The right song can get an athlete’s mind right. Whether it’s the lyrics of a hip-hop song motivating a football player to leave it all on the field, a latin beat bringing the volleyball team together before a big game, or the music of a close friend inspiring a basketball player to bring home the victory, FIU’s student-athletes rely on their playlists to get them in the zone.

FIU Magazine asked student-athletes from a variety of sports what song gets them pumped up before a game. Click on the photos below to listen to why their track helps them give their best performance.
