Every athlete’s mental process of preparing for games is different. For Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy, he’s developed a carefully cultivated pregame ritual that involves breathing exercises and… meditating to the frequency of God.
McCarthy recently revealed to The Athletic that he uses meditation as a way to clear his head before games. Part of his ritual involves putting on a pair of headphones and listening to sounds tuned to 963 hertz, also known as the “frequency of God.”
McCarthy, who has reportedly been meditating since high school, described the relaxing sounds as similar to “white noise” and that “it does some things I can’t even really describe.”
