of that his mother gave him a ying and yang coin. Ever since his brothers injury, she said he would have to be the athlete for the both of them. Before every game, he flips the coin and then grabs it out of the air before it lands. Then he stuffs it in his locker without checking which side it landed on. He does this to remind himself that fate doesn't matter and to make his own chances.
