He's arguably the best wrestler in the history of our program. He's a great wrestler. Some wrestlers have a strong work ethic and not a lot of talent and some have a lot of talent and don't work very hard.

He's a remarkable combination of terrific skill blessed by God, a work ethic unparalleled by anybody I've been around. And his single greatest asset, in my opinion, is his pride. I've gone on record before, and I believe this, that he's the finest running back that I've seen in football.

He's always been good, but now he's turned into one of the elite wrestlers in the country. His work ethic and intensity have changed. He's much more intense. He has a lot of emotion and he does what he needs to do to compete at a high level.

He's a lot more poised than I was at that age. His work ethic is great. I think going to college helped him, because he was already fine-tuned. When I went out there, I was kind of wide-eyed. He went out there focused.

He's got great hands. He's a tough young man who has a tremendous amount of determination. I mean, his determination is really what makes him the player he is. He's obviously got good qualities - he's got good touch around the basket - but it's his work ethic that allows him to be the quality player he is. I'm just saying I don't think there are many players that play with that type of intensity, particularly freshmen.

He's been real good in training camp and the preseason games. He's got a real determined work ethic right now and I think part of that is because of the injury. He wants to make sure that he's all the way back.

His work ethic is tremendous, ... He comes to practice every day to compete. He enjoys it. He has fun at what he's doing. And as a coach, you really like to see that in a player.

His work ethic is really a good example for the younger guys. Just the experience of being through three Olympic Games will really help settle things down.

His work ethic is outstanding; he's the guy that's first on the ice and last off. He's committed to being a goalie and moving on, and he certainly has an excellent opportunity. I honestly believe he has a huge career in front of him. Colorado sees great things in Tyler. They feel he's a prospect, and he's been nothing but great for us.

His work ethic is great. He is willing to listen and learn and works hard at everything on and off the court. He is a tremendous young man.

His velocity is so much better this spring than it was before. You can see the work ethic is paying off for him in a lot of ways.

He's a student of the event. His preparation and work ethic are the kind of things you want from a kid. He likes the 800 and that helps. It's rare when you find a kid who loves an event like that.

He's a special swimmer and will be successful at the college level because of his work ethic and determination to succeed.

He's a very talented offensive player that put up big numbers. He has not had the chance to probably catch enough games to make a fair judgment if he can be an everyday catcher. But the work ethic is there, and that's something that you cannot always teach.

He's going to be an All-Star. And his work ethic continues to improve. As Ozzie told him, the only thing that can keep B.J. Upton from being a tremendous player is B.J. Upton.

He was probably our hardest worker on the team. His work ethic will carry on for years and years in some of our younger kids. He showed them this is what it takes to be successful.

He was glad to make the transition to receiver, and his work ethic just exploded. He runs routes real well, and he catches the ball with his hands. That sounds like a simple thing, but that's not always done. And he's just a heck of an athlete.

He was a big part of the leadership of our senior class. He has a work ethic that just seemed to inject energy into everyone else.

He wants to learn. You take that work ethic and his physical ability, which he has a lot of, and you've got a player with a pretty good upside.

He certainly made big plays. He recognizes that he?s the guy who can make them. He has a great work ethic and I think he?s more assertive going after the football. We must have had 25 seven-on-seven (games) and you could see his confidence level rise. He expects to get the job done.

He'll be a huge asset for USF. He has great size, is technically very gifted and brings a great work ethic to their program.

He is one of those kids who is good because he is such a hard worker. He has a great work ethic and is just a blue-collar hockey player.

Halak made a remarkable impression in his first season in North America. He has an excellent work ethic and could become an excellent goaltender in the years to come.

Kevin is an asset to our team who provides great work ethic and a positive attitude.

Kim is like having another coach. She had a lot of experience with great coaches in high school. She has a great work ethic and does a lot on her own. All of the credit goes to her.

Kirk (Snyder) deserves a shot. Kirk works his butt off every day. He's still out here. Matter of fact, do you see J.R.? (Smith had left.) That pretty much tells it. It's work ethic -- he has to work harder.

Kate will bring unquestioned integrity, values and work ethic to the lieutenant governor's office, ... She is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and she believes, as I do, that Nebraskans are not satisfied with 'pretty good' or 'good enough.' With Kate on our team, I am convinced more than ever that we can transform Nebraska into a world-class performer on every level.

Kara is one of those kids you look forward for her to show up to the yard. She has such a great work ethic and she's very successful in everything she does. It doesn't matter how small something is, it's important to her.

Keith is just flat-out outstanding. He is a tremendous administrator and will bring passion, great organizational skills and a strong work ethic to that role. He is one of my closest friends. This is a grand slam for the University of Central Florida.

