Injury Quotations | Page 7

They were here for 90 percent of the summer getting their weight and running workouts. That's a reason why no one has missed a practice in terms of an injury or soreness. They always come in so healthy that it's helped us get that much further along.

This is a massive blow to the player and the club. It is a very serious injury and Paul will have an emergency operation straight away.

This injury limits her function, making it impossible for her to jump, land and skate effectively and without risk of serious injury.

This injury is dictating the end of my career, whether that's this year, next year or whatever, ... I was able to rehab it and I want to find out if I can still play. Then when I retire I won't have to look back and think I could have had another year or two. I like playing the game, so if it means working hard and getting back in shape to play one more year, I think it's worth it. I know it's worth it.

This injury is all about him getting jammed and having the vessel go into spasms. We don't know why.

This injury has put things in perspective for me. Sometimes you take things for granted like always being able to see perfectly. To go down with the eye injury was tough. It's nice to see again.

They've been our one and two since last year, and we need them to get back in shape. I thought Kristina was better off than Meagan, because her injury was a little worse, but both of them did a good job getting back into it.

They said everything was on track, that the injury was what we thought it was right along. I'll take a week off, relax, and when next week comes along I'll start therapy again. Hopefully, I'll be on the ice and back at it in two weeks.

They saw what I can do, ... They know I can hit. The injury set me back a little bit, but I will have to just go to spring training and play the best I can play and just see what happens.

Although the man was involved in a violent fight with police, there was no obvious injury that would have resulted in collapse and death.

Although Ricky was unhampered by his injury in batting and fielding sessions, we consider it more prudent to rest him.

They have a very quick quarterback and they have a running back who ran very well (in the Injury Fund). If we don't do the things we're supposed to do defensively, we can get burned.

You can't let an injury slow you down in basketball or in any sport. Injuries are a part of the game, and they've obviously been a big part of my career here.

There was no sign of a tear on Danny's scan, so we expect the injury to clear up in the next couple of days, which is great news,

There were no words exchanged. I had an injury with three of my toenails, he implied that I was faking it, and I told him to go sit. In 41/2 hours, that was it. There were no bad words.

There were no words exchanged, ... I had an injury with three of my toenails, he implied that I was faking it, and I told him to go sit. In four and a half hours, that was it. There were no bad words.

This is what we brought Rachael here to do. A shoulder injury got her season started late.

This is very important information for law enforcement that depend on the effectiveness of their less lethal devices in the field. One of the reasons police use electronic control devices is to stop problem behavior early in a confrontation and de-escalate a situation before a higher level of force becomes necessary. The force option has to work. If the suspect fights through the effects of the device the situation is likely to escalate. The situation could rapidly deteriorate, resulting in serious injury or death to the officer or suspect.

T his is totally different from Athens because I was on the start line with no injury worries and I felt 100% healthy. I knew I was in good shape and I just wanted to prove it.

This is the worst injury run I have ever experienced.

They're back -- kind of. They do more with less match play than anyone I can think of. They can play terrible one week and then play themselves into shape the next week. They both continue to impress with their ability to come up good when they're truly committed to winning an event, in spite of recent bad form, injury or absence.

A street full of electric light is a sign of civic failure and is an insulting injury to the soul. Shutting out the night is as disastrous as shutting out the light.

Absolutely amazing. To come back from a shoulder injury from last year where he couldn't swim, it was amazing.

It's just a world of difference. The brace is strictly for the type of injury he has.

It's a shame, but Pedro won't pitch in the Classic. I met with Pedro to talk about this; he did everything he could, and he was ready to join the team later in the competition, but his injury delayed his preparations.

It's a shame that Oliver had to announce that his injury was worse than originally thought.

It's a regulation hamstring injury so it will be a couple of weeks.

It's a testament to his dedication that he was able to, after six weeks off, play 32 minutes. Very few people with his injury and his natural conditioning problem, being 7-6, would be able to do that. But he's got an unusual amount of dedication to his team. He should be really commended for that.

It's a biceps injury that he can play with, ... I guess it's a pain issue, but it's not anything that's threatening to keep him out for a long period of time.

It wasn't good. It's obviously one of the risks you take playing in these games. For him to have an injury that something because I've never known him to get hurt.

