Practice Quotations | Page 13

He'll go out with confidence and do the best he can. Since he walked in (to practice this season), he's led the team and scored some big points for us.

He'll gradually get back to where he needs to be as long as he doesn't get major doses of minutes. It would be great to have more practice time, but he's been in this situation before and he's familiar with it.

He never misses practice and he works hard on the technique we show him. I always tell him we're marketing you as the type of wrestler we want. If you listen then good things will happen like this.

He never took a day off, either. Those are two guys that are coming off major knee surgery a year ago and to get through a training camp and not miss practice says a lot.

He'll probably miss this week's practice match and then he'll be fine.

He looked good, but he's looked good for a while in practice and everything. I don't think his problem is going to be inconsistency in practice. He's always practiced good as far as work ethic and workout habits.

He looked good. We had a pretty short practice but I thought he looked really good.

He looked healthy. He moved around in practice, so he's ready to go.

He made some catches as an outside receiver, ... He made some big catches inside. He really is starting to come into his own. He's got to play like that every week and practice like that every week because he's definitely got the deep speed.

He flew in today, but he didn't practice with us.

He found great joy in the practice of law.

He expects the ball to be hit back to him and he gets in good position. He reminds me of a guy I used to play with, Fernando Valenzuela . They expect the ball to be hit back at them and they practice it. Perfect practice makes perfect results.

he explains. There was a lot of rubber on the track from the IRL practice and it began to sprinkle just as I went out. However, I knew we had a great Dodge and figured if we could qualify in the top 10, we would be good to go.

He got a blow to the head (Thursday) -- that we weren't aware of -- in practice and it seems some of the symptoms which are a concern medically in terms of (a possible concussion) and with only two days left before the game, it's not safe to play him.

He got a chance to get his hands on a ball last week, which is big. He was real happy about that and I was as well. He's just a guy who goes out there and works hard every day. And he shows it. He's that type of guy. Whether it's practice or a game, he's out there working hard.

He guards me in practice like that, real real intense. Coach (Gerald Cox) told me they were going to be physical with me like that, but just keep my cool, keep my composure and everything would be all right.

He had a clean bill of health when the trade was made and all his past situations were checked out. The one thing he had trouble with was his back, but he hasn't missed any practice time, and that's a totally isolated, different situation.

We took a lot of practice shooting, trying to stay in game mode. But it doesn't matter how hard you practice. It's not the same as game tempo.

We took a step back today, ... Sometimes we play to another teams level. Were not that bad. We had a bad week of practice and it showed on the field.

We're pretty old-school coaches, ... You've got to do it in practice if you're going to do it in the game. I'm not going to relent on that. If you do it in practice, you'll do it in the game. If you don't do it, you don't get a chance to play in the game.

We just have to find out where we stand on Sunday and get back to practice. If we lose one more game, we go home for good, and Dee's and my career is over.

We just have to get back to the basics. We're going to practice our passing, controlling the ball, collecting the ball and our communication.

We just have to go back to practice and prepare. Defensively, we had some breakdowns tonight. We just have to go fix it and come mentally focused next time. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big-time atmosphere in there with a lot of people. We just have to learn how to tune the crowd out and just play ball.

Joe Glenn is a guy that will go back in practice and move him back, and so he's kicked some 60s, ... He's got that confidence. He knows he can do it. Don't be surprised if you see a 50-plus, a couple of them this year.

Joe told me something after the first practice Friday and it was just a tiny little thing, but it made a big difference, ... I even got to pass him once today, but it didn't take him long to retake his position. It's great to have a teammate like Joe, he's a pro and I appreciate the help he has given me. I just want to learn and get better in each race. I think I did that today. I am starting to figure out this oval racing.

John Daly played a practice round Tuesday, ... and a couple of the par-threes are so short that Daly didn't have time to smoke an entire cigarette.

