Practice Quotations | Page 8

We need to make sure doctors can afford to practice medicine here and of course recruitment activities (need to be in place) so health care is more available to people.

We're shortening the competitive segments in practice to try to keep an edge, but at the same time try to avoid an injury.

We're going home to practice and play a lot of home games. We can make a lot of progress between now and the Pac-10 tournament.

I'm trying to practice owning less stuff.

much more comes out on how common the practice was.

Monday, it's back to business. Time to work. They come here every single day and practice hard. We practice like we play, and it shows.

She's a hard worker. It's definitely hard to battle her in practice. She brings a lot to the team. When she shows what she can do, she'll be a good player.

Sitting and concentrating the mind on a single object, controlling the thoughts and the activities of the senses, let the yogi practice meditation for self-purification.

My main goal is to maintain a club year after year. It's a healthy environment for kids and helps build self-confidence. Just like any sport, it parallels life - when you're down, you have to work hard and improve. Most people don't realize the amount of stamina it takes to box. It takes a rare kid to keep showing up practice after practice. I won't let them come in with the attitude that 'I'm going to beat someone up.' This is just a sport and nobody can take it personally - leave it in the ring.

Me and coach sat down and watched some film to see what I was doing wrong. I wasn't squaring my body up a lot of times. I've been doing that the last couple days in practice and it's paid off.

Me and Sean took it upon ourselves to play better after we let two get away from us. We worked hard in practice this week; this win was important for us because it will help our confidence.

Me and Tony Banks, we joke around a lot. In practice and even on scout teams last year, we'd hook up a lot with passes like that. Afterward I just said to him, 'It's about time we got one in a game. Show people what we can do.' It was good.

Medical Protective made a commitment to Texas policyholders, legislators and regulators that we would closely monitor the impact of tort reforms passed in 2003. We are pleased that the emerging data continues to suggest a moderating trend in loss costs and that we are, therefore, in a position to reduce our Texas rates again. We are also pleased to confirm that last year's acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway has helped us attain the industry's highest financial rating, allowed us to expand our underwriting appetite to additional practice specialties that meet our underwriting criteria, and provided us with the capital to open the door for even more Texas healthcare providers who desire the strongest carrier.

Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Mike still needs more balls, more catches, more hits. You don't get hit at all in practice and he hasn't gotten hit much in games. You've got to get used to the bumps and bruises on your wrists, your legs.

Matt sets a great example with the way he comes to practice every day and plays through pain. It's to the point now that he can barely walk after games. We're all amazed and impressed by his dedication and determination.

Matt Willis has had more practice time, and he's the one that will be in that position.

Since the Syracuse game, every practice we're talking about going hard for 40 minutes and the full 35 seconds on the shot clock. That's definitely been a point of emphasis.

She doesn't miss practice. She stays late and does everything that's asked of her.

She has a friendly, outgoing personality and the girls always get along with her, but they know if they're running against her in practice they'll have to push themselves a little harder.

She has not been able to practice very much because of that and I think that hurt our ball handing a little tonight too. When she can't go, we are awfully young on the court with our guards, and teams will take advantage of that and press. Hopefully, she will be feeling better tomorrow.

She moved the ball around pretty well. We had done some target training in practice. She hit the target today and made that girl move.

She is so confident around the green. If anybody has been out to Prairie Vista, you've probably seen her because I think she spends half of her summer out there. She's the type of player who is here before practice putting and chipping.

She really put us on her back tonight. She was there when we were having inconsistencies. We've been having some inconsistencies in practice and that's been reflected in our game.

She is extremely competitive. Whether it be in practice, an exhibition game, or a NCAA tournament game, she always brings the same everyday.

She outshines everybody else. After two months of practice and one-and-a-half months of games, she was noticed by the West Chester coach and she was picked to up to U-19 trials. That's the best of all.

She's actually doing more than anyone else out there. We don't even have enough time in practice for her to do everything she'll have to do in the games.

She's a game-day player, she's a hard worker at practice too. A lot of people respect her because she gives 110 percent and never slows down.

She's a good shooter, a good foul shooter, too. She has a nice touch, and she can hit the boards. We worked with her on her inside game this year, and when she started doing the right things in practice then I started playing her more.

She does all the little things for us that need to get done. I think her ankle was a factor in some of the shots she took (Friday). As every day goes by, she'll get to practice more and more and get a little stronger. With (WIAA) playoffs rolling around, we hope to get her close to 100 percent.

She has always been my role model in gymnastics, and every time at practice when she was doing some tumbling or something, I was always afraid she was going to get hurt again. Because of what she went through (an ACL injury, to name one), I think it makes me try extra hard. A lot of what I was doing was for her.

