Practice Quotations | Page 11

He's a guy that's going to help our young guys. He's been great with our young guys. ... When he steps on the practice field, (he) knows how to go, how to work.

Hers was a small-town practice. She knew a lot of her patients. Most had no insurance and therefore could not afford the tests the state's experts said they needed to do.

Her work ethic is an example to everybody. She puts in everyday at practice and is very difficult to ignore because of her work ethic.

Her work ethic. We're trying to get her to work harder in practice. Last year it was at a five out of 10. This year, she's at a seven rather than nine or 10. It's better, but her future is ahead of her.

He's a good hitter. We see that in practice all the time.

He's a bust your butt kind of wrestler. He works hard in practice. He's had a rough time this year with injuries, but even so he's there every single day, icing, conditioning, jump roping -- whatever he had to do. He's an awesome kid to have in that room. I'm excited that he's only a sophomore.

He's a champion. Champions play like that. Champions practice like that.

He's a character. In practice he's cracking jokes all the time to get us going. When we're going in practice, if somebody fouls him he'll exaggerate it and make all kinds of noise. It's just simple stuff like that that makes us laugh. He's a big, great guy.

We are focusing on many aspects of the situation, including participation in relief efforts, providing services to players and staff impacted by the tragedy, and the logistical issues of where the Saints will practice and play. No decisions have been made on the Saints' home schedule. We are exploring options should the Superdome be unavailable.

We told the kids that Roberts and Holscher can run. But that's something that we can't duplicate in practice because we don't have that kind of speed. You can see it on tape, but until you see it on the field it's hard to teach the kids that they have to take a different angle on defense.

We told them after the game, 'You have 12 hours to enjoy this. We'll see you tomorrow at 10 o'clock for films,' ... We were a little sluggish in practice on Tuesday, so we had a little conversation about what can happen if you're satisfied with what you've accomplished. The kids have picked it up and gotten back in the groove. They're not too high or too low.

We surrounded (Kevin). We brought in two veteran players in Sam Mitchell and Terry Porter that we thought were two very professional type individuals that would show him how to handle practice situations, what it was to be professionals, to prepare for practice, to prepare for games, how to deal as far as off the floor, not to put yourself in any awkward-type situations. And then we tried to communicate with him. Our biggest thing was we gave him enough responsibility on the court that he was able to perform, yet still improve.

We take pride in going out and working hard at practice. We enjoy being around each other, so it'll be a whole different environment. It'll be a whole different game.

We've done some things in practice where we'll play a bigger lineup, playing a two at the point. And even the development of (rookie Alex) Acker at practice, in certain situations, we might not be afraid to play him some.

We've got to go back to the drawing board. Hopefully, we'll have a good practice (Thursday).

We've got to go back to the gym right away (today). We didn't practice our offensive sets enough. That was a coaching error. We worked more on our defense than our offense and it showed.

We've got to have a good week of practice. That's where it starts. I don't think we had a great week of practice last week. We've got to buckle down and work hard because everybody's tired of it.

We've got to move on, we've got to get ready to play Jerome. The kids responded in practice (last Friday) with a hard, physical practice. ... It wasn't a practice for the weak of heart, but no one complained. That says a lot about the kids.

We're not winning many games, but our effort in practice is there every day. We try to tell the kids every day that we want to get better, and they're doing that. It doesn't reflect in our wins, but it reflects in how hard these guys work every day.

We told them at the end of practice that you work 352 days for 13 Saturdays. This is their first chance to be seen as this football team. It's an exciting time.

I love all these guys to death. We're like a family. It feels weird not to be going to practice on Monday.

I'll always look for the 3 ball but they were kind of shading me. I just tried a few drives. J.T. (CCHS assistant coach James Thompson) taught me a few of them in practice yesterday.

I look up at the banners in our gym almost every day at practice and we've been open as a school since the 1970s and to see six, now seven, (district) banners and to know the girls have five of those, that's pretty special.

I maintain that today many an inventor, many a diplomat, many a financier is a sounder philosopher than all those who practice the dull craft of experimental psychology.

I actually thought he played pretty well for a guy who had one practice under his belt. I think that has to be a boost for our team.

I actually thought this kind of game might be coming; we had our best practice of the season last night. We knew York would be physical, and I was very happy with how our kids played. Of course, Mason came up with the big shot at the end. He?s a big-time player who made a big shot.

I always expect our play to stay at the same level or to get better. I never expect anything else because in practice we have players that are good and compete hard. It makes stuff a lot easier knowing that you can have somebody come in for you and compete the same way you do.

He's pain-free so we're fairly confident that he'll certainly be right by the first round, but hopefully be able to get one or two practice matches in.

He's part of this family. You know it's more serious than we'd like it to be when he has to miss practice because he's tired. He loves the game so much. He loves the team so much. And he's such a competitor that he doesn't want to miss anything.

He's played well for a kid who hasn't had much practice with the starting unit.

He was like my big brother, ... He really took care of me -- made sure I met everybody, and played practice rounds with great players. He did a lot for me when I came out, things I'll never forget.

