Consistency Quotations | Page 5

We're trying to get consistency. We've had trouble getting a consistent scorer.

We're trying to get on the same page offensively as far as our consistency is concerned. We need to be able to string some hits together.

You do take him for granted. He's very quiet, but his technique is fantastic. His sets are the same every time. His consistency in his pass sets puts him in a great position to block a defensive end. Angles are everything; pass sets are everything. He uses his hands well. You see him every day after practice taking extra sets. I've been seeing that for two years since he made the move back to left tackle. He's physical; he's tough; looks bigger and stronger. When you watch Marvel Smith play the game, you can't help but go 'Wow'. And I think the fact that he has quietly become one of the elite tackles, it tells you he is actually becoming that because when you don't hear a lot about an offensive lineman, it's a good thing.

While I was very pleased with our consistency, hitting 23 of 24 competitive routines and 6-for-6 in exhibition routines, our execution still needs work. We gave away far too many deductions for missed handstands on bars and steps on landings on all four events.

We've got a bunch of kids that like to play. One thing we're lacking is consistency. But we've got so many guys getting reps right now, you don't expect to see a lot of consistency this early in the spring. We're giving a lot of kids a chance to play and compete.

We've had more peaks and valleys in the consistency of our play this year than, I think, any other. If we can have a stretch where we put another six, seven games in a row together here, where we've played like we have over the last 10 days or so, we could be there.

There is so much potential on this team. All we really need is consistency and I see that coming. We've worked hard and now it seems like it's beginning to pay off.

We had a good weekend and played real well together, showed real consistency.

We had a hard time adjusting to the consistency of the game. We hadn't been home in a while, so it looked like we were the ones on the road having to get used to our fans and the baskets all over again.

We've had trouble giving up the big inning. It's been our undoing all year. We've struggled with consistency, and we've got to learn how to finish. But our kids don't quit. I think that's going to pay dividends by the end of the year.

Brittany pitched a good game. But we didn't do a good job of making plays behind her with consistency.

We are still looking for consistency day in and day out, ... When we play well - we play very well - but when we are down it seems we really get down.

Adam's a special player and I think now he's finally realizing how good he can be. We're seeing a lot more consistency and assertiveness out of him.

The thing I have the most problem with is consistency. We saw it already. The equipment isn't consistent from brand to brand and from goaltender to goaltender. I would like to see that changed. Some pads were wider than others.

The thing I liked was our consistency at the plate. We scored six runs in the first inning, and we had seven hits in a row. We have been waiting until the third or fourth inning to get our hits, but today we started right away.

Price stability, exchange rate stability, consistency of economic policy. That is all taking place.

Offensive basketball is like the stock market it goes up and down. He had to reach that level of consistency on defense.

Both Rick and Bryan played enough to letter last year. Both have played well at times, but lack consistency.

We wanted to finish the year off right. We know we've been so close, and for us to get a win like this feels good - especially finishing 2005 off with a win. But we've won back-to-back games once this year, so I don't think we're going to get too high. I mean, we're still trying to build some consistency as a team. Hopefully, we got the monkey off our back.

Once we get guys in scoring position, we're kind of limited. The bottom line is we haven't done that with the consistency that we need to. ... We have one, two, three, four, five legitimate .300 hitters. Now we need guys who can hit for power.

No well-informed person ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind.

Once you get over the rope burns, it wasn't bad. It's been a very questionable mood outside of our staff. We had so many good years back to back that people expect it all the time. We have lacked consistency for the last few years. I think the hardest part of my job is winning enough games to keep people happy.

I've never coached a player in 34 years who prepares like he prepares. To the detail, to the consistency, to how much he stresses the importance of getting himself into his game mode.

You're telling me you want (the team) to get up there and get aggressive, but when a goal is scored like that, they're going to be tentative. That has to stop for us to get any type of consistency here. Or we're done.

A little inconsistency. We're really young, trying to find some consistency.

All along we've been practicing very specifically with each individual player. If you focus on the specific needs of each player it adds up for the whole team. We're trying to build each player's game around their best skills. Our overall philosophy is centered on consistency first. You don't have to win every point.

