We believe that Douglas should continue to outperform the German retail sector. Recent economic data suggest that German consumer confidence is improving.
We believe that a significant share decline in 2006 could undermine confidence in the Way Forward plan as the year progresses.
Whether we play well or not, we have to win this game. We must call on all our fans to create the right atmosphere, as this is like a final. My players are not brimming with confidence but they understand that they have the responsibility of putting in a decent performance.
We've also had the opportunity to work with Dr. Long for six years. We've seen him grow professionally. I have the utmost confidence that Dr. Long is the right choice for this job.
We started to gain confidence from turnovers that the defense was coming up with, and it gave our offense a better outlet for attacking. When the defense is strong and playing like that you can take a lot more risks.
We started to believe what the coaches were telling us. You can see the confidence we have.
We started the season with a little setback because we had to have two seniors move to the setter position where they haven't ever played. I know I have the hitters that I can use to run some plays and we're just now getting the confidence in the setters.
We started the season slow, but our intensity and determination have really improved. Once we started winning some games we got our confidence back. Now we know we can do it.
We started the game very well. I don't know that we got timid to let them back in the game. I just think they got their confidence going and they made a run at us. I am just glad that my team got the job done.
We started talking about this long before the collapse. I'm just grateful that Arthur has shown this confidence in me.