Just seeing his work ethic I think has been the best thing for me. I'm learning something every day at practice; every game. The way he works, the way he prepares himself every day. I think that's important for a young kid like me and it's great to be able to learn from a guy like that.

Joe has been off a little bit -- not in his work ethic -- but shots have been missing, his stick has been breaking. I think tonight is what he needed to break out of a little slump.

John is exactly the kind of athlete every coach wants on his team. He brings knowledge and great work ethic to every game and every practice. He's always been a small kid, but, through hard work, he's improved his body a lot. That's a tribute to his dedication. He's the kind of kid every coach dreams about.

John is a great athlete who has shown great improvement over the past season. He's got a great breaking ball and can put some good velocity on his pitches. He comes from a Penn State family, and has the work ethic to be successful in the classroom and on the field.

I think it's a great opportunity for Keith. Again, another kid with a hard-work ethic and tenacious play, plays with a lot of heart.

I think it is encouraging that we are working harder. Our work ethic has improved and, if that continues, we will start making strides.

I think it's a willingness to work. I think our work ethic is not very good in the third. And you can see that in the games. But it might also be a learning experience with the younger guys. As veterans, we need to pass on that knowledge.

I think the fans could see in his face and body language that he was bothered when things didn't go well. They appreciate work ethic and even empathize with him from time to time. But it's probably not a good thing to do it in back-to-back seasons.

Lacking a profit motive, workers in the government by and large have a different work ethic from those in private industry. When they could make one call, federal workers take a meeting.

I went into this thing thinking I would not get drafted and do it through free agency. I tried to lower the expectation when things were out of my control like they were today. All I can do now is show up in Philadelphia and bring my work ethic and work as hard as I can.

I will be positive, will be respectful, always truthful and demonstrating that work ethic that we're all so proud about here in South Dakota.

Just because you're down doesn't mean you can't rise to be a cream-of-the-crop team. You just can't feed into what everybody else says. I can't feed into what's being written or what's being said. I've got to come to work knowing that I've got the talent, I've got the work ethic to get this thing rectified, and everybody has to believe that or we're not going to get anything accomplished.

Jen remains unbeaten on the season with a dominating win. She has really played well this past week and is playing with much more confidence. Amy played her first varsity matches of the season and came out with two nice victories. Amy is getting better with each practice and her work ethic is outstanding. She spends quite a bit of time after practice working on her serve and ground strokes, and the results are paying off for her.

Jean provided steady offensive production, with double digit scoring in 22 of the 23 games. Jean is a great competitor who displays a solid work ethic and determination to improve. Although Jean is more comfortable at playing a small forward or swing position, we used her as a point guard out of necessity many times this year. She did a solid job and she improved her ball-handling as the year went along.

is a man of very high integrity, high conscience, a strong work ethic and a pragmatic guy.

Our kids kept us in the game with sheer work ethic and will. Northwestern off its win over Iowa is just a juggernaut at this point.

Paige has a great deal of raw talent. But that's not enough. Paige also has a very good work ethic and when you put those together, you get success.

Our work ethic was there. We got the opportunity on the power play and took advantage of them.

Our attitude is still great. Our work ethic is great. We aspire to make the playoffs, so we still have a lot to play for.

Our attitude and work ethic have been great with this group. This pre-season went above and beyond my expectations. But, we have inexperienced players who do not have a lot of (varsity) game experience. But, I feel good about being able to compete.

Our biggest task was not to be surprised by the work ethic of the New York Rangers because in the past they've been known not to work.

My parents always tried to teach us the best of both, the Chinese ethic of hard work and education and the American ethic of innovation of aspiration.

My work ethic now is nowhere near what I had at high school. I owe that to (coach Richard Schmidt ), the University of Tampa and most of all my friends and family for always believing in me.

Marin is one of those silent leaders who lead just through sheer work ethic and by example.

I think certainly it's not good news, at least in the short term. If there is a positive spin on it, both the facilities and the employees in both the Fort Kent and Presque Isle offices have always been applauded for their high work ethic and high productivity.

I think once our new coaches get established they are going to be comforted by their level of dedication and loyalty and work ethic to not only North but the kids in their program.

I think he'll be successful, ... He has to avoid the injuries, but I know the work ethic is there and the talent is there.

I think his work ethic is unmatched. When he first came into the league he was more of a winger who would just get forward, get forward and get forward, and never come back. I think he's really developed a lot of defensive abilities.

I think his work ethic and overall attitude are one of the best I have ever been around. He's just one of those good, all around kids. He shows up at the meets and becomes part of our team and encourages everyone. He's all business and the real deal.

I thought it was a great year. Obviously we progressed tremendously. I thought the way we played the last six weeks was a testament to the work ethic of our players.