That's kind of the fate of this team right now. We always jump out in the first or second inning, and then the consistency isn't there throughout the rest of the innings.

That talks about consistency as a program. We win year in and year out. We finish in the top of our league, we have a chance to win our league, and we have a realistic chance to go the the NCAA Tournament every year.

All of my comments since he has been here is he has had tremendous potential, and his performance had not matched his potential to this point. But I think, potentially, you can see what he is capable of doing. Now consistency is his next step.

This has been bad. It seems like we can't get any consistency with any group of guys we have. That makes it that much more difficult.

They're young. There hasn't been a lot of consistency with players. Hopefully when the organization can gain some momentum through some consistency with some players and the coach being there a couple of years. That's really how you start to build it back.

They've done a great job of mining their hometown talent. It's been the reason they've developed the consistency at the top that they have.

Sometimes the flow of the game takes strange turns. We are still looking for a combination that puts together a spark at both ends of the court. We are lacking consistency from player to player and game to game.

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about him was his remarkable consistency. The outside world so often said he was a mystery man, but nothing could be further from the truth. He always made his position clear.

There's no need to do six engagements in a day. You can achieve the same amount of connection and consistency at a different pace.

There's no substitute for working with someone year after year, in terms of consistency and planning. The things that may cost you the most on your taxes are things that typically aren't included on the forms, like setting up retirement accounts.

There's no question it's going to be a tough period. If there's any place where you need consistency, it's planning. You need people like (Bailey) with experience and knowledge of mistakes that have happened in the past, or you're destined to repeat those mistakes.

This trip is big, it really is. We're trying to get some consistency right now, and we have to find it on this trip. We have to do something before the new year starts and use that as momentum. It's a long season, but we have to feel that sense of urgency to get something done, and it begins with this trip.

This shows remarkable consistency in the turbulent investment and pension conditions of recent years. The sound long-term performance reflects both our well-balanced portfolio and the strength of the commissioners' investments.

This comparative indifference to clearness and consistency of thought is visible even in that chief object of our national concern, education.

This game will have a big part in the area standings. I hope we can keep some consistency.

This governor made the process more difficult. The next may make it even more difficult. There should be consistency.

This is a year for Lauren to settle in and show consistency. She has the tools to be a top college 'keeper. She is strong at shot-stopping and in her reaction time, is good handling the ball with her feet and vocal organizing things in front of her. We expect her to be a future starter and I think you will see a good year from her in 2005.

You play two different quarterbacks during the year, you're going to have problems with consistency. You hope Curtis Painter continues to grow and improve, because we think he has a chance to be awfully special.

This is really what we needed. I'm praying we can get a little more consistency for the last part of the year, get a winning streak going and see what happens.

After this morning's free practice we were hoping for a better result than this, but the result over one flying lap this afternoon did not come up to our expectations. In fact, both our drivers found that their cars did not perform as well as they had done in the morning. However, I believe we will see a closely contested race on a track where overtaking is possible, especially on the main straight. Of course, it's not possible to make any more definitive predictions because of the usual unknowns surrounding the different fuel levels, consistency of tyre performance and reliability.

I'm trying to teach my guys consistency. Consistency is the key to success in the restaurant business. If you come in here tonight and you order the filet mignon, and you come back in a month to find its all different, you're not going to be as happy. You're going to want it to be just as perfect as last time, and that's what we're striving for.

Inconsistency is a part of life, consistency is a part of .

I'm very satisfied with the team's performance at our first spring tournament. We improved throughout the day and implemented our new serve-receive system very well. The team played with composure and consistency all day while competing against a wide variety of teams that each had different styles and strengths. The team adapted very well to this challenge, and the weekend proved that not only have our physical abilities improved, but so have our mental ones. Players were multi-tasking the strategic part of the game while also easily executing physical skill - a true sign of a veteran team.

In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation.

I'm hopeful that the success we've been having the last two years leads to more consistency year in and year out.

I'm hoping that we will show more consistency. This past weekend, at times, we competed well, but just very inconsistently and part of that may be traveling on the road.

I have so far to go, I mean so far to go, but I can already see where it's paying off a little bit. I need to improve on consistency with my technique. I have to keep my pads down on every play. Have to be a better student of the game and break my opponents down better. It's going to take time.

