Finishing Quotations | Page 4

Unfortunately it didn't go as I'd hoped. But fortunately I know there's a lot worse things in life than not finishing the Olympic Games with a medal.

We're in the transition between just finishing up a major harvest and waiting for some to grow here.

We're finishing it this week, ... It's all recorded and is basically down to doing the vocal overdubs and mixing.

We're finishing the story for my mother and father.

We are at some distance from effectively finishing the task.

We started hustling to the ball and making smarter decisions with the ball. And finishing is the big key. You can have chances, but you if you don't (put the ball) in the net...

We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive. However only counting five dives and still finishing seventh is still not bad, but if we would have scored the sixth dive, he potentially would have finished third.

Where our finishing was very, very good last weekend it let us down tonight. We really should have put the game away in the first 90 minutes and we haven't done that and have paid a heavy price for it. We are extremely disappointed.

We know well the difference between finishing second and third, above all in a summer with the World Cup finals.

Considering what we did, finishing with 26 wins and a four-game win streak, despite the injuries, we can count this as an excellent season.

Everybody was up and down all day. Those finishing few holes can really get you if you're not on top of your game. The greens dried out a lot throughout the day and were really fast coming down the stretch.

At the time, I swore to myself that I'd never do it again. But the more I thought about it, the more I saw that just finishing the Dakar Rally would be the ultimate experience.

I started seriously applying myself to writing fiction immediately after I finished graduate school. By 'seriously,' I mean that, instead of noodling along on a story, finishing it or not as the mood struck me, I set out to complete what I started, to polish it to the best of my ability, and to send out the finished story.

I used to work all hours of day and night, but changes in my life and physical stamina have meant that now I rarely work so long as I did-4 in the morning was a reasonable time to me, for finishing up. That isn't in my range any more.

I've been playing well since June and I just need to get past when I play well finishing 15th to 20th,

I've been coaching Marissa in softball since she was about 7 or 8, and she's a very good ball player. I felt this would be a great opportunity to go to Europe and put a finishing touch on her youth career before she goes to college.

The good part is that we are creating chances, the frustrating part is that we are not finishing enough. I do believe we have the depth up front, but it's a little bit of a concern.

You can never live life counting on being drafted. I have always planned on finishing my degree and seeing where life takes me.

We were fortunate that Humphrey was capable of finishing off some plays, or we wouldn't have had anybody in double figures.

We've been a day late and a dollar short too many times. We have to work on finishing out games.

We've been pointing to this game. We talked all spring about finishing games. It feels real good to close one today. That's what I told the girls.

We're talking about digital photo finishing mini- and micro-lab units.

We seem to be creating a lot of odd-man rushes. We're killing a penalty, but we seem to be jumping into the play and doing things like blocking shots to create a 2-on-1. We seem to be able to score and we're finishing those chances and I can't really explain why.

I started finishing my shots. In my first match I wasn't following through on my shots, and that's how he scored on me.

The third quarter was special. (Ashley) doesn't quite have the explosiveness she usually does, but it's actually got her slowed down a bit so she's finishing better.

The teamwork was there, the great passing was there and the finishing of the great passing. I think everything was clicking.

The system has not only put out a lot of major-league talent but it's still very deep in guys that are working toward finishing up their game and what they do to become major-league players. And not only major-league players but guys who can help compete and win.

The strength of your league is what is going on in the middle. We have always been good at the top. But we will have teams finishing 10th, 11th 12th in our league who are pretty darned good, and I don't know that anybody else has that.

The seniors have been real solid as we have been finishing up the year. Our whole team has been focused.

The series 'Supernatural Freak Machine' will not be finishing at IDW,

It was a huge blow not having Fabian in the scoring, but his health is more important than results. He has adjusted his medications and should be ready for tomorrow. I feel the men are skiing super consistent, finishing only seconds behind each other. Only having three skiers makes it difficult and really affects our team scores, but we are going to continue to ski strong.

When I went to college, I did clothing and textiles. It really wasn't until I moved to New York, my second night in, I did stand-up. I took a wild left turn, and instead of going back and finishing school at FIT, I started doing stand-up and acting.

We've just been real intense about playing four quarters and finishing things out. The first half of the season we played hard and didn't win. Now we're still playing hard and we're able to come away with a win. We're maturing as a team.

We've got to do a better job finishing the ballgame. We don't want to leave anybody open on a 3-point shot.

We've got to get better at finishing the game. We've got to finish that game on the foul line. That should end up being a 10-, 11-point game.

We've got to get more out of them then we did last night. We've got to do a better job of finishing around the basket and getting in better position to score.

