Practice Quotations | Page 15

I think (the Canadians') forwards are better than their defense. They don't have to practice much defense.

I think the Ford Fusion is great. I like the way it drives. I've been very happy with the way my car feels in the racetrack. I like the new Fusion body. I can't wait to get it some drafting practice to see the full effects of it.

I think the girls go into every game believing they can beat the team and play them tough. For many games we've been playing that way and it's discouraging to come up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. Then at the same time at practice these guys are working on things and staying committed.

It is my practice that if a person is identified as a potential target witness or suspect, that unless I have some assurance in some way the government is not in any way attempt to prosecute them, then I instruct them they have a privilege under the Fifth Amendment not to give testimony.

It is important that businesses buying or selling customer databases are aware of their data protection obligations. This good practice note will help businesses understand what they need to do to ensure that personal information on the databases is sufficiently protected.

It is hard when he is not able to practice. Even though there is that chemistry there, it is still tough. Having him back, and really having the whole team back, was great.

It is highly desirable that policy practice be formalized to the maximum possible extent,

Lawmakers say that if the Hutton inquiry finds the government guilty of sharp practice in helping the media identify Dr. Kelly, then the beleaguered Hoon may have to fall on his sword.

Laura really did well and it's a good way for her to end her senior year. She had a lot of injury problems and was really not able to practice a whole lot. It was nice to see her overcome that and have a strong state.

Last year I missed a free throw in a game against East. Just one, but we were down by two. So every single game now, I practice my free throws. I shot about 100 free throws this morning so just in case a situation like that came up in this game, I could knock them down.

Last year I mostly only pitched bullpens and batting practice. I went into the season without pitching in a big league game. But I was feeling great. So we're trying to keep the same routine here.

Last year my legs were hurting a lot, because we had to practice every play, every day. This year, we've got people that can come in and sub for us.

Last year obviously helped us and more than just the game. A game is a game. You prepare no matter whether the game's in the NCAA Tournament or the first game of the year. You really approach it the same way, at least we do. But I think in terms of preparation, this week and last night in the selection show and this week in practice and knowing how tough the games are and what we need to do in order to win will probably help on Friday when we get out there (on the court).

Last year our role was to practice against those players, and I always knew that that was my role. All the newspapers said that we lost Julian and we lost some other guys and we had no talent. But we always knew we could get here.

Like most Europeans do, he shoots those 15-footers all the time. He stays after practice and keeps shooting it. Seemed all that practice after games paid off.

I think we would really like to build on this. We've got a bunch of guys coming back. You know the one thing you want to do? I want to practice as long as I can with this team. ... Selfishly just from that standpoint, I want to keep extending the season so we can keep coming back on the court and talk basketball as a group as much as possible.

It is an ancient practice that many of us don't think has a place in the modern world.

It is a sad day for hockey. It is a historic day, actually, ... He was one of the greatest pure goal scorers of all-time. He helped me a lot when I went to St. Louis, when I was about 21-years-old. He helped me get to another level just watching him in practice and learning from him in games.

I think (the week off) has helped a lot. I saw it in practice yesterday, I saw a lot more bouncy and livelier legs and guys were able to go longer and harder. I heard a couple of guys say they felt good to be on the floor after we gave them some time off and I think it really helped.

I think these kids got it now. I think they have really gotten the concept on defense; the offense has been good, but not consistent all year long, and I think they got it this week. It's what happens with kids, and it's what happens with good teams that practice hard. Sooner or later, they absorb what you're trying to teach them, and instead of doing what you tell them, they do what they know how to do.

I think the seniors will be key this year and they have to step up and be leaders. Most of our young guys are followers and they are good team guys. If the first practice was any indication, this team is going to have great chemistry. And liking each other can go a long way.

I think there's more of a sense of urgency. We saw it in practice on Tuesday.

I think there is ample evidence that both police and other security forces have been and are continuing to systematically practice torture, in particular against dissidents or people who are opponents of the regime.

