Practicing Quotations | Page 2

I look forward to serving the community and getting out there and practicing community policing.

I also lose interest if I have to go over and over and over again because it looks to me if you're practicing - it becomes artificial.

He was just never a kickoff guy in terms of getting out there and practicing all the time. But you'd watch him kick a 55-yard field goal. He could just boom them.

We make ourselves tougher to defend when we move the ball inside out and get more balance like this. This team keeps practicing hard every day, so we hope to play our best here at the end of the season.

He kept his composure. He got us practicing a day or two afterwards because he knew we needed it. He wanted us to be together.

He was serving big. I don't think he missed many forehands and his backhand was more solid than I'd expected after practicing with him a lot in December. He played a great set.

He was telling me I was practicing good all week and moving good, but he was telling me he doesn't know at this point,

I am going to be doing some practicing on Thursday and Friday and we run some qualifying heats on Saturday, ... I've wanted to do this for a while. I wanted to have a good car when we did it. I think we've got a good car.

If we aren't practicing now we're going to be in trouble in April.

He did a good job. I didn't want to see his back go out but I thought he did well for only practicing for a week.

He had an MRI and it showed nothing, so I think he'll be fine for Sunday. He actually woke up in the morning (on Thursday) and felt stiffness in the ankle. It might have had to do with practicing on a surface here he wasn't used to.

Going to work around 8:00am at the body shop. After work it's either weight training or practicing afterwards.

When they practice, our new kids are practicing with some of the best kids in the state of Ohio. Those people get on them and encourage them. It's a badge of honor to run in the front with a group like that.

He's been practicing and he's in school, but I'm not sure what his status is going to be.

He's been practicing hard, too. I really don't want to mention it, but wouldn't it be nice if ...

He's been practicing the same plays, the same game plan, through those first five weeks that we were doing with Matt. We're going to just continue to go the way that we have been going. He can do the things we want in the running game and he can do the things we want in the passing game. Now we've just got to go and practice those things and let him do what we feel he can do the best.

He loves the game. He loves practicing and he's a fun guy to be around. He brings a lot of energy when he comes to the rink. You can see that he enjoys it.

He gave us good energy. He's really been practicing well and he's starting to understand what we're doing.

He has rehabbed very well so far and if it continues the way it's going we're anticipating maybe practicing in the next four to five weeks with the team. And then we're probably still two or three months away from him playing. But we're just moving along and we're handling the hockey side of it. So far to date, his rehab has gone very well.

He doesn't leave any detail uncovered, so when you play a game, you feel confident and comfortable with any situation. He knows that winning teams just react on the field, instead of thinking, because of practicing things over and over and over.

We're practicing a lot harder. The kids know what they need to do to get the job done.

Joe was great tonight. He did things tonight he's been practicing all year. Come heck or high water, he was going to make it (to the regional tournament) again.

Jordan's been practicing with us since January, so he knows how to run our offense, and he's been getting better every night. We knew this last two to three weeks that he was ready. As far as basketball maturity goes, he's well beyond his years. He's a pretty cool customer.

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.

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.

Sure. I expect it to be ongoing. I guess we could take two approaches which is, make it simple, or we can keep trying to build the way we want to play and get the players to continue practicing it and develop confidence in it and kind of go from there.

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.

I see a lot of other guys who haven't played at all, just practicing and sitting on the bench during games. Getting that experience down there made me a better player. Of course, everybody wants to be up here in the NBA, but you have to look hard at your future. That will help me in the long run.

I saw it on the scoreboard. I didn't have a lot of time to think about it because I was managing the last two innings. Tomorrow is the big day to make plans. He's been practicing and running around. That's good enough for me, of course.

I will definitely be happy just being able to play (in the Open), ... Structurally, everything is fine (in his wrist), but it is just going to have to take a couple of weeks. I am down from where I was this week practicing. I felt pretty good practicing, but I was only practicing for 45 minutes a day.

I will definitely be happy just being able to play (in the Open). Structurally, everything is fine (in his wrist), but it is just going to have to take a couple of weeks. I am down from where I was this week practicing. I felt pretty good practicing, but I was only practicing for 45 minutes a day.

I was a little surprised we came out so slow because we've been practicing so well.

I thought we were fairly sharp. We haven't been practicing too much this week because we've been resting...This bodes well for Indian Wells.

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 respect the talent that he has. Whether he and I have the same outlook on things is different. Who knows what's right or wrong? I'm here as part of Team USA and that's what I'm going to do, whether it's the team pursuit or practicing with everybody. I'm trying to create positive vibe so we can come out and represent out country the best we can.

Jane is slowly coming back. She is trying to get her legs back under her. When you have mono, it makes you real tired. Jane just began practicing last week, and we are slowly working her back in.

Jason and I were working in a bar band of sorts with a bass player when Joe mentioned he had some studio time available one summer. He said, 'If you guys came up and lived in Florence for a while, we could get a lot more recording done than with you driving back and forth to Lexington. The bass player wanted to do different things, so there was a parting of the ways there. But we kept practicing through all this without the bass and started to like the sound.