It was determined at the emergency room that she would miss four to six weeks, which is basically the rest of the season. It was determined in Brooke's best interest not to rush her healing process to ensure that she would not have problems later in life with the injury recurring.

It was slightly disappointing because the injury affected us. We also tried working on some different aspects of our game in the doubles matches, and I think that also affected our performance.

It was strange how similar his injury and mine were,

It was real tough. Marc played the last three games for us and played as good as he's played in his career for us. Pascal, unfortunately, got a bad neck injury and Marc had to come in. It's tough coming in against the Red Wings on a power play.

It was a terrible match. People asked me if I was hurt (the residue of a back injury that bothered her during the Wimbledon final against Venus Williams). I wish I could say that. Unfortunately, I felt fine. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and played really well and I totally got beat. Against Elena, I felt a lot of it had to do with me.

It's actually more lead than we've ever seen in supplements. We don't know if the levels in these products is enough to cause injury or symptoms in adults. It's just something you want to avoid.

It's a difficult injury because almost everything you do in baseball from swinging the bat to fielding to throwing involves the oblique.

It's a different mechanism of injury this time. Yeah, I am a little more concerned about it this time, because he did it swinging, and that's the typical way you do it. But you just don't know. He was pretty sore in Spring Training, too.

It's a dream, but it took a lot of work and a lot of rehab. After an injury like that, you're unsure of the future and how it will react.

It's a fantastic achievement. To still be in this competition, particularly with some of the injury problems we've had, shows how hard our players have worked. We played well tonight especially on the break. But we also did well to keep a clean sheet.

It might say it has nearly healed, but if it shows that we can't get rid of the injury and that it needs an operation, then it's not worth thinking about the Commonwealth Games.

It's an old injury I had for about eight years. It causes quite a bit of pain so I'm having the joint fused and it should straighten things out.

It revealed that he sustained an injury to one of the medial tendons of his left hamstring behind the knee.

It really wasn't (enough), the cost of injury and the cost of accidents have increased so much that those numbers are antiquated. I've seen numerous cases where someone gets in an accident and their $5,000 insurance is not enough and they owe a large additional amount.

It ranges from property damage accidents to some personal injury accidents.

I told the trainers what it was before they told me. When it happened, I knew right away my season was over. You know what an Achilles injury means. It's hard knowing that they brought you in here to do a job and you can't do that job until next season.

It's not one of those injuries that heals even in four or five weeks. It's one of those that takes a significant amount of time. It's just unfortunate. It was kind of a funny fluke injury where he just got tangled up with Travis Wilson, I think. And it was a pass skeleton, where it wasn't even much of a contact drill. He just got kind of tangled up with him. It doesn't take much sometimes.

It's not that simple. It's tough. It's total reconstruction of the knee. It's a tough injury. But, with today's technology and the way they have rehab set up, it's the kind of injury guys can come back from and be just as strong.

For him to suffer his third serious knee injury on the eve of the finals after all he's been through, and all he's done to get back playing this year is cruel.

It's one thing to be good and talented and deep. It's another to be good and talented and deep and injury free. If you look at the history of our league, that's paramount.

It's the facial injury that's the most concerning.

It's that attitude that has enabled him to fight back after injury after injury.

It's looking pretty bad right now. I can't do much more than a moderate walk. I've never had this type of injury before. I'm just trying to be as optimistic as possible, but it's hard to be optimistic. It was hard Saturday.

It's more the elbow than the shoulder. We're not sure exactly what it is, but it's not an injury to be taken lightly.

It just doesn't make sense to allow a dog to kill or (cause) serious injury twice before they get declared potentially serious.

It is very unfortunate that an injury like this occurred. Larry has been playing extremely well, but I am confident that his teammates will step up in his absence.

It is very painful and doctors told me that this injury takes eight days to heal. I have a huge wish to play, but the risk is also very big. I will decide on Friday just before the match.

It looks like it could be an injury that takes some time to heal,

It looks like if we keep treating Sean, his injury is going to be behind us and we're going to fine with that.

It makes me very uncomfortable to place a cap and effectively a dollar amount on what an impact an injury has on an individual's life.