I think there is an important policy message here. Providing free HIV tests increases the number of clients presenting for evaluation and makes HIV prevention more cost-effective. We changed our practice because of these results.

I think there's a lot of guys out there making plays (in practice). And there's some that we need to bring along that are going to be the guys we go to next (season).

It is also plausible that those movements with the greatest inner contradiction between profession and practice-that is to say with a strong feeling of guilt-are likely to be the most fervent in imposing their faith on others

I think after the first two games we collectively thought that it would all be that smooth and I think last weekend showed us that having good players doesn't mean you'll win everything. This week has been our hardest week so far of practice and we are definitely ready for Seton Hall.

I think being at home and being comfortable makes a big difference. Not having to find a place to practice . . . There's so many things to deal with logistically when you're traveling, that this just makes it better for us.

I think being on the field and in the meetings is a time that's away from all that. It's good for your mind to get on the field and practice and be where you're with your peers.

Resistance is a legitimate right that we will practice and protect. Our presence in the legislature will strengthen the resistance. If people raised the issue of targeting civilians, we said and we say that when our enemy stops targeting civilians we will abide by that.

Continuous measurement and evaluation of marketing channels such as television, radio, internet and print and in-store promotions is either in practice or under consideration at a number of leading restaurant chains.

Roberts has attracted broad, bipartisan support for his fairness, keen intellect, open-mindedness, and judicious practice of the law, ... He is highly regarded and well respected by the legal and business communities.

Risk initiatives require active cooperation among the business line heads who will ultimately benefit from risk done right, the IT department that implements it, and the key executives who identify the institution's risk appetites and policies. Best practice risk management cannot be implemented without the involvement of all three.

Our practice is really structured this year. So, we'll have a time for hitting and a time for fielding.

Our practice is to not move material that is known to be offensive.

Our practice is to not move material that is known to be offensive - not just the photographs under discussion now, but images of graphic genitalia, extreme close-ups of body parts, images showing offensive language, etc..

Our practice tempo was probably a little different than what we've seen.

Our preparation and consistency in practice has led to success in games. It's taken three years for the team to find that consistent level, and right now they have it.

Out of the fullness of this presence of mind, disturbed by no ulterior motive, the artist who is released from all attachment must practice his art.

Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district.

Our works were acquired in a legal way according to the practice at the time. Today, the situation is quite different. The finds evidently now stay in the countries. The issue today relates to the acquisition of new pieces.

Our trust and estate practice has always been a strong suit for us. These additions will be very beneficial and will add significantly to our bottom line.

Our understanding of the best practice in monetary policy evolved during Alan Greenspan's tenure at the Fed, and it will continue to evolve in the future,

Our vision is to make our products indispensable to all physicians, from independent practitioners to the largest physician practice groups, academic medical centers and specialty groups, and today we are taking two significant strategic steps towards that goal.

Our running back is, I think, pretty good. When I saw him at our meeting today, he said he feels good, he's fine, and unless something happens, I'm assuming he'll be ready to practice on Wednesday.

Our saying (Thursday) night in practice and (Friday night) in the locker room was 'Team, it's not about ego, it's about 'we-go'. Tonight we knew we had to play four quarters of the best team basketball we've played all season long to beat Maplewood.

Our strength is probably our leadership. Our seniors and juniors all take the sport pretty seriously and that has created an environment at practice that is both positive and productive.

Our team has been putting the pedal to the metal in practice on the beam. And it's not just the competitors, but the entire squad. We're happy with the way we performed and are looking forward to next week.

Our team is way too good to be having two or three errors in a game. We should have just three or four for an entire tournament. Our goal is always to play errorless softball and I'm hoping that the things we did this week in practice will make that happen.

Our second team in practice has really been working hard. They have battled the starters like it is a game and that has helped us get on this streak.

Our research team has been working on methods and point-of-care devices that could allow saliva to be used as a diagnostic fluid. This could impact the practice of dentistry and medicine in the very near future, as healthcare practitioners use saliva, possibly instead of blood, to diagnose and monitor oral and systemic health.