Our kids were pretty impressive tonight. It's not about your opponent. It's all about you and how you play. That's what we tried to focus on. It's been awhile since we played. The kids have been practicing well and it showed out there on the court.

I think Maggie sees the game differently now and is practicing differently, which is leading to great potential for her to be a starter for us.

I think John Logan is practicing his tail off. John Logan is practicing as good as anybody out here right now. He knows what to do now, and looks more comfortable in the offense. I'm excited about him.

I might have been just as happy to have been a practicing primary-care doctor. But as a medical student, I had interacted with patients suffering from neurodegeneration or acute clinical schizophrenia. It left an indelible mark on my memory.

I still think that we're in good shape physically and mentally. We've just been practicing a lot at night, because that's when we'll play most of our games.

I was just glad to see him practicing and running around out there. I think everyone was.

It is his right, and he has been practicing that right.

I think there's definitely something to be said for momentum. Traditionally our starts to the season have been very tough, but it's hard, especially when you're going down south and playing teams that have been practicing in 60 degree weather. It's definitely a challenge, but I think it's a good challenge.

I think anytime you get all the groups together, practicing and doing the thing, residents have to feel good that we are doing the best at what's thrown at us. Did things go perfectly? No. Were there things we learned? We learned tons of things.

Our ultimate goal is to be in the final game of the Women's College World Series. It comes down to us competing and practicing every day with that mentality.

Our staff and our team has waited for the opportunity to begin our 2006 journey since the moment we walked off the field in Princeton, N.J., following our loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's been difficult knowing that other teams have been preparing and practicing already, so we are anxious to start.

I was thrown out of different schools because I was practicing my arts - magic, juggling, and the high wire.

I think I could have done much better. I've been practicing a lot better, but it's my first pretty big international competition, so I think I did pretty good.

I think if it is Garcia, having practiced against him every day would help a lot, but I wouldn't go into the game expecting seven turnovers just because you know the guy. It works both ways. We know him, but he knows us from practicing against us. We both do film study. It will come down to who is more prepared and who executes better." ()

I think since we've been practicing and gotten over the Auburn game and put that behind us, we've gotten a little swagger and some more confidence in ourselves. We're playing against the best defense in the country every day in practice.

It felt good. It's still only my third day of practicing and getting a chance to get out here and participate in a live game. It's good to be back.

It feels a lot like grass. I think practicing on it is going to get us more used to it than the other teams.

Just like any other game we're taking on we've got to prepare, prepare hard, mentally, physically. We've been practicing hard.

I think we are prepared for Elena. We've been practicing her different pitches, and a lot of my girls play tournament ball against her and have helped us prepare.

I thought our players handled it pretty well. they practiced hard and practiced fast. We got better. We were able to come back last night and get a game preparation practice in for Oregon State and that went really well. You like the preparation time, but you also like getting into a game week rhythm. It is hard to keep practicing against each other all the time.

I thought, 'Great, I've been practicing my putting all night,

I though the defense did all right, but they got fatigued pretty early, ... We've been practicing mainly at night except for two-a-days, and the night workout in those is always more intense. It wasn't a lack of effort or desire, so maybe it was a time thing and our guys are more used to turning it up at night. But with this hot, muggy morning, they got tired in a hurry.

I think it's definitely possible. There's a difference in mentality in preparing for a game as opposed to practicing and lifting. When you rest mentally, at this stage of the game, it can be just as beneficial as getting physical rest.

I think it's huge for us at this point in the season. We're used to practicing at 7,000 feet and playing multiple days in a row at that altitude. The other teams have played here but it's only for one day. It can take a toll on you playing multiple days in a row.

I think it's been a jolt of reality for coaches on what they have to do in practice to prepare for games. There's not a lot of sense practicing five-on-five stuff. You need to practice special teams a lot.

I think we're getting better. We're practicing with guys from our school now. We boxed out so hard tonight they said we were pushing too hard!

I wasn't tired until we got done; you're just going through so much. I think I'm just going to go lay down and kick my feet up. I think I did all the practicing I needed to do on those last eight holes.

Trent only ended up playing 56 snaps this (preseason). We would have liked to have him play 75 to 85 snaps with the work he missed only practicing once a day, ... I'm confident we can catch up, but I'm not sure how long it takes. We haven't been as efficient, other than the opening drive against Seattle.

You know guys like me and Fuzzy (Zoeller), you spend three hours on the range out here, but you know what happens -- you spend 2 1/2 of that (socializing), and you wind up practicing for 25 minutes. ... I got some good work in, and it is really paying off.

You know, you haven't been out there with the guys practicing the technique,

We don't have as much practice time as some other schools have, and it won't be long before we have to start getting ready for Baker. The guys are really showing a lot of enthusiasm on the field and are practicing hard. Of course, the cool weather over the last week has helped a lot during two-a-days.

We'll enjoy it for a couple of hours. But it's right back to practicing in the morning.