Just the speed of the game (isn't there). We try to practice like it's a game, at the same speed. But you don't have the jitters of a game.

Keith and I thought we had really good communication but we hadn't had to have this kind of communication about our intimacy. We so often equate intimate relationships with ability to have intercourse, and what we try to help couples understand is that intimacy is not totally equated with intercourse. Intimacy -- as we all know but don't usually put into practice -- can happen in many, many ways.

My philosophy defensively is to try to take teams out of what they practice every single day.

My practice has not been ideological in any sense. And what I've been able to do is set aside any personal views and discharge the professional obligation of an advocate.

My practice is limited to jaw disorders, ... so as a result I poked around a lot and I found tenderness occurred often, and when I looked at the history, these were always headache patients.

My primary goal is to help remove the barriers to the implementation of information technology in the practice of medicine locally.

My son and Marty's son (assistant coach Marty Luc) come to every practice. My son Tommy is 9 and Marty's son L.J. is 7. They can't come on the court until their homework is done. Sometimes, when we have a late practice I'll walk into my office and our players will be helping them with their homework. When we went on a trip to Pennsylvania over the holidays, our players would play with the kids in the pool or take them to the mall. Most high school kids don't want to deal with that, but this group is special. My son's favorite basketball player of all time is Desmond Wade.

My mom and dad are still here, so we'll have a nice Christmas dinner, lots of food, and then try to digest it the 25th and then practice the 26th.

I was concerned about playing a game on the first day of school. We've always thought one of our worst days of practice every year is the first day of school.

I was elated to be in contention at this point for the amount of play and practice I had coming in.

I was disappointed that I couldn't do the triple axel. I had trouble doing it in practice and overcompensated in today's program.

I was disappointed with our performance in several matches. We can do better. It could be we just haven't had enough practice time.

I was confident in the fielders behind me. We practice every day. We work well together so I was confident.

I was definitely in too much pain for most of the season and not feeling the way I want to feel. Just to feel good enough to practice and play the game is something I guess I've taken for granted a little bit.

Lamar is a big back with good speed and quickness. He also has the ability to catch the ball which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good compliment to the rest of the backs on this team. We're look forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week.

Lance hasn't been able to practice much. He didn't get clearance to play until Friday.

Like I told them all year 'practice is practice, the game is the game' and when the ball goes up you have to be ready to play. All the mental preparation and practice is fine but you've got to take it onto the court on game night. Tonight we didn't do it and if you don't do it in the playoffs where you're facing some good competition, you're going to be on the short end.

Like letting a bull of a chute, wasn't it? I was trying to slow them down, but you can't hold those guys back. They practice hard all the time and when they get in there, you have to let them go.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.

Matt has a lot of confidence and it is great to see him have some success here. He really works hard in practice and he had a great summer also so we are pleased that he was able to come out and do what he did today.

Matt is a great quarterback. He comes to practice every day ready to play. He's been having great practice and that's where we build our confidence, in practice. If he has a great game, that'll build his confidence even more. ... He's looking like he's ready to play.

Looking ahead, Medtronic is exceptionally well-positioned to maintain its growth momentum, ... Significant investment in research and development promises to usher in a new era of medical technology, with continued advances in multi-chamber cardiac pacing, the increased use of device-biologic combinations, and the increasing role of information technology in transforming physician practice and patient care.

Marshall always does it and Marshall wasn't in the game. That's an issue for me. We always practice it with Marshall and he's supposed to be in the game. There was some confusion there. That's a coaching deal all the way.

Marvel is the reason why I'm still playing football. Bottom line. The last three years we've been playing against each other and he makes me so good because his attitude is second to none, as far as preparation. There's nobody on the team that works harder than Marvel Smith. There isn't. You go in the weight room every day after practice and he's in there. He's getting better. His mechanics are superb, man. He stays square; his hands are great; his feet are good. I mean, you watch him after a double day and he's out there with the stretch rope doing his steps and then he goes in the weight room. He won't let anyone outwork him or outplay him. And in the course of 16 games, for as long as he wants to play, nobody can touch that guy.