Other than the ice-cold weather we're doing fine. We had a practice on Tuesday with a 20 mile-per-hour wind out of the north and with the wind chill it was about 10. It wasn't a good day to be a quarterback or a receiver.

Our combined solution will free doctors to practice medicine rather than IT.

Our combined solution will free doctors to practice medicine rather than IT. Instead of requiring clinicians to navigate in and out of applications to find relevant patient data, our combined platform enables clinicians to sign in once, select a patient once and have the patient's aggregated data presented to them automatically.

Our captains did a great job of setting an example for our younger kids. They could have easily letdown, but they really embraced their role as leaders and came to practice ready to work hard and improve.

Our boys played hard. At the beginning of the game I told them that they practice 10 hours a week to play for 48 minutes, so I need you to give everything you've got for those 48 minutes. In the first half, they gave me everything they had for those first 24. It was just a great effort defensively. Offensively, we moved the ball up and down the field on them. But then mental mistakes put us in a bad position at times. It was definitely a major step forward over last week's Manteo game.

Our first focus is on whether we're getting defensive intensity. Mt. Vernon was probably the best game we've played this year. We got beat by six but held a quality opponent to 35 points on their home floor. But in terms of development our offense is behind the defense so that's why we spent 90 minutes of our Sunday practice working on nothing but offense.

Our girls have been doing a good job of getting themselves mentally ready to play the last couple of days. We've had some time in January to work some things out in practice . . . and I think that's really helped us with our timing, not only on offense, but on defense.

Our goal all year was to get back. Our seniors set it in their mind that we were going back no matter what we had to do. We executed what we worked on all week in practice and we beat a great basketball team. We made up our minds what we were going to do and we did it.

Our goal is not to put anyone out of business, ... We believe best practice is do not drink and drive.

Our goal is to be better next week than we were this week. We have six kids in the top three that have a shot to place down there. Next tournament is a clean slate. It's all been basically practice to get here. If we can put it all together for one tournament, anything can happen.

Our goal is to get better every practice and game. We're in a good spot right now but we want to continue to improve.

Our focus the last two or three days in practice has been stopping people. That's all we talked about coming in. We wanted to be able to defend and I thought we defended as well as we could in the first half.

I think he should be ready to go. He looked better last week in practice and the word I got last week was that he should be fine. He should be ready this week.

I think he's in the best shape of his life. He's finishing much better than earlier in the season. I thought, as well as he scored and rebounded, his defense was 100 times better than it was at Michigan. He got a real film session lesson (Friday) before practice on what he had to do. To his credit, he came out and took care of business.

I think I'll know more after today. It's the first time I'm on the field with batting practice and taking grounders and fly balls. We'll see how it responds.

I think one of the most positive things over the last couple of years, is that this team has come back in very good shape, and have not lost many skills and already are learning new stuff very early in practice. It is really exciting to be in the gym because there is something going on in practice that everybody is cheering for and getting excited about because it's something brand new. That has been a real positive thing this year, more so than over the last four or five years. Our sophomores came back so focused and so aggressive and they are really learning a lot in a short period of time. I truly think we have the potential to be good on all four events.

I think everybody respects them, and they know it's going to be a different game than last time. I don't think it's a trap game. I did mention to the guys in practice that they can't start feeling too good about themselves.

I think everybody's working harder in practice. Everybody's hitting harder, they're trying to get ready for Manning. Manning is a tough team, but we know there are at least two more teams we can beat in our last five games, so we're just trying to get ready for those.

I think practice preparation is always an indicator of game performance - not necessarily 100 percent, because there are still a lot of variables there, but it?s still an indicator,

I was happy with my role the last couple of years. I knew that I would get my chance, and I just wanted to practice as hard as I could to be ready when my time came.

I was throwing during practice and I'm feeling good. I feel a little sore, a little tight. But the treatment I got helped a lot.