I've said all along that the key thing is that we finish up this season on a positive note so that these guys feel good about themselves and feel good about what we can accomplish next year. That's the biggest impetus and with the way we're finishing up, I think everybody feels the same way, that this team has a chance to be a real nice basketball team if we continue to work at it.

I've preached to a lot of guys in here about playing and finishing strong. Sure, it's a little frustrating for myself to not be able to finish.

I very much hope the success that's already been achieved will help Wells get over the finishing line and raise the money still required.

The run that we made was us really getting the job done and finishing our shots.

It was all about being aggressive with our press, getting after it and finishing the game. They had two go-to players. But our heart and effort were the difference. And we need to do more than play this way at home. We need to carry this energy with us.

We think that this is the best player that we've had in years and years in this organization. At this time in August, we're a great team. We'll see where we are in November, but we're really, really excited to have Peter here with us, and we hope he puts the finishing touches on our team.

We're disappointed in the game tonight, but it doesn't deter the body of work that we put together. Being 9-7 (in the conference), finishing seventh, and also the road wins we got, our resume is definitely strong enough to get us into the NCAA Tournament.

While it will take us some time to put on the finishing touches, the future holds a bigger, brighter, better space that will allow us to better serve you.

We're taking more individual accountability and taking more pride in stopping their man. We're getting very important stops and finishing it by grabbing rebounds.

There is so much going on that I still feel the possibility of finishing much stronger at the end of the season.

We've had trouble finishing out games recently. I thought tonight, we played three really good quarters to end the game.

To win a championship in March is something you work for all year. It puts a finishing touch on a great year we've had so far, and more to come hopefully.

We created a lot of opportunities and in fact were dominating play but lacked finishing so that's what we'll be polishing up this week.

We created a lot of opportunities we just have to start finishing a little bit better.

Even though she was starting 24 out of a field of 30 she never gave in, with each of her runs faster than the run before. Jessica ended up finishing 14th in the slalom with a combined time of 68.97 seconds. This combined with her score of 55.99 in the giant slalom gave her a combined final score of 124.96 seconds. Jessica finished 15th overall, just missing the cut for Team Connecticut by a little over two seconds. Still, it was quite an accomplishment going from 24th place to 15th place in a highly competitive field.

We had some chances. But we never got the big hit we needed. We've had a lot of opportunities this season but we've had trouble making the big play to put the finishing touches on games.

We are still hanging in there, competing and finishing to the end.

We did a nice job finding the open person and finishing inside. We got the type of shots we wanted by really moving the ball really well. I really think we're doing better at finding the open person and getting the ball inside. That has made a big difference.

After a wayward drive which resulted in a double bogey at the 16th, finishing off with two consecutive birdies is definitely the highlight of the day for me.

Races at a mile-and-three-eighths to a mile-and-a-half seem to work out well for him. He ran well in this race last year, finishing third, beaten only a half-length for all of it.

Of course we wanted to win the state title, but finishing third out isn't all that bad. When you consider how many teams started out in the state tournament, third place is quite an accomplishment.

Offensive lineman are sealing off defenders and finishing off their blocks.

After the big trailer (in June) everyone agreed Kong should go quiet for a while, which I think is a good thing. There's a bunch of other movies coming out over the next few months and it's good to sit back in the shadows and focus on finishing the best film we can.

Failing to qualify was a huge disappointment for me personally. I missed the last World Cup because of injury and this time we ended up finishing fourth in Group Four so we didn't go through.

Finishing 1-2-3-4 last year was amazing. It was something people thought we couldn't do, and we weren't so sure we could do it. Things just fell our way as a team last year. I was disappointed not to win it because of the problems in our pit. We left Homestead on a high note. We really did. That sets us up for the whole season.

Finishing 16-0 would be a nice footnote and we're going to try to do it. But it's not the ultimate goal. We didn't go into training camp thinking of an unbeaten season.

Finishing 20th against this kind of competition wasn't bad.

Finishing 3-1 on our part was really good. I think we are definitely passing much better. Our offense is definitely working, and we are learning a new defensive system and still working the kinks out. It's our goal to make it to the playoffs and these things are stepping stones to do that.

Finishing all of these projects would be the biggest accomplishment in terms of protecting our beaches during my time with (the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control,

Finishing eighth at the Open as a team is awesome.

Finishing eighth is remarkable for this team. We had a lot of ups and downs, but to pull it together and do as well as we did in the tournament was unexpected. When we hit adversity, we sometimes drifted. In Saturday's game with Whatcom, we surged through that and got a win to get to the last day, which was our goal.

Finishing fifth is not a bad result. It has helped us in the points.

