Consistency Quotations | Page 3

Our preparation and consistency in practice has led to success in games. It's taken three years for the team to find that consistent level, and right now they have it.

Our running game isn't where we want it, but we haven't had the kind of consistency in personnel on the (offensive) line that we'd like to have. We have a few weeks until New York (season opener Sept. 11 at the Giants), and everything from now until then, we'll have that in mind.

Our team played really well at Miami. I keep talking about how much better we're getting and I think a lot of that is just developing confidence and the consistency we have on the defensive end of the floor. We're beginning now to not only defend like we can, but also rebound the basketball extremely well and because of those two things, we're coming up with some easy transition buckets on the other end.

Our biggest question is how do we replace the consistency at shortstop that we had the last four years with Jennifer Johnson . We also need to establish our pitching depth and the catcher position. Like last year, I feel very good about our offense, which is why our defense will be so important.

I think he should get it (the Manager of the Year Award). The reason our team was able to withstand the adversity we had earlier this season was his belief in the team. That belief, when a lot of critics were doubting him, his consistency from day to day, and his communication skills, all of that is a big reason why we are where we are.

It has been a different year from the past two or three. I think we expected that: some things to not always be in place, some adversity coming to us. Our consistency on the ice in all aspects of the game hasn't always been there.

I think our areas of deficiency right now have been consistency in both offense and defense but probably more offensively. Our ball control hasn't been consistent, and we have had real breakdowns here and there with out passing, and those are areas we're going to focus a lot on and try to get better. I think, as we increase our offensive efficiency, we will be better.

I think if we had at least some consistency in the testing instrument it might be valuable. And it would be certainly better than just comparing one school's scores to another school's scores in any particular year. It's about improvement and not strictly how are you doing at this particular point in time.

I think from what I've seen so far, the guys are doing a fantastic job. We've just been seeing this trend more and more over the last six, eight years of rookies just being able to come in and perform well, win races and put consistency together and also come in with strong race teams.

I threw everything I had at them. We just have had no consistency (on the mound).

I thought out of everybody on the team, Adam had the best performance on the weekend. Over the past two weeks since we came back from break, he's been wrestling better each consecutive week. It's about consistency and improving, and he's definitely been doing that over the last couple weeks.

I think we have a number of guys, as they continue to get more experience, that can go in. What has to happen is that we need to have more consistency at that position.

I think we still have a lot of areas we need to clean up and improve, and consistency is probably the big one. I don't think we're where we need to be or where we can be.

I think we've got a lot of room for improvement. The key to our game is we have to work hard and keep doing the little things. We're getting more consistency in the way we play. We're working smarter, but we've got to get a little sharper at execution.

I think you have to question the consistency of these one-time items.

I thought we had a really good second quarter. I think that's the way these girls are capable of playing. The consistency in each quarter hasn't been there.

I think it's also important for our offensive line to finish blocks. We're still searching for consistency. We've got to finish blocks better and that includes wide receivers that are involved in the run game. And our runners have to continue to get better in terms of their vision in seeing things.

I thought that we should have restricted them for less, we allowed the run rate to get away in the middle period when I believe we were trying too hard to make things happen and our consistency suffered because of that.

We need a consistency there, ... We've got to continue to find ways to get the ball in Mark's hands, which we'll do. It's not bad having Derrick Mason, Todd Heap, run the ball well. But to have another presence that people have to account for on the back side, with some consistency that the quarterbacks can rely on, that's the next step for us.

Yeah, I've been anxious for six months. I feel great. The consistency is there, and that's something I didn't have at all last year. I'm definitely seeing things this year that I didn't see from myself at all last year, and that's the most encouraging thing about it.

Unfortunately, we've struggled as of late with consistency. I think we look at the scoreboard, we see we've tied or taken the lead and we relax. The last three games it has cost us.

We'll get it squared away. We weren't able to get the kind of consistency we wanted moving the ball because we were using different combinations (of players).

We'll get some of these things worked out in practice this week. It's a mental thing, and that can be fixed. If we keep our focus, that consistency will come.

Those arrears have been cleared but also there are issues right now regarding the consistency of data and we are working on that.

I would like it to be permanent. Unless it's absolutely, totally necessary, I'm not going to change it based on the opponent's starting lineup. I told the other guys, 'If one of you guys proves to me you should be in there, you're in there.' I think that will help our consistency a little if that fifth guy isn't a question as to who's going to be in.

We have a lot more depth, a lot more experience. We'll be a lot more ready for the Big Ten this year. The consistency and experience we have this year is a lot better than last year.