I was told about the world record when I came back to the dressing room. Tomorrow will be another practice day for the batsmen because it will be a drawn match.

I was very encouraged with how we played today. That was our best balance of the season. We had all five guys within three strokes. I think all of our practice is paying off. This was our best total effort of the season.

I was very nervous about my shot. I didn't feel good. I didn't practice for like five days. I'm not usually doing that. So on the off-day I came in to shoot.

I was totally blindsided, ... I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards. I love playing here. I probably had the best practice week I've ever had in lead-up. You kind of feel it and you hope for something good. I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.

I was very pleased tonight to get in those players who've worked very hard in practice and deserved to play. We played them all and they played well.

I think if they maintain their focus and practice regularly they have a good shot at going to the finals.

I was very pleased with our performance. We were very successful from a team standpoint. We have made significant progress in practice and it showed up at Wisconsin.

I was very surprised, because three months earlier our doctors passed me in the physical in order for me to sign my contract. I haven't missed a game or practice due to any injury since 2002. So I don't think anything's wrong with my bone structure, knees, joints or ankles. They just said I didn't pass the physical and rescinded the trade. But I feel fine.

I was thinking about (being benched) and how tough it was, ... I was doing anything I could in practice to get back in there. Being the second guy again and all those feelings of anger that built up in me ... I used that as my focus.

I worked at IBM a long time, and I think it was 1974 that I was working in their general practice division in Colorado. The head of the general practice division said to us in an all-hands meeting there that IBM believes that tape is dead and (that) we should be getting out of tape.

I won't practice any harder just because I might get more playing time. It kind of gets you excited, but I approach the week as business as usual. You never know what's going to happen in this game, so I always prepare myself.

I wish sir, you would practice this without me. I can't stay dying here all night

I won't be able to play right away, but I'm expecting to get the clearance. Then, I'll be able to give it a good test in practice and I'll be back for the playoffs.

I will tell you that he always brings a standard to the practice field and the game field. He has always been extremely professional in those areas and obviously extremely productive. That is all you can ask for the guy to do. On the little bit he has played in the preseason, he is ready to go. He's been in big games before and he is going to his hometown, but I think you have a pretty good idea of what he will do.

I will try my best to win again, for the Asian Tour. I came here before the new year to practice and the course was playing easy. But when I came here on Monday, it looked different. The rough was very thick and I think it'll be very challenging, especially if you miss the fairway.

It feels great. Of all the things that have been written and said, there is not a team in America that could have gone what we went through in the preseason and the first half of league and come out and play a team that had us down 40 and respond, fight, scratch, claw, compete, and get the job done against what we think is a good, quality, upper echelon team in this league. That's why it's the biggest win I've been a part of. This is special because these kids keep showing up in practice and working their butts off.

It focuses on attention to detail, developing of practice and exploring our unique voices.

I think I gave the team a chance to win both games. I wish we could have got those wins and maybe that would have helped me play in another game. I'm trying to do my best to learn the team, how they play and how they respond in front of me. I'm trying to do so much more in practice to pick that up. I stay in at the end and take more shots to get my sharpness up.

I was extremely pleased with the way that we played in our matches. It was nice to see that the things we have been emphasizing in practice were put into play during the matches. It's always nice to come away with some victories during the spring, but it was more important for us to see that we were progressing and improving as a team.

I was glad to be back. It felt great to be with the team today. I missed the last two days for personal reasons. I look forward to working hard in practice and contributing to this team.

I was happy that guys got a chance to play. I think that's an opportunity for those guys who work really hard in practice and don't get as many opportunities to play.

I was happy when he gave me a little eight-inch (putt) at the last. He said, 'That's good,' and I went, 'Thank God.' I was kind of thinking if I won today, I'd probably practice a little bit, but I think I already did.

I think she cracked her bridge up there. We hope to have her back for next week. She was at practice yesterday, and we let her shoot a little bit. She got hit a couple of games ago in the mouth. She's a big part of our team. She's our leading scorer right now, and we've got to have her back.
