“There are a few things that we do on race day, usually before we go down, when we’re next up to race, I’ll hit Dan (Joye) on the arm, just try to relax him and say a few things to try to get our minds off the race and just try to keep in mind that we’re here to have fun and keep the stress down.” USA Luge
