Practice Quotations | Page 14

Our medical school puts the highest percentage of graduates into pediatrics and family practice in the country.

Part of the fun is watching kids take batting practice and run around the field and create memories.

Paul's worked extremely hard and has shown excellent play in practice and in scrimmages. Paul will probably get that opportunity at another time.

Pay By Touch is changing the way the world transacts. We are truly honored to showcase our innovative payment service at The Tech, because it brings this significant payment shift into perspective. More consumers will have an opportunity to experience a revolutionary technology that we expect will become common practice for everyone within the next few years.

Our kids worked hard for everything they got this year. I would love to get the first half back in the finals, but that is the sport. Every day, every single day, these guys showed up for practice and worked hard to succeed.

Our new guys have come in and believed that they belonged from the first day. They practice like it and then they go out there on Sunday and show it. Without those guys, we are an average football team, a little above .500. I think we owe them a lot.

People just don't know how skilled Luc is. People don't appreciate how athletic he is. I knew it even before practice began, when he was playing in the summertime in the Men's Gym. The sky is the limit for him.

People just yell at you more. You hit a line drive in batting practice and they're going crazy. It's actually a good feeling.

I see her doing really well in the backstroke again, ... She's been very smooth in the water since we started practice and she just looks good.

I see her doing really well in the backstroke again. She's been very smooth in the water since we started practice and she just looks good.

I saw, for the first time in my life, two or three young white women smoking tobacco in clay pipes. From their manner it was evidently a well-formed habit, and one which they did not suspect there was occasion for them to practice clandestinely, or be ashamed of.

I saw it many years ago back home. I tried it a couple of times in practice just for fun. And I saw that Olie was basically unbelievable. Everybody tried everything - shots, moves - and basically nothing worked. So I said maybe that's going to surprise him a little bit. And it did.

I saw myself as a facilitator. They knew specifically what freedom of speech was -- they could give you the textbook definition -- they had never had the opportunity to practice it.

I will know how much impact my elbow is going to take only when I practice more. Frankly it is too early to say when I will be back.

I went with experience, game experience, ... I should've gone with practice experience. That's the lesson I learned.

I think that comes about from never attempting to fail. There's times he'd go out in practice, and I'd say, If you don't throw five interceptions today, you didn't have a good practice.' You have to learn as a quarterback what you can and can't throw.

I think that free throws are the most overlooked thing in basketball. There are some coaches who don't even practice them. We try to get in 100 every day.

I think we see the leadership every day at practice and she works extremely hard, she's dedicated to basketball and it's contagious. She's very demanding of herself and her teammates...and she's going to be a leader for a long time on this team.

Last week he couldn't practice at all. He's a little sore, but he'll be fine.

Last year and before Todd (was promoted), I would stay after practice with Juan and just work on my sets at left tackle, just in case. I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Koonce brought a little bit of spirit and veracity out there at practice. It was good to have him back out there.

Jimmy came to practice Tuesday with a stiff neck so I held him out of Wednesday's match with Riverview (Lemon Bay lost 7-0). He could have played today, but I had plenty of other kids who could play so I decided why take a chance.

Jimmy has been giving a consistent effort since last fall when he started training club. He goes to high school practice and is lifting weights all the time. He's put in a solid, solid effort.

(Jerod) is battling the flu. He wrestled well, he's doing the things we've been working on in practice - getting his shots high and finishing hard.

Just came in here and decided to deal with it. Guys were here who are committed to practice, who are committed to trying to change this series around and trying to win the game (tonight). That's pretty much what all our focus was on.

Just an easy day. Practice a little bit; see what the greens are like. We've got until Friday. That's plenty of time to play the course.

I think there are two things. It's an extra burden on our players. We all have to get out to a practice field on the west side, or whatever field we're practicing on. And also, it takes away a home-field advantage.

I think everyone will be so excited, it won't matter what time we start. We were excited (Monday) at practice, so I know we won't have any problems being ready. We try to turn every game into a track meet, so the length of the court won't bother us.

Lang has an NBA body. We'll get a good week of practice in next week with just two games and then we can see where he can fit in.

Lang was big. That first hit sparked our offense. We ran him in there and gave him a shot, and he delivered. He's one of our top-five practice players, and he took advantage of his opportunity today.

Laparoscopy requires a different skill set than open surgery. Surgeons typically view patients from the outside in. When a laparoscopic camera is inserted, they see patients from the inside out. Hand/eye coordination is difficult to master. Practice on a simulator would allow surgeons to perfect their technique with no risk to patients.

Last season's over. I wish we could start practice right now. I'm excited about the future and anxious to get started.

Last time, the kids didn't practice well. They were looking at their press clippings a little too much. This time, they dug in.

I remember when I was 16 and I could take the written test one week, take the driving test the next week and 'boom,' I had a license. The way it's set up now gives kids more practice under real driving circumstances with a parent who has the time they need to teach them.

