Diving Quotations | Page 2

(Earlier this season), when we came back from the Hall of Fame tournament after losing to Lebanon by 13 and Columbus East by nine, we had to do something. We spent the next three days at practice taking charges and diving for loose balls. These kneepads were a statement that no one was going to play harder than Castle.

These are young guys and we're trying to win. For me to build a winning environment, you have to try to win every night. These guys were scratching and diving for balls and they deserved to win.

It was warmer diving into the pool in Abu Dhabi.

The shop supports my hobby. I can earn money from diving to support my hobby.

I used to do gymnastics, so sometimes when I would go to the pool, I would go to the diving board, ... But I was always too scared to jump off.

Tell them there's an ocean of bliss! ... It's like diving within makes you experience subtler fields of consciousness, intellect and even love. And it makes you feel so good!

People think that what I see diving must drive what I put into films, but that isn't really the case. When I am making a Hollywood production, I am telling a different kind of story. Of course, if I see something interesting that works, we will look at it, but they are different things.

Our defense was phenomenal, especially in the first half. We played man and only gave up 12 points, and six of those they scored diving on loose balls on the floor that bounced their way. Alexander made a real solid run in the third, but I like the way we held our composure and then counter-punched them.

Once you get to this level, there are so many good basketball players. You have to find what's going to get you on the court, playing defense, getting rebounds, diving on loose balls, the hustle plays.

Once you get to state, anybody can beat anybody. It's just a time when you get teams going beyond 100 percent and it's just so fun to be a part of. Every loose ball, every player's on the ground diving for it. Every point matters and you never know what will happen.

Coach Carroll keeps things fun for us. You never know what he's going to do next. I can still remember the day that he jumped off the high diving board because he felt like it. Even I wouldn't have done something like that.

are attracted to the two of us diving down and up.

Ashley is the first national diving champion from San Diego County since Greg Louganis in 1976,

A scrupulous investigation into the accident has been conducted within a month's time, as was promised. It was established that outrageous violation of the instructions by senior officials of the Russian Pacific Fleet was the main cause of wrong 'swimming and diving rounds'

The boys really did an excellent job. Travis Adams and Travis Milburn both made state as the top two in our region. Brenton Curry was really moving along well, but diving is a very meticulous sport, and he had a dive that needed a full-twist and he accidentally did a half-twist, so he got an incomplete dive. But all three of them did a great job for us.

Alana is a very gutsy player. She has done a great job this year in the outfield, and I expect her never to let anything fall. She makes big plays and has done a good job at catching things in front of her and diving for balls that aren't.

You reward everybody for what they do best. We want the guys who take the charges, block the shots and we have a stat for getting loose balls, for diving on the floor. We put emphasis on those little statistics, when everybody only wants to know about rebounds, assists and scoring. It's not just about who scores all the points.

This goes back to when I was about six. I don't think I've ever felt good. It goes back awhile. The shoulder ends up hitting the wall, the diving (for balls) and lead arm swing, so it takes a lot of pounding and a lot of stress. It obviously gets sore from time to time.

They're still working on the script - they've got to get that nailed down and they want the first movie to come out obviously, not get too ahead of themselves. But yeah, it's looking good. I love the second book a lot as well, so kind of diving into that is awesome.

They're a blast to watch. Her team has taken on her personality; they're diving on the floor for loose balls.

A lot of the teams have gotten stronger. Our diving has been a little down and that has hurt us in a few meets, but we're working to improve that. At least four teams (that are on Vineland's schedule) have really improved. Washington Township has 14 new kids, Cherry Hill West and Cherry Hill East are strong, and Eastern is always a competitive team. They all have good coaches who know how to plan lineups, so it's going to be a challenge.

They don't go through the grind others do defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls, if you make an error how it might affect you next at bat. If you're a DH you don't go through any of that. You just hit. So as good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best in the game, no question, I can never vote for him. That's all.

They don't go through the grind other guys go through defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls. If you make an error, it might affect you but if you're a DH, you don't go through any of that. You just hit. As good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best, no question, I could never vote for a guy who doesn't do play defense.

There may have been people who stumbled upon it when fishing or diving and rode a wave or two, but there is no concrete proof of it,

It's a shame. If these guys are going to come to the ultimate meet for these kids, they should be coming in better equipped to handle diving like that. He's not your ordinary high school diver. There were some scores in there that were an injustice to him.

It's a reward to our men and women's team for their continued dedication to Auburn University, the swimming and diving program, and it is a testament to their work.

It wasn't from lack of effort. All our guys were diving all over the floor. Every time we cut it to two points, (Merced) came up with a big shot.

It was the most exciting diving competition I can remember. She's been working on more risky dives and she really came through. She's just made so many improvements since she gave up gymnastics and we were all glad to see it pay off.

It was a really nice performance both days. We would have finished ahead of Grand Junction, but we didn't have a diving team.