Marcus is such a good player and he contributes a lot. He's had the attitude in practice that he's going to help us. He's been real good. He's had an upbeat attitude. I think all of us as a team are looking forward to him coming back. He knows what's coming (on the road). Marcus is the type that he'll use that to his advantage. He just has to block that out and play his game.

Marcus Johnson, who works very hard in our practice sessions, looks better in games than he does in practice. I like that.

'Marielena' was a wonderful experience that so many people still remember today. It challenged me to practice my Spanish. Having been born and raised in Miami, English was very much my dominant language!

Someone said he should smile more in the practice session. On the walk on the beach with a number of (advisers) they had specific ideas on issues they thought their counterparts in communities would respond to.

Some guys can lead and some guys can't. I have a lot of trust in Jermaine and I know he wants to be a good leader. But to just throw him in there and say, 'OK, you're our leader,' that's tough, especially when you're injured a lot. You lead by example and not with words, and when you're not out there every day in practice and games, it's hard to lead.

Some guys practice pretty good and then they get in a game and they're a different person. These guys got talent. It's who can eliminate the error.

Some of those customers that don't practice energy conservation may see their bill increase by 20 or 30 percent.

Some of them play well on the practice field, but in front of a crowd ... it can be a different story. If you lay an egg on Saturday ... it's not a good thing.

That boy played so hard in practice it was all a reward. He gets the first team better each and every day, so when he got to start I knew he would come to play.

That deuce is what helps you in the 100. I truly believe that. With my weight, my strength and doing these deuces, the 100 is coming so easy to me now. Because I've got the start. I can get you out of the blocks. Now it's 'can you hold on?' I truly believe I can hold on, because I can do it in practice now.

That comes from, you know, practicing for 10 days. We haven't had 10 days straight practice since the beginning of the season. Everybody was just anxious and ready to play. I think we came out real relaxed.

I respect the fact he's worked hard through this and been a good team player for us. Anytime there's been a skate or practice or meeting, whatever, he's given us 100 percent of his time and effort. But he's made it clear he wants to leave.

I sat her one time, just to make an example out of her. It was on a Saturday and she came to practice late. We had to call her and wake her up.

I run all day in practice, so I'm used to it,

Some of the guys had already shaved their heads and had to wear stocking caps during a conditioning practice so that he wouldn't be able to tell. After practice, we brought him into the locker room and showed him what some of the guys had done and brought out some clippers and we all shaved our heads right there.

Some of these doctors have been in practice 20 to 30 years, ... And then there's even some questions, if it's a new technology, can they even learn it comfortably?

(Starting a week early) has been nothing but negative to me. Quite honestly, I'd rather travel to California than do it again. We went eight straight days before getting a break in preseason practice - that adds to injury problems.

Spiritual practice should not be confused with grim duty. It is the laughter of the Dalai Lama and the wonder born with every child.

Reflection is only a partial understanding of truth if it does not translate itself in practice into commitments to the common good and justice. Truth is not mere abstraction but something to be done and is only apprehended when this is realized.

Regardless of who we're playing, we want to play as good as we can this time of year. We had a good practice (Monday), and we hope to be at our best (in the sectional).

Really, this has been a tough season. We've had some chemistry issues. We've had to practice with machinery going on, so that we could barely hear each other. There's just been a lot of adversity, some of it self-made, but we came together.

Physician assistants can take care of 80% to 90% of the concerns that come into a family practice office.

States should have the right to enact... laws... particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.

Staying like we are right now is not (an option). Bouncing from facility to facility, moving next week to another locker room, moving to another building, practicing at different fields, getting practice interrupted, changing schedules every day.

St. Catherine's outplayed us. We were prepared at practice and just did not play very well tonight. For whatever reason, we looked like a deer in headlights.

