RICHMOND footballer Daniel Jackson has spoken about that much talked about issue for big name athletes - should you have sex before a big game?
Jackson thinks yes.
He told Tiffany Cherry who hosts The Hen House which is on tonight from 10pm on SEN, that having sex before a game helps him calm down.
"That always works,'' he laughed.
"Other athletes tend not to do that, but I've found that it calms you down as well.
"So any girlfriends out there, who their boyfriends or partners or husbands say 'I can't do it'...well they are wrong.
"Tell them to try because you will play better.''

Jackson also said he meditates before every game.
"The last thing I do, this is what people kind of laugh at, is when everyone else is doing the indoor warm up, I'm actually sitting in a room meditating.
"I meditate for 10 minutes before I go out there.... what I found was not only am I much more calmer and in control, I don't make any rash decisions.''
Jackson is one of the most well regarded footballers in the AFL, winning the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award last year.