It was a tough loss. For the older team members, it was the first loss they've ever had. It was for sure disappointing, but looking past and getting runner-up at the meet we had a lot of younger guys pull through big for us, diving especially.

It was a total team effort ? diving for loose balls, playing with our heads.

It was a scramble situation. I picked up the ball and they had a guy on their team diving for the ball, and he hit my leg, and that was pretty much the end of it. It really didn't hurt as bad as I would have expected. ... As the situation stood, I felt it and heard it, so I pretty much immediately knew I was done for the year.

It is very exciting that for the second consecutive year, Auburn will have the honor of visiting the White House. Auburn and Auburn people are very proud of the accomplishments of coach David Marsh and the men's and women's swimming and diving teams.

It really was like we were two different teams against them. In the second half, we weren't playing the best we ever played. We weren't diving for loose balls anymore.

It's very difficult to play here. Players diving all the time, pushing - they have another set of rules.

It's always going to start with the guy on the bump. He's going to keep us in there. (On defense), I don't expect them to make diving plays, but I expect them to make the plays when the ball is hit to them, to turn double plays.

It?s funny because we were practicing and Eric was flying around the goal and diving for everything. I told him, ?Hey dude, relax, the game?s tomorrow (so take it easy).? But that?s the type of attitude he plays with. I don?t care what anyone else says ? to me, he?s the best goalkeeper in South Texas.

It's playing defense, diving after loose balls, sprinting back on defense to break up a fast break. People forget sometimes that these are 18- and 19-year-old young adults. They go through so many personal things while playing college basketball and taking college courses.

Target launch date for Falcon I maiden flight is Halloween (October 31) from our island launch complex in the Kwajalein Atoll. For potential customers out there, I should mention that Kwajalein has some of the worlds best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropical paradise.

Swimming is diving into the pool and trying to miss the water.

It's been great to be around so many good athletes and coaches. My teammates and I are always pushing each other to improve. Our practices are very intense. If there is a loose ball on the floor, we all are going to be diving after it.

I've heard they may put me in right some. I've never played right, but it can't be too much different from left, I don't think. I have to be smart. I can't be all crazy, diving around. I'm 34 years old and weigh 230 pounds; that's a hard impact.

They called her Ms. March early on in her career because she knew what she had to do in order to get our team to a national championship. I think that?s her attitude right now. She knows what she needs to do to help our team go out and win the Big East. She?s just been playing that way, diving on tables, diving on loose balls, getting after rebounds. She?s getting back to Will. You can tell, and it?s really helping our team out.

They were switching screens and I think they thought that was going to confuse us and it did initially. They weren't protecting the basket so we kept diving to the basket. Once we got the ball up top, we were looking underneath.

They laid a good foundation. They feel capable of doing their best diving of the year.

It was just one of those days where we hit the ball very well. A lot of our hits were solid and quality at-bats. Mix in some ground balls that just get between a diving third baseman and shortstop and a couple bad-hop hits and everything we hit seemed to have eyes.

Not to mention (bloggers) get to write about the topic they are most passionate about. So, for our folks, it is like they are making money off their hobby. Think a scuba diver or video-game player making $500 to $1,500 a month writing about scuba diving or video games.

Six years old does sound young, but there are so many (overnight) camps with extremely successful histories of creating a child's world for them. It's a judgment call as to when a child is ready. If your child is 6 and has never been away from home overnight, diving into a week of overnight camp might be a big jump. Families should create progressive experiences to get a child ready.

If there's something wrong or a chance something can go wrong, I'll hang 'em up. I'll think about that first hit (if he returns). My game is diving on the floor, setting screens, but if the doctors say it's OK, and they say the heart has healed, I'll play.

In this meet I wasn't expecting anything (or) to be close to him. I'm actually just happy to be diving in this meet.

I really love diving in, head first, with directing and not having to worry about hair, makeup or lines.

Investors are still wary of diving back into this market.

In the long haul, you are looking at the rebirth of one of the historically successful industries of Pensacola . . . the fishing and diving industry.

I tend to like writing long stories in comics. I worked on 'Flash,' 'Teen Titans' and 'JSA' for years. I always like diving into characters.

Christina dove well, especially for going between the dual meet and selection camp. We appreciate her doing whatever needed to be done for the team. She is certainly a star of the future for not only IU Diving, but U.S. Diving as well.

He's still making five or six huge saves a night and sometimes more. He's on his mark. He's not diving side to side. He's not sliding around his crease. He's square, he's set, and if you beat him, you beat him with a good shot.

He started diving at a young age. I think he has been on a diving board since he was about 7 years old. He's just got a great feel for the board and for his body position. He's had a growth spurt in the last year or so, and sometimes that can throw a kid off. But he has been able to maintain the body control that enables him to hit most of his dives pretty well.

How about that speed down the sideline? Diving was more of an exclamation point to it.