Just her work ethic rubs off on everybody else. She's always going 100 percent, and I think people see that out of her and tend to pick it up, too. The main thing I like out of her is if you need a person who's going to go get rebounds and get in there on defense and get on the ball. A lot of kids do that, and Danielle thinks that's her role and she does a good job of it.

Man, LA was crazy. But Rees was a great role model. He didn't smoke, drink or get high. And, at the age of 21 or so, we were very impressionable. So we adopted that lifestyle and work ethic and here we are, still in the game.

Mamie is a great addition and can make an immediate impact in our program. She is a complete player who has the ability to score from anywhere. Her work ethic will be contagious and her size at the guard position is something that will cause match-up problems from opponents.

We've talked a lot about that in practice this week. We have to continue our work ethic and not get overconfident with everyone patting us on our shoulders. This isn't a bad thing, but we have to handle it right.

That would be great. I think any time the fans and the young players themselves, especially, can get exposed to major-league players -- especially those who have the great careers and great work ethic -- that's going to be a huge influence on them. I would think that would be great exposure for everybody involved.

That's what I find is just the work ethic of some of my peers I've noticed, and it has to do with how they were raised. And I didn't come from a lot of money either, so I never had any kind of strange thing that can happen with rich kids where they're not always given discipline. Not always, but I've seen that sometimes. But it happens with people with no money too, so. . . .

We need to reestablish our work ethic and get back the fire we need to win games. As far as I'm concerned, the playoff race starts Oct. 8 in Dallas. You can't make the playoffs in the first 20 games, but you can be out of it after 20 games. So for me, it's all about establishing that work ethic again in a hurry. I just keep telling the guys that, too -- so much that they think the record is stuck.

We are better because of having Bruce as a leader. He has a rare work ethic and a rare positive attitude. He's the whole team's quarterback. Everybody believes in him.

Without a doubt, his work ethic is the No. 1 reason why he is where he is.

Weeding out the right people comes into understanding our culture and that goes into the work ethic and the quality of the work.

We really put in a work ethic that season. Sometimes I feel bad that we worked them so hard, but it has paid off in the long run. And that tells you what kind of kids we have. It's not fun when you're losing, but to work that hard when you're losing says something about all of those kids.

We have some kids that are going to be playing at the next level. They all have a great work ethic and really dedicated themselves to the weight room over the summer. They'll be rewarded this spring.

We are thrilled Coach Montague joined the Marist baseball staff. His work ethic and baseball knowledge are unparalleled. His energy on and off the field carries over to the players and that is why he gets the most out of his players.

We are thrilled Coach Montague joined the Marist baseball staff, ... His work ethic and baseball knowledge are unparalleled. His energy on and off the field carries over to the players and that is why he gets the most out of his players.

We have a great workforce here. I don't think anybody would have a problem finding good, skilled employees. We have a great work ethic here. A lot of our people began their careers in the textile industry. They're used to rotating shifts. Companies here praise our workers and we have a low turnover rate.

Tyler will bring a much needed physical element to our team. He's as excited to win the ball back as he is to score a goal. Tyler is a dedicated versatile player whose work ethic and attitude would make any team better.

Tyler is a very strong kid who has a great work ethic and he will be a very good wrestler for us next year.

We got off to a great start and I'm very happy with the win and the way we played. I give a lot of credit to Wheatfield. They are a hard working team and they never give up. They have a strong work ethic and are very committed to back checking. Their goaltender also played well in the second and third periods.

The problem is this is so politically incorrect. The public is still dealing with the pre-Roe ethic when it comes to men, that if a man fathers a child, he should accept responsibility.

We'll evaluate everybody. But in terms of the work ethic and the commitment of our officials, I think it's very strong.

We don't have the depth or the skill level of Detroit so our work ethic has to be as high as theirs. Obviously, the first part of the game it wasn't . . . .Quite frankly it looked like we were enjoying the fruits of Thursday night's victory (over Dallas) too much.

When you set a national collegiate record on your first outing of the season, you're sending a statement to everyone else competing in that event. Trey (Hardee) was healthy during fall workouts, and the work ethic certainly was there all along. It just all came together for Trey.

We are happy for both Lee and Jordan that they have the opportunity to play professionally. It is exciting to see that six players from our team this past season will be playing professionally. I feel as though it speaks volumes toward not only our program, but to the character and work ethic of these players.

We're a team that our work ethic has to be 100 percent, our concentration has to be 100 percent and our desperation has to be 100 percent. At the moment that we slip away a little bit, we are going to be in real trouble. (Saturday) all the things I just mentioned were not there at all and it was embarrassing. An embarrassing performance. That's all I have to say.

We should have won by more, we needed some more patience, but I love the work ethic and the way we are playing for each other.