She has come a long way. She's just a natural athlete. There's things she can do with the ball in practice that still amaze me.

She has continually asked us to reflect on our practice and to focus our time and energy on the achievement of our students.

She certainly has an impressive professional background, from her time on the Superior Court bench in Connecticut to private practice and corporate practice.

She comes every day to practice and works real hard. She's a great kid. She gets a lot of offensive rebounds and she's been learning the post moves. She's come a long way. She just fights for everything she gets. She's really a hustler. She's certainly been the backbone offensively along with Jess Donovan.

She comes to practice everyday and works extremely hard. She understands her role and she's accepted it very well over the years. She doesn't play a lot of minutes, but she wants to make an impact and she has.

She deserves it. When you look at her stat line, she plays close to 32 minutes a game. She's an outstanding practice player. She had some opportunities, she got some good looks, and it's the confidence hopefully that's going to get her moving.

She calls me almost every single day and asks how practice was. She leaves me long messages before a meet. Oh yes, she will be there on Friday and Saturday.

She calms us down and leads us in practice. She came up big. She's been around and I expect a lot from her.

She can do it in practice it's just a matter of doing it in the meet. And when that happens, all of a sudden she'll go 13-8.

We had been waiting for the power. We showed it in practice and the power came through today.

We had been working a little on that in practice. We talked about it the shift before we went on. We made an adjustment or two and they were a little aggressive, so we thought we would catch them off-guard. Clark snuck down there and snuck one past them.

If the practice persists of covering government deficits with the issue of notes, then the day will come without fail, sooner or later, when the monetary systems of those nations pursuing this course will break down completely. The purchasing power of the monetary unit will decline more and more, until finally it disappears completely.

When he hit that ball, it was a batting-practice fastball over the plate and he hit it on the screws. It went to the furthest part of the park.

Make sure we keep our focus, make sure we practice hard all week, and sleep well when we do have our off days.

Luke's favorite practice is the one where they didn't have Abby here because he got to take a leadership role. It was fun because they got to lead one another and develop teaching skills as well.

Scott is a very important addition to our group, giving us added abilities in litigation and added experience in land use and real estate. We have tremendous opportunities for growth in the land use area in California. Scott's practice is statewide and really quite extraordinary.

Sharon's Management has helped take our market research and analysis practice to a national level. We're excited to have her as a Principal in our firm.

Many around the world are enduring these hardships simply because they practice their faith. They endure mostly in silence and away from the public spotlight and with little hope for a brighter tomorrow,

So, it's back to practice for us on Monday. The thing I like is that we have three weeks to get things sorted out before sectional. We saw what we need to work on. Now, we just have to focus on it.

Selfishly you want to play that match just to get some form. But the good news is I have another one tomorrow so I'm going to go over and try and get some practice at Melbourne Park.

Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They're all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.

She had a really great week of practice building up to this, so I expect her to play her game. I don't think she'll be nervous.

She had asked for a DVD in which her steps were recorded, to be sent to Rio where she was shooting. After pack-up, she used to return to her suite and practice her steps.

Shoot, I couldn't even stand there, ... The ball was up around my waist ... . I don't practice that shot very often.

Shoot, I couldn't even stand there. The ball was up around my waist ... . I don't practice that shot very often.

Sean probably won't practice for two days. We're going to try to nurse him and get him ready to go for Thursday. We felt this was important to try to go with him, and he fought. When he went out of the game, we couldn't get a four man to try to run our offense. And if you don't run your offense, you're not going to beat a team as good as Midland.

Seth Burris showed the kind of shooter he is. We see that in practice a lot, and I'm awfully proud of him.

O Nanak, chant the Name of God, with heart-felt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show, and the practice of false deeds.

She?s definitely frustrated about not being able to play as many minutes in practice and in games as she would like to, but I think she?s handling it really well. As long as she just stays positive, like she is, and does as much as she can, that?s all we can ask for. Right now, we?re just going by how she feels day to day and hoping that her knee feels good for the end of the year.

She's one of our most versatile swimmers. She works very hard in practice and the hard work she does has resulted in some good swimming. She did OK up until she was 12; then she got really good when she was 13.

She's one of the most exciting players you'll ever watch. What makes it tough is you have to spend so much time figuring out ways in practice to try to slow her down.

She's one of the ones in practice who always steps up and makes free throws. She's clutch.

She tired. It's been a long process. They practice from early in the morning to late at night.

She wants to get better. You walk into our gym before practice starts, you'll always find Jess at a basket working on her strengths and weaknesses. She starts every day with a routine that allows her to maintain her excellence.

She was a great practice player and was on the scout team a lot.

She's averaged 22 points a game over four years. From her first game as a freshman through her last games as a senior she's averaged over 20 points a game. She's a great practice player and really understands the game.