Steve brings great leadership skills. He leads by example. He's not really an outspoken guy but you see him at practice and he takes the lead.

Sure we have a lot of young kids, but most of them can play ball and the rest have the desire to learn. We've just had weather problems, which have cut down our practice time.

Swanson is a dedicated individual. She works hard and does a good job in practice, and in meets, she works extra hard.

Such a practice is not consistent with our position on animal welfare, which calls on contract poultry producers to serve as stewards of the birds they raise for our company.

Pianists have the Van Cliburn competition and guitarists have a number of contests, as well, but the electric bass is such a young instrument, relatively speaking, that this sort of thing just hasn't happened until now. Victor and I have been talking about this for a couple of years because we go around the world and we bump in to people who just blow us away. They've been practicing for years on this stuff that nobody's ever heard. They might be well-known players or just hiding out in a practice room working on techniques we don't even known about.

Players bounce back quickly. It's a new season. They understand that. We had a good practice (Tuesday). That whole offense has to start playing up to their abilities. They have to show more heart.

Playing a competition and playing a concert are two very different things. And our piano judges were wonderful and friendly people who would go to great lengths to make the person feel at ease. It's almost as if you're in a practice room by yourself.

Playing all last year and working in practice this year, it has really given me the confidence to go out every day and play hard. With each game, it has given me a chance to play more and learn more things. You can see where your game can go. It's always testing you.

Playing at 9 a.m. is fine for us. We were able to practice at our gym this morning and felt good when we got here. Anyone who makes excuses about the time shouldn't be playing here.

Playing one match in two weeks will help us prepare for district better. This gives us the opportunity to heal some of our injuries and practice on the things we need to work on. We'll be spending a lot of time drawing up scoring plays. We want to be flying before district play starts.

Playing three games in three days, we needed some help from our bench. We play against these guys in practice every day, so we know how good they are. They gave us a lift.

Playing with her in practice, you know what she can do. You know she can rebound. You know she can guard some of those smaller post players, and obviously, she can knock down that three.

Playing with those guys helped me with my confidence. It's a different setting, but it's an opportunity to practice with and against some great players.

Plays like that, we practice that a lot. Coach always talks about plays that take the life out of the other team. And that play right there, that's what it did.

P.J. used to get on guys pretty hard in practice for making a mistake, and he'd kind of leave them there to stew about it. Now, he gets on them but also helps teach them how to correct the mistake.

Our recruits and officers obviously cannot practice high-speed chases on the streets of Newark. Yet sadly, they do happen, and our officers must train for them. By making use of modern technology, Newark's finest will be able to simulate and train for these incidents.

Our passing was abysmal. Passing is a caring skill. If you care to put the pass on the guy's tape, you can make it. I haven't played a game in 30 years and I know I can do it. I do it in practice every day.

Our passing was much better than it has been in practice.

Our players have checked in, and we start practice tomorrow. We're very excited about it, but more important, the players are excited. ... Now it's time for practice. It's time for football.

Our positions are solidifying, ... Our objective and our paramount goal really is to stop the anti-competitive practice that restrains consumers' choices, whether it is requiring the browser be purchased and be incorporated into the Windows product, or restraints on the Internet service providers and content providers.

President Bush has handed out some of the country's most difficult and important jobs - leadership positions in public safety and emergency response - to politically well-connected individuals with no experience or qualifications, ... This common sense legislation will end this practice and ensure that public safety is back in the hands of those who are trained and experienced in protecting the public.

Really you don't want to reflect too much on either the wins or the losses after they happen. At the next practice you have to start getting ready for the next opponent.

Part of the reason I liked the idea of doing the film was that it was very wordy. I was getting good practice playing Brutus. So 'Inside Man' felt a bit like Shakespeare goes to the streets or something.

Pat told me what had happened before practice Friday, and I stayed to watch. It looked like any other practice I've ever seen him run.
