To have good luck

As a child, I found a four leaf clover on the soccer field during one of my games. During that one game, I played better than I ever had before. This lead to me to keep this four leaf clover laminated too a piece of paper and kept in my soccer socks up until high school, when I stopped playing. This clover gave me the feeling that I would play better and that our team would always win. Even though that wasn't always the case, I still did it in order to give me hope I guess. This is sort of a ritualistic act that I performed during every game for a good number of years. I feel as though that clover gave me the courage to try and perform my best throughout my soccer career.