She was good. The mare wasn't really ready to go in the WEF Challenge two days ago, so I thought this would be a nice practice round for her today. She jumped really well in the first round and even better in the jump-off.

She was icing her left ankle; that's all I know right now. We'll see how she is in practice on Sunday.

She still comes to practice. She works out with the throwers. They do things she can do without hurting her knee. We'd love to see doctors OK her to at least throw the shot put. But we miss her in long jump and the relays. I've got no assistant coaches, so she's kind of my volunteer assistant.

She was more excited last night (than Tuesday) at practice because she got to walk on the floor.

She's one of those kids that goes along in practice and does everything you ask her to do.

She's one of those kids that will always be in my heart. She is one of those players that made me as a coach want to come to practice every day and give her my very best. I told her, by the time the season was over, I was totally exhausted because I felt she had, in a good way, sucked everything out that I could give her as a person and as a player.

She spent a lot of her own time working individually on her skills, her footwork, getting to the basket. In practice this year she put time in on defense and skills that she knew weren't as strong.

She spent the whole weekend out here practicing, ... I've never seen anyone practice as diligently. She's going at it and really focused, not missing a beat, getting ready for Samsung.

She sets an example in practice with her hard work, and just getting herself prepared every time she plays.

She's got a pretty mean stare on her. She's got big shoulders, she's strong, and she doesn't take any crap on the court. She was not the person I wanted to be guarding in practice my freshman year. I was intimidated by her.

She's been a great benefit not only on the sidelines, but at practice she works hard. She gets the sneakers on and battles Jessica (Laing).

She's had a little bit of street ball in her. She played with the (boys). What she was practicing in practice wasn't the fundamentals we were teaching.

She shoots the ball well from outside and practices it a lot. She hits those consistently in practice.

She's pretty hard on us. She's getting us in shape. We do the same things in practice she does (in the WNBA).

She's putting all of her efforts right now in academics. Everything is into academics. She won't practice with us right now for a little while because everything is academic-oriented. She has a complete understanding of that and we want her back on the court.

The primary goal of the choir is to rekindle interest in the language, ... The kids are interested in the Cherokee language and when we go on trips, we use a glossary of words that are in the songs and practice using them while we travel.

Practice, work hard and give it everything you've got.

I am not afraid to stop the puck with my head. I try to do it sometimes even in practice; not everyday but once in a while, I say to my teammates, shoot me in my head and I'll try to stop the puck. I am not afraid at all of the puck, so sometimes, if the shot comes at my head, it's an easier save to make with your head. Maybe the people think a different way, but for me, I do it with my head.

Jazz Improvisation means that practice is not as straightforward as it would be when you simply have a score to play.

We were brought here for a reason, and that's to be physical, run fast and get to the ball. We have some great guys who came in here and are going to help us out this year. As long as we continue to move forward, practice hard and work together, we'll be good.

What I can expect is that Great Britain & Ireland, with six veterans, will be ready to play. Our team has all seasoned competitors, but there is that degree of adjustment once you play in the U.K. that may be the difference in how the Matches go. I have made it my duty to try to prepare those who have not played before in the U.K. and make the most use of our practice rounds. My job is not to motivate, but rather to help find those who want to play together and encourage all to play as a team.

Visualizing the movement finally got me over the top after months of practice.

School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so why practice?

We've never been afraid to change our lineup for the Air Force game. When practice is over after two days, I'll go, 'These eight guys have the best grasp of what we have to do.' It'll be hard not to (change) because Ross and Ike have played well, but I don't know. I can't answer that right now.

When things aren't going well, you do want to tweak things. You want to change practice and change your routine. The change of scenery, the field, the facility, that could be a positive.

To practice magic is to be a quack; to know magic is to be a sage.

To think is to practice brain chemistry.

I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

If you approach a difficult problem without struggle, your ego will at first try to take charge from years of habit. Do the minimum and stand back. Solutions incubate at a deep level, not at the speed demanded by your mind. Take a break and come back the next day. Allow the answers to arise from your center, even if it takes a while. However much you have to retrain yourself in this practice of Least Effort, the ability to come from your center is worth the highest price anyone could pay.

Earlier in this century, the Heisenberg Principle established that the very act of observing a natural phenomenon can change what is being observed. Although the initial theory was limited in practice to special cases in subatomic physics, the philosophical implications were and are staggering.

The crash of 2008 was driven in no small part by unfair practices in the mortgage industry, which led to many consumers becoming trapped in loans they didn't understand and couldn't afford.

Being content is perhaps no less easy than playing the violin well: and requires no less practice.

The problem isn't so much finding good ideas (there is no shortage) as embedding the ones we have into everyday practice.