James Lewis and those other kids in '78, '79 and '80 laid the groundwork for our state championship teams. But especially James. The kids that followed learned from him. We all did. He always came to practice prepared, practiced like it was game night and was better in the fourth quarter than he was in the first. He left an impression.

Jesse can end up in the final. He can win the whole thing. When Jesse wrestles his best he's hard to beat. We hope to get a good week of practice in and be ready to go.

Jason got hurt again in practice last week and missed three days. He played pretty well in the second half against Clarksville and we're confident that he'll be all right to start against Bentonville.

Jason will take the reps in practice as if he were going to start. He plans to start, and we assume he will start. He played well enough for us to win last week, and it would be nice to get him a win.

Jen remains unbeaten on the season with a dominating win. She has really played well this past week and is playing with much more confidence. Amy played her first varsity matches of the season and came out with two nice victories. Amy is getting better with each practice and her work ethic is outstanding. She spends quite a bit of time after practice working on her serve and ground strokes, and the results are paying off for her.

Jeremy's a little ahead right now. He's been here longer and got more experience. Right now, he's been the better practice player.

Our history is not necessarily in ice sports. This might have, as a consequence, a big number of boys and girls who will practice ice sports.

Our hitting was the biggest difference today. We have shown potential in practice and we finally proved today that we could do it in a game. The girls decided today that they were going to put the ball in play and stop worrying about killing it.

Our intensity was lacking the last couple of games. At practice we talked about really focusing, moving the ball well and finishing.

Our guys really responded and came to practice in good condition and did the things we asked them to do. That certainly makes our job easier and we can concentrate on improving in other areas. Our team speed has improved from last year, so we are ready to go.

Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.

Our kids are starting to see what they're capable of. We had a good practice Wednesday and it carried over tonight.

Our kids are used to being banged-around. We work them hard in practice and get them prepared to be able to handle physical play. Certainly you don't want to see anyone get hurt, but these kids have been through it all before.

Our guys call him Rudy. Josh is a guy who comes to practice every day and goes hard.

Our guys have been in the weight room all winter and spring and they are ready to hit people and get the real practice started.

Our guys in practice can't even duplicate what they do because they're athletic, they're quicker. You see an opening, it's there, and you've got to thread the needle because they do a really good job of covering a lot of ground.

Our kids have been playing pretty good basketball. They have practiced well and their attitude has been great. It seems to be every day in practice they are hungry to get better.

Our kids practice very hard in all types of weather, so it was good to see them rewarded for their efforts.

Pedro's problem finished his run prematurely, but this will not hamper our programme for the weekend, ... Other than that, it was a successful Friday practice where we ran through our programme and achieved the results, in terms of speed and consistency, that we had expected going into this weekend.

Penalty kicks are certainly something we've practiced and we've made them in practice. I think the pressure of the moment had something to do with it.

Nah, that had nothing to do with it. I'm not going to comment any further on it. I'm just happy he worked hard and, you know, he had a great practice today. Hopefully we'll build on that.

I'm happy because we wrestled well and ended the season on a positive note heading into the league tournament. Now we have a week off to get back in the practice room and get focused.

Maybe one practice day wasn't quite what we wanted,

Julius Dixon (Furman's current defensive ends coach) will coach our defensive line during spring practice, and we'll complete the transition to our new defensive setup thereafter.

Just about any lawyer in private practice who had a chance to serve in high office would. If they say no, they're kidding. I'm glad of the state experience I'm getting. I've learned a great deal. It's very broadening, this insight into how government works and how people function. What makes it, them, tick. It can only make me a better man, a better lawyer - or a better public servant.

John will be a terrific addition to our organization. Over the past 12 years, John has led and managed a successful media and communications investment banking practice in the U.S. and Europe. Our media and communications business will benefit from his vision, leadership, relationships and proven experience.

I think they're both professionals, they thought they could go and they worked hard in practice and showed in practice they could go, and they went. They'll be better for it.

I think they're getting better and getting confidence. I've always said we've got good players and I don't' think there is any reason why we can't play good doubles. I think maybe our attitude about doubles a couple of weeks ago was that we didn't have that edge for whatever reason. In practice we looked good and got better in a short span. Today you saw how a confident doubles team plays.

I?m sure both of those guys wish they were going to the playoffs and I?m sure they?re disappointed. But I think it?s great for our guys to see how they have handled this. There?s no quit in them. They still are working hard and competing hard, and I think that?s a big reason why we won those six in a row. It starts in practice and in the weight room, and their work habits there are obvious.

I'm still excited about this team. We have a full week of practice with these guys, which helps. I know the kids are going to represent us and play hard.

I'm staying in shape. You never know what can happen. Right now it looks like I might play in Europe if I don't make the practice squad,

I'm so impressed with how Terry runs practice and how the guys are responding. We just have to stay quiet, stay humble and win games. Just go play. We have a very unselfish team.

I think this was a good idea. It allows our pitchers to get their arms ready for scrimmaging when practice starts.

