Sean Griggs ’26 JV1 Boys Soccer: “Headlines” by Drake
“I like the song and it really gets me going. It’s a really hype song and really gets me locked in for the game. I usually listen to it on the bus ride headed to wherever we are playing.”
Henry Zimmerman ’27 BXC: “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver
“On the way home from an away meet on the bus, we play “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” and everyone will sing together. It always is the last song before we come back to Andover. It is a really special moment with the whole team on the bus singing, and it really helps us feel at ease and having some form of closure on the meet. It has been a tradition for as long as I have been on the team, and it really helps us bond as a team.”
Kieran Kolar ’28 JV2 Boys Soccer: “Over” by Drake and “On One Tonight” by Gunna
“We like to play some old Drake songs like “Over.” When we come back from away game[s], we play “On One Tonight” by Gunna when we win one, which has been all of our away games so far. We also listen to some calmer and focused music before the game, so we are ready to play hard and lock in. On the way back, we like to play more upbeat and lively music because it is a way to have fun and think about how we played, but mostly just have fun and wind down after our games.”
Phia Cutler ’26 JV Field Hockey: “Eenie Meenie” by Sean Kingston
“It’s something that we can all sing along to. Me and some other people on the team will listen to it before games and on the bus during away games. It’s just really hype and gets us excited”
Abby Miller ’27 JV Volleyball: “No Hands” by Waka Flocka Flame
“It brings really good energy before we play and it just makes it really exciting. Whenever the beat slows down from being very fast, I think it is fire and I think a lot of times in games we go on a slower pace we need to and then we pick it up so the song relates to the game in that way.”
Sean Choi ’27 JV Water Polo: Thick of It by KSI
“It gets us hyped for the game. The rhythm that correlates with the lyrical genius of KSI helps us lock in to the game. The hype of the new song gives a sense of community that everybody feels comfortable in which boosts our chances in taking the win and brings out our love for the game.”