We're working with so many combinations because of all the guys missing, so there was no level of consistency on either side of the ball. We had some great individual plays, but not much consistency. But I think you expect that in spring practice. Neither side should dominate.

The absolute consistency and performance Kim has given us for four years is very, very unique. It's special and deserving of recognition. It really indicates the impact she's had throughout.

Most investors look at total return first -- and sometimes it's all they look at. We think that consistent return really focuses in on risk. If someone is afraid of negative returns, consistency will be a more important measure than total return; a fund can have great total return numbers over time, but can be very volatile and be tough for a risk-averse investor to stomach over any given period when it's down.

You don't do the things they are doing allowing nine points a game without being a tremendous defense. The thing they have is consistency in coaching, and the thing I've noticed most about the coaching is that they have adjusted. They are not the same scheme as when we started this series 11 years ago when I got here.

We just couldn't score ... and never did really, with any consistency. The ball just wouldn't go in. Shots Eli normally makes ... the thing rolled around. It's a sad day for those kids' sake. They had fantastic careers.

We just want to make it so we have some sort of consistency,

Most of the golf instruction out there does everything but establish consistency on the course. It would be as if I continued practicing my typing once a week, but each time I tried a new style. One week I would hold my fingers over the middle row of keys and bend my fingers at a 90 degree angle, then the next week move to the top row and only bend them 75 degrees, and the next week over the bottom row, etc. At that rate I'd get worse and never finish a Golf Improvement Weekly.

We need to work at consistency under pressure at all spots, especially at doubles. That's where we broke down against Center Grove. We were under more pressure with both the doubles matches.

We know their competitiveness and consistency is an immediate challenge for us,

We need to be able to move the ball. At times we've had consistency, but we can't afford to have three plays and out or allow penalties to get us backed up. New Philadelphia is too good of a football team for us to do that. We need to be able to hold it and move it and we really have to put it in the end zone.

We couldn't get any consistency to it. It wasn't going to benefit him or us.

We couldn't get any offensive rhythm going. It's a consistency thing for us. We have a good team, but the consistency just isn't there yet.

To me, achieving tone, achieving consistency, is exactly the job of a director. It is to be the fusing, the nexus of a whole bunch of people contributing to the complex life of a movie.

I must achieve internal consistency.

Logic is a wonderful invention. It is so wonderful, people often mistake it for reason. Reason, however, requires sense. Logic requires only consistency.

I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.

We've taken citizens from this country without the right to be charged, without being told what they're taken for, we've spirited them out of this country, taken them to far away places, and reports come back with some consistency that they are being tortured, that they're not being told what they've done. And even some who have been released have come back and testified to this fact.

The prototype of the academy is ready. We will have sports icons from other games too for imparting the best of skills and techniques to youngsters. Besides fitness, the focus will be on consistency in performance to remain on top in a competitive environment.

Today was very much a struggle for me from a consistency standpoint. I did struggle, command-wise, getting ahead. I had trouble being consistent tonight. I take solace in the fact that when we needed to make some pitches, early in the game, we made 'em.

There is a tremendous consistency to our show," ()

He'll be a big part of what we do going forward.

The defensive percentage was much higher and that improved consistency is encouraging.

To me, style is consistency.

In Paris style is everything. That is traditionally understood. Every street, every structure, every shopgirl has style. The style of Parisian architecture has been proved and refined by at least three centuries of academic dictates and highly developed taste. There are few violations of this taste, and there is exemplary architectural consistency. Paris has defined the aesthetics of a sophisticated urban culture.

Because interrogations are intended to coerce confessions, interrogators feel themselves justified in using their coercive means. Consistency regarding the technique is not important; inducing anxiety and fear is the point.

There was one or two offers that did come along during my time at United, but I always came back to this point; why would you leave United? Where is the bigger challenge? And the thing about challenges is, once you have won something, you can't live on that. Not at Manchester United - you have got to win the next one. And that's the challenge. Maintaining that consistency of winning which is a mentality that I have had.

What we're trying to achieve here is consistency. We want to be in the NCAA tournament every year. Four of the last six is a good start. Next year, three in a row would be the first time Ohio State has done that. It's a lofty goal and it's not going to be easy. Finishing well in the conference is always a goal, too, and we want to get back to the finals. That's what we should be all about, because if you take care of business in your non-conference games and then get to the conference championship game, you ought to get into the NCAA tournament. Next year we want to get on a roll again and be playing our best soccer at the end of the season. That will be important.

There is a consistency of femininity and glamour which sort of pulls the two together. I think both the '50s and '60s are wonderful because they are very pared-down. It's minimal and very chiseled.