Hunt set the table. That was pure conditioning there. He's by far our hardest worker. He stays after practice, works on his feet. He waited for his shot.

Huron Consulting Group continues to expand its footprint in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech sector. And our Performance Improvement practice is helping companies across industries improve the bottom line. In joining these growth practices, Mark, Gary and Paul will have significant opportunity to build professional strength and our company's market presence. We welcome them and know that their depth of experience will be invaluable to our clients.

How will our defense play this year? That?s what I?ve been asking myself. Each day we work at practice on team defense and then individual defensive skills. We are going to be inexperienced in this area.

He was our leader. He worked so hard in practice that everyone else had to work hard just to keep up. He made us all better players.

He was one lucky guy because he got to come to work everyday and be with his family. (His daughter) managed his practice in this building that we're in and his two sons also operated their practice out of this building.

We have to be better offensively and I think we will. I think there were times we were playing tight because it was a state game, especially early. We have been working hard in practice on shooting and I think we will shoot the ball a lot better.

We have to be careful. Eventually, yeah, but this is his third week of practice. We've got to be smart with him. We've got to be careful that we don't try to do too much, that we do the things that he knows and feels real comfortable with.

We may have to dot one more 'I' or cross one more 'T,' but he'll be over at the facility when the team gets back and resume practice as soon as they get back.

He wanted to play last week and perhaps he could have, ... But we wanted to make sure he had a full week of practice before he played. Now he's had that.

He wanted to play. We let the team decide that. Porter's a competitor, and they voted to let him come out. He's a competitor from the time he walks on the practice field to the time he walks off. He's a nice addition to our defense.

He wants nothing but the hardest. If you're not giving your all, he's not going to be happy. That's basically what our team is trying to do. The minute you are out there you have to go hard and we practice that every day.

He wants to play. I trust him because I know how unselfish he is. If he didn't think he could step in and run our game plan, he would tell me. As you saw on the practice field today, he's very sharp. He knows what he's doing.

He was a good kid. I'd see him on the practice field. He would ride on the team planes. This is a tough situation and my heart goes out to the family.

He was a great inspiration to the players and coaches, ... On those days when he had to take chemo and radiation, he was at practice that day and sometimes the cumulative effects would cause him to miss the next day, but the time when he wasn't active in the program was minimal.

He was a great inspiration to the players and coaches. On those days when he had to take chemo and radiation, he was at practice that day and sometimes the cumulative effects would cause him to miss the next day, but the time when he wasn't active in the program was minimal.

He was a helluva an athlete, ... If that's somebody they have on their practice squad, then you know the guy taking snaps in the game is the real deal.

He was a horrible practice player. He would show up late. He was lazy, and he was a disruptive player for the team.

I always, always hated it, ... but I was always the only kid on the team who could do it. So my coaches always told me, 'Well, if you can snap, go over to the side and practice a little bit,' and literally I was always the only guy who could do it. So I did it in pee wee, midget, junior high school, high school, college. My goal when I came in the league was to play one 'Monday Night Football' game. Now, I've played 10 seasons, and I've got four kids at home and I can hardly stay awake to watch a 'Monday Night Football' game.

Having a field person that doesn't always come to practice isn't as bad as a runner because you really have to be in shape. Field events, there's really no cardiovascular, it's more about skills.

Having a functioning justice system is vital to the recovery of those states hard hit by Hurricane Katrina because it provides a needed sense of normality, and a venue to address grievances, ... Allowing attorneys displaced by the storm to temporarily practice law from Nevada is a simple step on our part that can assist their justice systems and preserve the rights and liberties of their citizens.

He comes into a totally unfamiliar situation, has no practice time to learn the system and does what he did out there tonight. That was great. He brought some very positive energy to our team.

He comes to practice with a big old lunch pail and sweats on.

He competes in every practice, every game. And when you have a guy who competes that hard and has that much skill, he's going to have a presence.

He caught a deep route here (in practice), so I guess he's still got it. You can't underestimate Isaac.

Heck, nobody wrote an article on us in five years and now we have people coming by practice to take pictures. This is all new to us. (Two-time state champion) Satellite Beach usually gets all the attention over here.

He'd cuss me out, and then as soon as practice was over, he'd pull me over and told me he needed me to play. It wasn't a disrespect thing, he was just trying to motivate me.

(He) was running around like he did last year (before the injury). He couldn't run like that in practice last season.

He was rusty. He played wide receiver last year and last week with everything going on our practice was a little disruptive. He is seeing the field and knowing his mistakes. It is good to see that he knows what is happening.

He was happier on that side and as a result, he was exceptional in practice (Wednesday). He likes the left a lot more because he thinks it helps his confidence and speed.

He was really getting pretty good. He would practice at a respectful hour between 4 and 6 and would stop at 6.

He was one of my favorite teammates. He worked me like crazy in practice. I'm still trying to figure out the other part of him. It's not about the money with him. But it's the only way he thinks he can talk to the organization, by saying things about the quarterback.