I think this was a good step for him. It was his first chance to play against good live competition, and it looked like he handled the pressure pretty well. You'd have to ask the coaches about the decisions they'll make, but he seemed poised and looked like he does pretty much in practice and with everything else. You're happy to see you got a guy who is pretty much what you expected.

It hasn't been a weight off my shoulders; it's a weight off of (the players' shoulders). To see them play under the pressure they had played under, and now to see them having fun and enjoy practice and enjoy the game, that has been a treat for me to see.

It hasn't sunk in yet. It will when I don't have to go to practice.

I think I've been playing a lot because I'm working hard in practice and the coaches noticed.

I think (Marion's) best match so far has been in the practice room. So it's been good for all of them.

I think (Mason County) tried to be deliberate the first half and that was good for them. When you are playing at home, you want to control the tempo. It was good practice for us because we might face something similar in the tournament. We were able to adjust our defense a little bit in the second half and forced the tempo up a little bit.

I think just being able to practice and perform together has helped us these past few weeks.

It definitely helped us to be in those types of games. We learned to execute and learned how to give ourselves a chance to win. Sometimes you can practice all that, but you need the experience of doing it. We have been in three overtime games this year and won them all, so that bodes well for us.

It didn't surprise me to be honest. I've seen him shoot that same shot in practice.

I think this team has set a standard for themselves both in practice and in games to be the very best we can be every day we step onto the field. I think it's a true testament to the senior class and it's certainly a credit to how they've prepared and approached every day since they walked onto this campus.

Me, I'm feeling fine. Honestly, I'm feeling fine. I know I'll be out there on Sunday, and I don't plan on missing a beat. I was in tune with practice today. It was like a mental day for me.

I might try one, ... Just in practice. You know, I've always considered it. I've just never taken it to the next step. Never committed to it.

It definitely was a setback, but you've got to play through whatever happens. I was out of practice for like a week-and-a-half. I got out of shape in that week-and-a-half. It's just a lot of little things.

It all depends on how you practice. Chris didn't have a bad practice today, but I thought Daniel had a very good practice. Chris is a great on-ball defender, but Daniel is probably a more complete defender.

It all gets back to how we practice. There's a definite emphasis (in practice) to playing every game to win.

I think for two of the events we had 45 minutes of practice was all. That's kind of asking a lot for a new team like that, to just go and unload and be good off the truck.

I thought it would be a lot tougher. Once they showed us the right way to do it, it wasn't too hard. I still need some practice though.

I thought Matt was very courageous today. He didn't practice all week and he didn't participate in shoot-around for more than 15 minutes, but he came in and gave us a lift.

I was just going up there relaxed, do what I practice so much. So I was pretty confident.

I went to practice (one Wednesday) and I could jump and elevate. I knew I was back. I was feeling no pain at all.

I think that it's important that if you don't do something well in practice, you go out and do it (again) so you feel confident in anything you do.

I think some people get caught up too much in the expectations of other people. You can never let the expectations of other people overrule yours, because you are the one who is there at practice every day and you, as a coach, are the person who truly has an insight to how the team is progressing. The key is to set goals and work on reaching them and be sure that the goals you are trying to achieve are the ones that you set and not the ones that other people may have set.

Job shows us every day in practice that he can make his free throws. He's a freshman but we have confidence in him when he goes to the line.

Josh had surgery back in late September and at this point his pain levels are just unacceptable, just too much to handle. He has constant throbbing during every practice and every game, he's very sore every day and the next morning he's obviously very stiff. And it's not getting better.

Jocelyn had been playing in the middle, but we moved her to the outside in practice and all of a sudden things started to click and she's been putting the kills down.

Jody has played in a practice match and has improved,

It is clear that if British lawyers resident in the U.K. cannot join the California Bar, they are more likely to direct clients to parts of the U.S. with which they are familiar -- that is, where they have been admitted to practice (e.g., New York, Virginia, Washington state or Oregon),

I think the American intelligence agency put into practice what is very common there; just give us all the information. And do not arrest that man; just let him go ahead. We will have him followed and that way gain more information,

I think the American intelligence agency put into practice what is very common there; just give us all the information. And do not arrest that man; just let him go ahead. We will have him followed and that way gain more information,

I think the best thing about how we played the past six games was that we gave a very solid overall effort. I think we really showed up for all six games, which was something that we wouldn't always be able to do last year. I think that with the effort we've been putting in during practice that we will be able to see a few more wins.

I think the big key was after a while they settled down, they felt a lot more comfortable in what we were doing. Defensively, we had a good week of practice and I thought the kids did a good job.

I think the break helped. We had a few distractions and we weren't playing as well as we could. We needed to regroup and we did that. We had a great week of practice and we had a good game against Dallas. But it doesn't get any easier against Detroit.

I think the break really helped us. We were on a losing streak going into the break and it was good timing for us to get away from the game. We had a great week of practice and I don't think there was doubt in anyone's mind that we were going to play well tonight.