I don't know how I did it. I either did it diving for a ball or on my last swing. It's a little stiff.

Chad makes a great diving play to get Martin a dunk and the crowd really gets into the game and you think we have momentum. I'm frustrated, but we didn't deserve to win that game.

Certainly with our team he is not flying under the radar. We know he brings a lot of energy and toughness. Scott has the ability to be a combination guy. Next year you'll see that. But his staple is outworking people, getting offensive rebounds, tipping and diving for loose balls.

He thought the board members would resign and go away. But we had resolve, because we believed in DAN's mission. We said, wait a second, you can't have someone who's not accountable to anyone reaping the full benefits the IRS provides for nonprofits and the full benefits of the diving community.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

I do an awful lot of scuba diving. I love to be on the ocean, under the ocean. I live next to the ocean.

I did a lot of practice diving at the Community (Park) pool. So I figured I'd go out for the team when I got to high school. I wasn't very good when I started, but I liked it a lot so I stuck with it.

I am very proud of our diving student-athletes here at Indiana University. We want to be competitive both in the diving well and in the classroom, and my goal is to challenge the divers to continue improving in both areas next year.

I am very proud of her performance. She followed the game plan. Today she was more confident about her diving in every aspect. She gave the crowd that came to see her something to watch.

I appreciate what those guys are doing out there. I don't know anything about diving because my background is in swimming. When I watch them, I'm not sure what they're doing. It's more than I can ever do.

I am pleased that United States Diving recognizes Christina's ability and potential. She has everything it takes to become an Olympian and Olympic medalist. This is just another step in her progression to reach her dreams.

I consider myself a swimmer and a diver. I know what swimmers go through and what divers go through. Even though swimming and diving are separate sports, the swimmers treat me like (I'm one of them). They are always there for me.

I could never vote for a guy who doesn't play defense. They don't go through the grind other guys go through defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls. If you make an error, it might affect you, but if you're a DH, you don't go through any of that. You just hit.

He and I have a neat rapport. He was trying to set up a deal where, if he broke the state record by 120 points, I'd have to shave my head. We joke around a lot about a lot of things. I want to make high school fun for him because he's diving against some of the top divers in the world and in order to make it fun you have to put goals in there to make it fun.

He probably got too far offshore and got caught in the currents. Free diving is more of a local thing, but we have a lot of mainland people do it. A lot of people exceed their ability and get shallow water blackout.

I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.

The only way you're going to get through life, happily, is being yourself.

…deep-diving love, a love that excavates you. It’s something you have to have before you die in order to have lived.

I don't have to tell you folks about scuba diving. So, that'll save some time.

The only work I ever turned down was a cable programme called Diving for Excrement.

The entire swimming and diving coaching staff is so very proud of all our student-athlete's efforts in the classroom. This type of accomplishment is only possible when each individual makes the commitment to be the very best student-athlete possible.

The guys in front of me have been playing unreal lately just diving and blocking shots. They say in the dressing room they're organ donors.

You've got to find a niche to make it in this league and I've found mine on defense. Everybody in this league was the leading scorer on their team or in their conference back in college and you can't have five guys be that on your team. Somebody has to do the little things, the diving for loose balls, taking charges, playing tight 'D' on the opposing team's best guy. That's what I do. That's what I bring to this team.

You've got guys diving on the court, chasing loose balls and giving it all they've got.

You've got a lot of guys out there now who have been diving for a long time and to ask them to go along and get a medical certificate to go diving, a recreational activity, it's like asking a hunter to get a medical before he goes hunting.

The effort was there. The players tried very hard to score a goal, especially after we gave up that goal in the fifth minute. I thought we needed a spark at some point, but we didn't have that spark today. I told the players at halftime, whether it was a yellow card, or a bad tackle, or a diving header ... something that would wake them up even more. We are almost there, but obviously something was missing. Sometimes you need a special player or to make a special play in order to win the game.

In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving, diving, diving, diving, Diving down to pick up every shiny thing

As a kid, I loved to play centerfield. I loved to make diving catches.

Diving is a leap of faith plus gravity.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

It's as important to be well informed in this area, if you're going to do it, as it is to be well informed about procedures in skin diving and that sort of thing if you're going to do that.

Tantalus made a wild grab, but the marshmallow committed suicide, diving into the flames.

Throughout my life, I've had different metaphors for freedom. At one time, it was skin diving. In the ocean you feel weightless; you escape from gravity.

When we're impatient with beginners around us, we would do well to sign up for a class in scuba diving, ballroom dancing or anything else totally brand-new for us.

If I ever saw one of my team-mates diving, I'd definitely have a word

Yes, here I am returning, the woman who bore herself to the bottom and back. Who wanted to swim like dolphins, leaping waves and diving. Who wanted only to belong to herself.

We wanted to present the Headless Horseman in a new light. That's where the fun comes in, of just diving in.

I'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals
