Practicing Quotations | Page 3

We outplayed them the first time, but we just didn't get the puck in the net. We've been practicing going hard to the net and tonight we scored much more easily.

We've worked hard the last couple weeks. We probably did more training than practicing volleyball. We need to be in shape since we don't have the size.... Being aggressive leads to more points.

We're tired of practicing and we're tired of scrimmaging. We're ready to play.

We should never rush into folly just because other nations are practicing it.

We wanted to win two of the three games we were playing this week, and we'd have had a better chance of doing that by forfeiting to Grinnell. We wasted two days not practicing Knox basketball, so I made the decision yesterday that when this game was over, we were going to get out there and run our offense.

We've got five months before the season starts. Hopefully, if there is any surgery it's not going to be complicated and I might start practicing next month.

We're looking forward to having his energy back. When I see how he's practicing it makes me play harder.

I like practicing law.

Would I be happy just practicing law? No. Would I be happy just doing TV and speeches? No. I want to do all of these things and be as active as I can... but my main goal is to have some degree of influence on the public discussion.

We also target youth in schools as a preventive method. We talk to them about safe and unsafe behaviors. We encourage them to speak to their friends who may be on runaway status about practicing safe behaviors and finding a safe place so they won't be victimized on the street.

We actually brought a plastic javelin into the gym this week. They were practicing all week. They were throwing it into the rafters. It was awesome.

When I was playing and practicing in that heat in July and August in Miami with shoulder pads on, it just vaporized me, ... Shula would always come over and look at me and say, 'Where are you? I know you're not here. You're just on automatic pilot.' I was up here in my mind, fishing in a stream.

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

What we're really practicing is risk mitigation. You will not be able to say everywhere every city is safe at all times. What you want to say is, are we continually getting safer?

With them having to move and practicing in a different state and having to deal with everything they've dealt with, it's amazing they can even get ready for a football game. It's going to be impressive, the fact they can move away as far as they did, with all the distractions, all the unknowns a lot of them have.

We had 100 kids in each age group and, when the coaches spoke, the players' eyes never left us. These kids were practicing eight hours a day doing all the drills we used to do in the U.S. And it has paid results. Lithuania is a nation the size of Indiana with probably fewer people and they got back-to-back silver medals in the Olympics. That experience got us motivated to teach fundamentals.

We're been practicing with the new balls and it kind of made my arm sore because they're a little different.

We are practicing with Hartland and they will get us prepared. They've been there the last four years and we should learn from them. They are a great program.

We started most of our matches practicing doubles. Our No. 3 spot is coming together, but Marion is out. It is going to be challenging on court without her.

We started practicing in the spring, planning and looking forward to playing in this game and winning it.

We're ready. The players are so tired of practicing against each other. They're prepared to play someone else.

To permit teens to talk on the phone while still practicing their driving skills simply does not promote safe driving practices on our roadways.

Crowd noise is definitely a factor, and I think they've had more procedure penalties in that stadium this year than any other stadium. But I can't think it can by any louder than what we've been practicing in.

Board certification is another type of certification. That is not a requirement for practicing medicine in Texas.

When it does get irritated, you get a lot of inflammation in that area. It's very difficult, if you're practicing and trying to play, to keep that down. That was really the issue today.

Everybody knows he plays great defense. He comes in and gives us a spark off the bench on the defensive end. Having somebody come in to help me and Drew out and is used to playing the point and wing positions, I'm glad to have him back. I can't wait 'til he gets back, official official, and starts practicing every day and going through everything with us.

As it happens, although I was at MIT on the faculty full-time for 18 years and then at Harvard for another 16, so I've always been in full-time academia, I always found it was both beneficial for my research and beneficial for the other work to be involved in the practicing community.

I've been riding for a very long time, since I was five. I came here when I was eight or nine. When I came here there were some older girls here, and I saw them practicing with these jackets on. I always wanted one. When I was nine, Mrs. Thomas asked me if I wanted to be alternate for the team.

I set a simple goal for this season, just to come to practice every single day. It kind of sounds funny but I feel like when I'm out there practicing and getting better every single day, the games will take care of themselves. If I can practice every day, that means I am staying healthy and good things will happen for me.

Israel is now sustaining a war for its own existence. A nation defending its citizens against terrorist bombings and a military and diplomatic onslaught by an array of Arab foes is practicing survival, not genocide.

We've been on them for three weeks. We know them inside and out. We know everything that they can do, so we're practicing the same stuff over and over. We're just anxious for the game to get here.

We've been playing hard and practicing hard all season, but we've been very inconsistent in games. This was a big step in the right direction for us. I thought a lot of guys stepped up today and did a lot of positive things.

We've been practicing against their press for the past two days, and we thought we had it down, but we just couldn't handle it (Thursday).

We've been practicing and playing for more than five months. We told our guys at the beginning of the year that it was a marathon, not a sprint. Now, it's time to finish it. Our guys have been waiting all year for this.

We've been practicing at 5:45 in the morning since we found out the pairings. I'm from Stephen (Minn.), so those early practices are kind of in the blood.

We've been practicing for a few weeks, and we're ready to get started playing.

We've been practicing for a week so it's kind of getting old and we just want to play again. We just want to forget about the Pella game and move on. I think we overlooked Pella and we shouldn't have. We learned our lesson; we're not going to overlook anybody else.

We've been practicing for quite a few weeks now. It's a lot of fun, especially when everyone gets into it.

We've been practicing free throws. I knew that we had to knock them down, we had to play defense and don't foul.

We've been practicing hard. Right now, we're clicking.

We've been practicing hard the whole time. We've just been trying to get mentally ready for the games a little more.

We've been practicing his kicking all week. But he was about at his limits.

We've been practicing officially for only a few days, so it's hard to predict exactly what kind of performances we may see from our guys this weekend. Putting them out there, especially the freshmen, is sort of like a baptism by fire. I'm interested to see how they respond.

We've been practicing the play and it was nice to see them capitalize on it.

We've been practicing with a sense of urgency to our preparation. Duquesne's program has been very successful. A new coach won't drive us.

As soon as it gets cooler out you feel like you want to hit somebody. It's just a game that you can't really forget. I mean it's so much fun getting the pads on and practicing with all the guys. You go into game day and all the excitement about it. The band's playing, just getting in there. Being able to throw passes and command an offense. I mean, everything about it. I love it. I love the sport.

As the season wore on, you could see our development. We got used to playing with each other. I thought we would be practicing today.

I spend a lot of time practicing active imagination before I go to sleep. What I'm feeling will manifest as images through active imagination. And then I go to sleep, and those play out even more in my dreams.

The team was already together. They had been practicing and everything else, and I think that team was like 16-1 or something. It wasn't my doing. I inherited a good team. But from that point on, I just started coaching and managing and working.

The three-week break certainly isn't going to help any. At least this year, we don't have to sit around and wait. Two years ago, we beat Pfeiffer and then they got the bid and we spent three weeks practicing not knowing what's going to happen.

We always preach that if you're practicing well, you give yourselves a chance to win. If you don't practice well and don't pay attention to details, you can still win, but you don't give yourself the best chance.

We've just been practicing hard and it's paying off. As a team we really click and get a lot of connections on the field.

We've just got to keep practicing hard before the game. Prepare well and just play good defense and rebound, and we'll win another championship.

And when we have been out practicing on the course we are wearing three turtlenecks and a jacket. It's not necessarily an excuse, but I think for me the short game just hasn't come back yet.

And with the extra time off we had, we got to lift more, so I think we'll be stronger. Before, we were practicing so much that we didn't have time to lift. So what happened was that you started to lose all the strength you had worked so hard to build up during the offseason.

The role of a practicing attorney is to achieve a desirable result for the client in the particular case at hand. But a judge can't think that way. A judge can't have any agenda, a judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case and a judge certainly doesn't have a client.

The way I've been playing and practicing this week, I don't think it could have hurt it none.

The same guys being in the flow of the action, being game fresh. . . . It's little things like that that I believe will help us. But it also goes a lot of layers deep, guys being a year older, guys practicing more, everybody concentrating more.

You have to give Coach credit because he trusted her in that situation. I think that gave her confidence, and she has built on that. She?s been practicing really well.

With him practicing all of last year and not playing in games, he really got the system down. And that's helped him tremendously.

You get on a little streak like we're on and everyone's confidence grows. People are definitely starting to pay closer attention when Coach says something, and we're practicing better and playing better in the games.

You go out and practice all week. It means a lot to win and see that your hard work is paying off. We're not just practicing for nothing.

We feel like we're practicing against the hardest defense in the nation every single day. When I look back there and see a different face, I'll be excited. If I can beat the best, then I'll be able to beat the second-best when they come along.

We wanted to shut them out. That was the goal we had the entire time we were practicing for the bowl.

Before I injured my shoulder, I was practicing quads in practice, things were coming back quite easily for me and started to flow forward.

Even though I wasn't practicing twice a day, I was still doing some stuff, ... So it just really didn't have any time to recover. I don't think it's fair to judge it off training camp, though.

Even though they probably didn't know it at the time, circus performers were practicing physics and math. Yes, it's fun and colorful, but you're still learning. You're learning without even knowing you are.

I want both of 'em practicing with a No. 1 mentality.

I want both of them practicing with a number one mentality.

Oh, I always won the game when I was practicing growing up. I'm undefeated. . . . If I missed, I got fouled.

Every time somebody doesn't practice, it gives somebody else an opportunity. Taylor has been practicing very, very well. He's been a very pleasant surprise this spring. His accuracy has been a good positive.

We are dressing 18 kids for the games, ... Twelve of those have been out all summer practicing with the varsity program.

Do you think that God will punish them for not practicing a religion which he did not reveal to them?

So the first thing that I thought about was, 'How is this car going to handle?' But then after I'd been driving with it and practicing with it and I accomplished that, then I just kind of sat back.

Coach asked me to be our best worker and best player a long time ago. I've done my best to try and be that. These guys have really bought into practicing hard every day. That's not something we've always done.

Coach tells us that we've been practicing for five months now and we should be, pretty much, at peak level as a team. We've had good practices, but today was just a bad game overall. We can't really have these kinds of games at this point in the season. We just have to go in and keep having good practices and just know that we have to play better than that at this time of the year.

I've learned...that when the rubber meets the road...only God gat your back! I'm practicing safe driving.

A typical practice consists of practicing every event for about an hour. A lot of people assume I have private coaching, but I work out with 13 other girls at the gym!

All along we've been practicing very specifically with each individual player. If you focus on the specific needs of each player it adds up for the whole team. We're trying to build each player's game around their best skills. Our overall philosophy is centered on consistency first. You don't have to win every point.

That's just something we do every day in practice. We go hard and somebody's going to fall. You just have to get back up and get back in the play. It comes from practicing with Coach Calhoun. He's never just going to let you lay there.

That's just the way shootouts are. It's kind of hard to get used to shootouts right now. We aren't practicing them because we are playing nearly every day. It's tough to get used to breakaways when you don't practice against them.

As a practicing neurologist, I place central importance in applying current science to the notion of disease prevention.

Also, Def Jam came along, and everybody was doing it without really practicing or trying to be better comics, just trying to get on TV.

A lot of this stuff you learn in games. That's where you learn because it's at game speed. Experience you gain in a game is farm more valuable than going out and practicing something.

A lot of defense agencies thought they were exempt back in the 1980s. But practicing NEPA and caring for the environment has become a way of life now.

They've all been practicing together, working hard together, and I think for the first time in a long time we have a team, not just individuals.

They've been practicing with us some of the time, but I just brought them up (from the JV team) this week.

They've definitely picked up the stuff that we've been practicing since last spring. They want to win.

They're staying at home. They're practicing at SC. They were in the game two years ago. They play in this stadium every other year with UCLA's home game, and they'll have a lot of familiarity with the game itself since they played in the (Orange Bowl) last year.

They're the guys that have been practicing the best.

Schwab had been practicing real well and we gave him an opportunity. He played pretty well.

Other highlights? When I started practicing Buddhism 21 years ago. Marrying the woman I married 26 years ago; my wife is quite a woman. The birth of my daughter. Joining Miles Davis' band.

Practice is important for how we operate, because we're not practicing the actual songs as much as we're practicing the way that we play music. To an extent, we practice being creative.

Practice, practice, practice. I've been practicing at the same hitting style forever and I've been getting better.

Practicing is not normally fun. Sometimes people say they're practicing, but they're really just enjoying themselves and the instrument. That's not real practice.

Practicing politics is like professional football. You have to be smart enough to understand the rules and stupid enough to think what you are doing is important.