I would have to think there are going to be a couple of late games here on out. If we advance, we are going to be playing some good teams and there are going to be some late-game situations. We've been practicing those situations the last two weeks.

We're used to practicing in the heat. I don't think USC will be ready for the heat.

We have come two weeks before the tournament because at this period of time it is very cold in Nepal. There is no point practicing there because conditions are different.

We could feel it since the moment we started practicing this season. We knew we had a chance to be good if we kept working.

You just have to every day teach them how to win, teach them how to go hard. We don't talk about it that much. We just talk about playing as good, as fast, as hard and practicing as well as we can. And then that stuff takes care of itself.

That's been our Achilles' heel all year. It just worked out for us. We've been practicing them a lot lately, and they just seemed to fall. That's how you win championships.

Most of the games that were significant I went about 10-deep on our bench. And 10-deep meaning my eight and nine can still guard your top two. I started off the year practicing against boys, and I got rid of them because my second five was better than the boys that I could get to come play us.

Most of the golf instruction out there does everything but establish consistency on the course. It would be as if I continued practicing my typing once a week, but each time I tried a new style. One week I would hold my fingers over the middle row of keys and bend my fingers at a 90 degree angle, then the next week move to the top row and only bend them 75 degrees, and the next week over the bottom row, etc. At that rate I'd get worse and never finish a Golf Improvement Weekly.

My client is a medical doctor, practicing in Grafton for the last 10 years. He's an American citizen, he's a major in the U.S. Army Reserve, and he was with his 71-year-old, diabetic, really sick sister.

When I first started practicing law in the 1960s, no person had ever won a case against the City of Los Angeles for violation of their civil rights. There came a time when I felt morally I just could not try these cases anymore. I then left the office and my time in private practice has been interesting to say the least.

We've been getting them up early. We've been practicing early. It don't know if that has any consequence. Whether that makes a difference, I don't know.

We haven't peaked yet, because we're still making mistakes. We still have things to clean up. The thing about this team is everybody wants to keep on getting better. Nobody around here thinks they're playing their best football. We don't have egos like that. We're going to get back to practicing hard and go about the business of taking this next one like we've done the whole way: One game at a time.

We haven't been practicing well lately. I told them we played the first half like we've practiced. We've got to tighten the screws and become a better team.

We'll be practicing a best practices policy. If (Constellation) does something extremely well, we can adopt the same procedure in Florida, but there's not going to be any financial impact . . . for quite a while.

We were up and down, trying new kids in new spots, nobody was familiar with each other. The kids finally got used to it and got used to playing well with everybody. It just comes from practicing all the time and doing what you do best.

When that time comes, we'll see. That's definitely something that's going to go on with my agent and the Ravens. I feel good. When it happens, it happens. I'm focused on practicing right now and learning the defense.

When you're first learning a skill, the brain determines what muscles are needed and when. Through practicing the skill, a mental 'blueprint' is created.

You are either ready to discover yourself or you are not. Ready means you have been knowingly or unknowingly practicing self-observation.

We've had him on a stationary bike and he's been shooting around, but he hasn't been practicing with us.

We finally got the gang back together. It was important for us to play together for a little bit leading into the regular season. We were practicing all week together as a unit, and I think that was good for us. We're looking to raise it up another level heading into next week.

There are practicing Muslims playing in the National Football League. They were playing that night.

When you're practicing the same thing more than 10 or 12 hours a week, the injury rate gets much higher, ... And then there are games. With soccer and baseball, some of these kids are playing 60 to 80 games between April and August. The pros don't even do that.

The only down side is it seems like you've been practicing forever, when it really hasn't been. It just feels that way. This week, they're paying attention to what you're talking about. Everything picks up a notch because you're going into the home stretch and finally playing a game.

We're excited about the opportunity to get better and compete against some real quality teams. We're on a roll and we're getting better every day. This year, everyone contributes a little more evenly. It makes the team a little more uniform. We're all having a great time playing on the court. We love practicing and being together. We hang out a lot off the court, and that makes us stronger on the court.

We're at that point in the season where we can't let things slip away from us. We have to keep practicing hard. The better we do that, the better we're going to finish.

The people around me ... were hoping, of course, that the 'something' would be practicing golf. No such luck. What I found was gambling.

We want to have fun out here, but we also know that we need to stay focused. We are not here just to participate in things. We are here because we want to win the National Championship and I think that says a lot about how we are going to keep practicing and keep working in preparation for this game.

When I got here, we were practicing against bags, ... Players were holding up bags because we couldn't practice against other players. They weren't big enough. Now we're building depth and creating quality players in practice.

The fact that a physician is disciplined does not make them a bad doctor. They can be practicing a very high quality of medicine, very competent, and yet can be disciplined for a number of issues.

The deal is I have to like it because we have about seven or eight players who aren't practicing right now due to some injuries. We would have a very thin team if we played next week.

We call her Amanda Long-Arms. We hate practicing against her, because she's got such long arms.
