It's very important, ... And why is it important? Because that motivates me, and that pushes me. If I can visualize something, then it is easier for me to work there. But if I just said, 'Hey, I want to be a better player,' well, what does that mean? I need to see things. Goals are things I can understand, I can touch.

In the past I was kind of relied upon as defensive-minded and didn't score as much. This year's been good. Bryan has shown a lot of confidence in me. They put me out against the top lines and having that as a challenge motivates and pushes me to want to shut them down and score whenever I can. And Peter has had a great year (career-high 20 goals). We've played together a lot. Both him and Marty are fast and skilled and pretty easy to play with.

I have to get mad. It has to be personal to me. It has me playing the best. Even my mother says it: 'If you're not out there jawing, you're not playing tough.' It motivates me getting into it with people.

I haven't made my schedule yet for next semester, but whatever classes 'Lang' is taking I am taking. She is very, very smart and she motivates me in the classroom and forces me to work harder. I like that.

In order to get to the next level -- to make it down that final slope toward zero -- we must address the difficult questions of what motivates and drives people's decisions and choices about safety and health in the workplace.

Honestly, to hear and know what people are saying out there, they don't expect me to do anything, ... It motivates me all the time. 'I'm old. I'm over the hill. I'm not the answer. I won't be the answer in the future. I won't be the answer come Sunday.' We'll see.

Gas motivates our momentum to keep the car going. Gas is going to be really difficult. I might have to switch jobs.

An official Fantasy Opening Day creates a great deal of excitement for the many fans that have been itching to put together their teams for 2006. It also creates a buzz that motivates new fans to take an interest in playing Fantasy baseball and getting more involved in our national pastime.

The idea of the all-new FUSE Sports Coupe is a reflection of the boundless limits and creative envelope that embodies all the vital personalization components of a Scion product. Since the launch of Scion three years ago, designers have learned a great deal about what inspires and motivates Scion buyers through its unique vehicle lineup and instilled them into the FUSE.

The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to ''prime the pump'' and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.

It's a lot of fun and it motivates us to play hard. But the kids are going to have to bounce back and play hard the rest of the game (if we are scored on).

It's not the only answer, but it's just plain fun, and it's a motivator. If you enjoy it and your muscles are improving, it motivates you to work hard in other therapy,

It's more of just a learning experience -- learning what the Major League life is all about. I see the guys workout hard every day and it just motivates me to workout harder, too. Being here is just, a good way to put it is, this is where I want to be. This is the life I want. This is what I want to do.

It motivates us a little more. Away games are a lot tougher to win. So, our mindset has to be right. We've lost two road games already this year. I know all of us think about that.

It motivates us more. We have to regroup and not dwell on this loss because we still have games ahead of us.

It really helps knowing the coach believes in you. That really motivates you.

It's still kind of hard on me at times. I sit down and think about it a lot. They tell me don't worry about them because they've got to pay for what they did. They tell me they did wrong, and that motivates me a lot.

This motivates us to get it going and not feel this way again.

It's a top-notch facility; it's a little different than what we typically are running on. It's the atmosphere too, of knowing 'wow, this is where states will be.' In a way it mentally prepares them for what is yet to come. It motivates them to come back.

It's just good to know that people actually appreciate when you do give, ... I'm not the one for a lot of publicity, I'm not one to put myself out there with what I do, but in this case, I hope that it motivates others to give.

We went in and were very focused on playing our game, because we knew when you lose you go home. That motivates guys to play their best basketball. Fortunately for the team I was coaching, it was on a great roll both offensively and defensively.

It's good for everybody. There's a general feeling that we're all working together as a department and when a fellow student-athlete or fellow coach has success, it motivates all of us. There's a camaraderie between the athletes and coaches.

It's hard to figure out what motivates people and it seems like a lot of high school sports, if you can figure out that trigger of whatever gets you going, once you get it going, you can't stop it. That's the way we are. Once we're going, you can't stop us. But if someone doesn't step it up, you see what happens.

I am very fortunate that I have a large audience who watches my show, and who seem to love my show, and there's certainly a lot of people contact that comes from that. But that really hasn't changed what I still feel, or how I get up in the morning, or what motivates me to get to work.

I don't think we get much respect, quite frankly. Rutland has a reputation, and there's a lot of focus on Northern teams, but that's not really an issue. These kids play better when they feel like they're underdogs. I do think there's a lack of respect for what's going on in our neck of the woods, and I think (my players) like that. I think it motivates them.

The loss just motivates us, basically. Sparks is going to have to pay the price.