We make a lot of demands on them in practice about rebounding. They were up for the challenge tonight.

We make a practice of being on- site for the initial install of every site. OSP engineers have joked with me that I must have worked in the field because the platform is designed to accommodate the 'fat fingers' of the field technician, rather than the manicured hands of a laboratory engineer.

We lost some games early in the season when we didn't knock down free throws when we needed to. It's something we work on in practice every day and try to make it competitive. Tonight, it paid off.

We look at fall practice as an introduction to the personalities on our team and a way to get to know the people involved. We are also not trying to defend the National Championship, but instead going out and playing the game, which is a lot easier said than done. We are talking to the players about the importance of enjoying the process without feeling the external pressures of trying to live up to something.

We look for each player to play his assignment and make a play or two. We're going to practice everybody about the same amount - mostly the younger guys, the guys who haven't played much, which is about the whole team. We're going to try to improve, try to get better.

Well, you pay attention to what you're doing and watch film. But we've also got some pretty good defensive ends and linebackers that give us pretty good looks in practice. You just practice hard.

He couldn't get to the practice field quick enough to correct some things and learn from his mistakes.

He couldn't practice all week, and it showed.

He could take over a game with his shooting. His rebounds and assists went way up this year. He always knew what was going on, helped us get into our offense, and even at practice he knew when it was time to get down to business.

I am going to begin now a practice of not making recommendations on specific tax and spending proposals.

I am going to miss each one of them for special reasons. Zinck, for his maturity and the forwardness in the way he practices; Coop in terms of the way he wrestles, he's just phenomenal in the practice room; Letters with his talent; and Frick with his hard-nosed attitude.

I am grateful to have had Tom Udall as my mentor in the practice of law.

I always respect a person's right to practice in accordance with their personal beliefs if they make advance notice to customers of those beliefs.

He tries this way in practice, he tries this way in Game 1, and he's trying this way now. He's more concerned about winning games and winning the Stanley Cup.

He turned it again a little in practice (on Tuesday), but we're hoping he can play.

If that intensity on the practice court increased, it would make her better, and more than anything, make everyone else better. Sometimes, when she is laid-back, everyone else is like her. I would like that to improve, and her strength to improve. That would help us tremendously.

If the snowmobile goes through the ice, there are certain DNR regulations that cover that, but no, skipping is not illegal. It's not a safe practice and it's not something to be encouraged.

He did the walk-through this morning and will not practice this afternoon.

He did well, actually better than I thought he would. We did not want him to go the whole practice because we didn't want him to get in an overuse situation where he might fatigue that particular injury and have additional problems.

He did well going the distance because he did not even practice yesterday.

He has called for an end to that practice and for freedom for journalists to practice their profession.

He had every thing we'd do in practice down to the minute. That's just the type of coach he was.

He had his quirks. We never had water. There was no water on the sidelines during practice in Cheney, Washington. It would be 100 degrees in Cheney and we would be paying ball boys to get us some ice cubes. They used to wrap them in towels you used to dry your face and you'd be chewing on ice.

He had his whole family down at practice every day,

He had just served as the best man in a recent wedding. He was an adult volunteer who helped out at youth activities, which is a common practice in every church. Like many other people in our church, I was completely caught off guard and shocked by this. It seemed completely out of character for him.

He had long vacation, but he's excited to come back. I see him anxious to want go out there and hit somebody. This pads practice doesn't do justice for him. He really wants to go out there and run that ball.

He had missed an extra point early. We practice that extra point field goal block twice a week in practice. I felt confident the guys would get it done.

He hustles on every play. He was in the right spot (on the game-winning basket). He never takes a play off in practice or in games. That?s what makes him so tough.

He is a hypocrite who professes what he does not believe; not he who does not practice all he wishes or approves

He has tons more skills than I do, ... I've never seen anybody put so much time into practice and create the skills he has.

He has unbelievable hand-eye coordination. He does practice that.

He has very good practice skills, good habits. He never does anything less than 100 percent, and that includes practice.

He was amazing with some of the things he'd do in practice, ... Practices can be a drag, but he made them fun.

He's got to practice more. He's really hung up on the fact that he can't type very well.

He's had a really good week of practice, and I'm really encouraged at where he's at right now. He's not full speed yet, but he's really close, and it's the closest I've ever seen him.

He's banged up and a result he's mentally banged up too. We rely on him for a whole lot. Everything kind of falls on his shoulders and he takes more pride in that than most people. That leads to a little more fatigue. I'm not a big fan - no coach is - of missed practice time, but we got to hope that if we sneak some days off in he'll be more energized.

He's coached in a lot of different places and tinkered with a lot of different ideas, but I've kept the same practice format that I learned from him for 14 years here. I guess he's gone the full cycle. He's always been very open-minded. He's receptive to change.

He takes great pride in it. He's always attentive to the game situation, knows when we're going to probably crank 'er up a little bit more than normal based on the situation. There's no dialogue; he's there before I ever get there. Kind of like you see guys in the Home Run Derby. They bring in their own batting practice pitcher. There's a select comfort you get from somebody.