In some ways I find the mouse to be a much more advanced device than your typical game controller, ... It is generally easier to learn because of the visual nature of its interface and has far more consistency across applications. The mouse is still rapidly changing (more buttons, mouse wheels), in a sense it represents the evolution of a new language based on micro-gestures of your hand and fingers. Whatever the device is, I think this new spatial/gesture language represents the most probable future of input devices.

If you can get 4.5-percent incremental performance over the course of 15 years, that really adds up. That speaks to investing in consistency and quality, as opposed to high valuation.

If you quit, what are you going to do day in and day out when you are used to working? You are better off with some consistency.

I improve and that is the key to my golf swing, ... I think consistency is the key. That comes from the golf swing. I can hit the ball longer and straighter than I've ever done before, so that's a key factor.

I knew Al was the kind of guy who every year is going to be in the running to be a head coach. He's a guy who's primed to be a head coach. He's always going to be a candidate. You want to make sure you have some kind of consistency with your offense.

At a gallery, ... the artist is the product. The gallery wants plenty of pieces. And it wants similar pieces. The gallery wants consistency in its product, the artist.

Suppan brings consistency, but he needs to start hitting home runs, ... It's exciting. It's always exciting to see pitchers hit home runs. He probably never thought he would be the one to do it. It was a pathetic home run trot, but it was fun to watch.

The baptism is officially on. We need them to be very good complementary players. We don't need them to single-handedly win games for us. We just need consistency and they're all capable of it.

The big thing with him is to gain some consistency to his positive play -- that's all we want out of him.

It used to be you see a handful of staffs out there recruiting consistency. And now you see just about everybody.

It was a disappointing season from the standpoint that we didn't have any consistency. They worked hard all the time and they maybe had their best practice of the year (Monday).

Once he stepped on campus he stuck to his word. From the beginning he said this is how it's going to be and this is what he wanted us to do. Every day in practice he stayed consistent and that consistency is something that goes on to the players. He made my senior year unbelievable. I think I owe him a lot in that sense.

Once again our main goal is consistency. As long as our dogs stay healthy and happy I think we'll have a good year.

It's no good playing well one week and rubbish the next. We need the consistency or you will get fans saying that they should have been here the week before and not coming back.

Absolutely. I think the consistency, or lack thereof -- where we are at this moment is not where you'd like to be after three games. We haven't done little things across the board. Everyone likes to discuss what we haven't done at quarterback, but we could talk a little bit about all the way down the line, where we need to get a lot better. We need to get a lot better fast, because when you start playing against the Big Ten defenses, yards and first downs and points are even more difficult. So we've got a lot of work to do and we've just got to get at it.

Danny is fortunate he's had the chance to really get some extended time, a chance to be a starter, to come off the bench, and he's learned a lot of what it's about. It's about developing a routine, not just relative to basketball, but relative to day-to-day life. Like keeping things organized and (perfecting) that. If you can do that and have some consistency with it, you can be successful.

The next two weeks we will be focusing on consistency. We have to be able to put that consistency together in the competition when it counts. Experience helps.

It's our consistency that has gotten us this far, and there's really no need to be looking for some other game plan, ... This is my final season as a driver and I want to go out being remembered as a winner.

It's got me baffled. We play well against worthy opponents. After 11 games we just don't have any consistency.

It's probably a lot of things, but mostly it's just for us consistency of play. We haven't consistently played well on defense or we haven't consistently played well on defense.

Every week here is a new challenge. Coaches want to see consistency and not ups and downs.

At times maybe he could play harder. It comes and goes. We need more consistency from him. He's our inside presence.

At the end of the game, when we needed to score some points, we turned it on. Unfortunately that's been an M. O. for us this season. We're only scoring when we have to score. When we have to, we do it. But it should never come to that. We should be able to play with the sense of urgency and consistency that allows these games not to come down to the last two minutes of every one.

The landscape is still very hazy for next year, but clearly Patrick's stock has certainly gone up. The consistency of his performances is what has been most pleasing for us.

Their consistency is what helped us win the ball game.