Finishing fourth, you're almost there, you've almost got a medal. I think going into the next Games, it gives you confidence. Coming fourth feels terrible at the time because you're on the verge of getting a medal. But you also know you're so close that you can do it.

Finishing games in the fourth quarter is something we have got to learn. It's part of a growing process for a young team.

Finishing is still one of our concerns, ... We still need to do a better job of finishing, especially around the 18 and inside the box. We've got to be able to tuck things away and score goals. Moravia is a young group like we are but we still need to do a better job of that.

Finishing off 12-4 is our goal. I don't want to say the intensity, but the importance of the playoffs starts this week. So we're in playoff mode starting now, and we'll continue going into next week. So you can look for us to actually be playing like it's our first playoff game.

Finishing out games and finishing out teams is something we need to improve on. It starts by finishing out quarters and we did a good job of that tonight.

Finishing runner-up to a powerhouse like Upper Arlington is a nice accomplishment.

Finishing second is not going to do her any good. If she had 10 seconds it's not going to do her any good in the long run. You break records by winning tournaments.

Finishing sixth is a great thing. You want as much home court as possible.

Finishing strong this weekend in the last game, we really put things together and looked like a team firing on all six cylinders. When we string it all together, we can get production at every position.

Finishing under .500 isn't by any means a successful season. We want to get into the MAC Tournament. To do that, we'll have to get it together this weekend.

Finishing up was not a big deal. I would like to have had my rhythm going.

Finishing with our record is pretty dog-gone-good for a first year program.

But no golfer ever likes finishing second and I'll be doing everything I possibly can to go one better this time.

Both the men and women had some great races today. With all the men finishing in the top ten along with solid finishes from the women's team, we have put ourselves in a great position at this point. It's halftime right now and we are right where we want to be.

The governor has a history of finishing strong,

We had some times in the game, especially in the third quarter, where I thought we were playing really well and getting great shots but we were not finishing them. I was impressed with the guys for not getting down. Sometimes that can get to you. The guys did a good job not letting it bother them.

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.

So, while we have no expectations of going out and winning the Teams championship, we do have expectations of finishing on the top step of the podium.

Definitely. They said if somebody wins or loses on Saturday that Pittsburgh would need to win to make the playoffs, so if we have a chance to knock them out it would be a great confidence boost for us finishing the season.

Cody had a nice overall season, finishing with a 17-11 record.

Coaches are never satisfied. The overall grade of the game was an 'A,' but finishing at the basket was a 'C-plus' and our rebounding was about a 'C-plus/B-minus,' but in the overall context we played a really good game.

Coach Wright has mastered the art of getting the highest level of performance from his players. By finishing as co-champions in a very competitive Big East and making a great run in the tournament, coach Wright proved he deserves to hold the Naismith Award this season.

You're playing great in the tournament and all of a sudden, in one hole, you might as well be finishing last.

That's got a lot to do with who we play. We play good teams and we've had trouble finishing this season so far. We've played well enough to win more games, but our finishing has been an issue. We're getting there.

That shot to end the half hurt us. They had all the energy in the second half after finishing that second quarter hot.

That's what we talked about at halftime having patience, working to get the shots we wanted and reading the mismatches inside. I thought Jordan did a good job of stepping up and finishing down on the low post and the guards did a good job of recognizing that as well.

A lot of the talk before was suitcases and how many do you have, how many are you going to send home? ... Nowadays, we don't even talk about that. It's fun to talk about just playing the game and finishing strong and extending the season. My focus has changed from thinking about suitcases to how we extend the season deep into October.

Personally, I like what they ask me to do. I like going into the corners and finishing my checks every day. I?d like to keep it simple. After Christmas, it?s come to me what this team expects from me and what I should do if I want to get to the next level.

Probably around 14, when I was finishing primary school. I'm coming from a pretty small city in Croatia, not too many options to train, not too many players. So I had to either choose to stay at home to do more school or move to Zagreb to the national training center. That was when I made decisions to do something better in tennis.

Right now we're finalizing contracts on the dates we have, finishing construction and getting our ticketing operation up and running by October. We'll be on the phone with additional artists to supplement what we have, but we're thrilled at what is already on the schedule for our first season.

People read vampire novels and say, 'Oh I want to read another vampire novel.' People read fantasy, and they're like, 'Oh I love fantasy.' I don't know that people are necessarily finishing 'Hunger Games' and immediately wanting to read another dystopian tale.

Right now, there are folks in our area leaving to go to Louisiana who will be making $2,000 a week just to rebuild, ... Anytime you open the paper, there are people needing finishing carpenters. We want to give them good skills to help them find good employment.
