Part 2/8:
Winker's pre-game routine is as unconventional as it is refreshing. Often found wandering the field barefoot, he explains that this practice is not an innovation but rather a learned behavior from years of observing others. His barefoot trek began in Cincinnati and was briefly abandoned before he rekindled the habit. Winker recalls a specific moment at Dodger Stadium, where he took a breathwork meditation session before Game One of the National League Championship Series, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection amidst the competitive pressure of professional sports.