It's an injury to the state that doesn't get the deal. And everybody else has to pay for that lost revenue.

It's an injury that I picked up from bowling a lot in indoor nets and, though I tried it out in nets on Tuesday, it's not right.

It's an inflammation injury that will settle down with a period of rest, we haven't been able to get him enough rest. I don't think it's a career-threatening injury, just annoying.

It's going to be a very good challenge, from all of the sudden not being able play due to injury to playing a team that passes 60 or 70 times a game.

It's going to be the doctor's call. Obviously he's very familiar with the injury and the progress, having examined him numerous times during the winter.

It's good to be back with the team. We need to get ready for the season. It's a big difference last year to now. I feel looser in my mechanics. Last year I came back from an injury and my body was so tight. It's hard to pitch that way.

It's been practically a year now that I've been playing and the knee has not given me problems. The injury doesn't really concern me. What concerns me is trying to win a starting spot. There are very good and experienced players in the back so I have to show the coach every day that I can and want to be a starter.

It's sad because it came back to haunt me this year, ... I came back from a wrist injury and a shoulder injury, so it's hard.

It's really hard for us to win these matches when we surrender half a dozen points due to poor match-ups. Our freshmen have shown a lot of poise, but we lost two valuable guys to injury in the beginning of the year and you just can't replace them.

It's tough with an injury like this because you don't know how hard to push it.

It's unfortunate that Jean-Marc incurred this injury this late in the summer. We had hoped to have him healthy for training camp and we looked forward to seeing him play with the big team during the exhibition season. Only time will tell now when he will return but we have no intention of rushing the process.

David has dealt with a hip injury of late. It will be important for the guys that he scores points for the team even if he is not feeling great.

Danny is as philosophical as ever. Unfortunately, whenever he gets an injury he seems to pick up a serious one.

Dane has had some injury issues this year, which kept him from competing for a good month. But he kept battling back and ended up doing a great job for us this weekend.

Damien had a scan this evening on the knee injury which forced him to come off during Saturday's match against Cyprus,

Considering the injury problems we have had, I am very pleased with this team. Most people don't realize it, but we recruited a member of the track team (Monique Bassett) to help us out.

Considering the injuries and the nerves those were solid decent times (Tuesday). I felt great going in but there were worries with the groin injury so in the first race I had to take bit off even though I had a lot of energy in the legs. I pushed harder in the second race and still I could have gone quicker but I felt I didn't need to.

The news on Ben is very good. We thought the injury could have been much worse when you look at the hit he took.

Then I started swinging around the hip injury and started hooking the ball 30, 40, 50 yards. I remember playing in Vancouver. I almost won the tournament playing a 50-yard hook. I knew that was it, that I had to have surgery.

The occupant compartment, or safety cage, of the Legacy held together extremely well, and most injury measures recorded on the crash test dummy were low,

That injury really got me down. It took a couple of months before I started to feel better, and my spirits picked up when I was able to come back and play baseball last spring.

That kid is playing with a torn ligament in his elbow and is playing with tremendous pain. He's just a warrior. It's an injury that would keep a lot of people from playing. But it's nothing he was going to injury any further.

It's something that we faced all year long with the injury bug, so we're prepared. We go out there with what we have. They are going to have to beat our best.

It's not a serious injury but it's painful. It's been a long season and my body needs a rest.

It's not anything serious. It's a lower body injury and he's in therapy right now.

It's not an injury that goes away overnight. Little by little every day it's getting better. Everything is fine.

Everyone is hopeful that we come to a conclusion soon but obviously you don't want to rush into anything, ... You seek as many opinions as necessary before making a determination. We continue to evaluate the extent of the injury and the options to correct it.

Everyone knew he was hurt, ... The main purpose of the injury report is to prevent injuries from being hidden. That part was no issue. He was on the list all week. He was listed for three days in a row as 'did not practice.'

The biggest thing that concerned me with the injury was the throwing, and I was able to get out there and throw pain-free and it was a good confidence builder.

The best way to deal with the aftermath of this injury it to eliminate the injury. And it's not that hard. Most people are struck either before or after a storm, and they're struck because they do the wrong things because they think the wrong way.

The average annual value of a contract doesn't bother me as much as the length. In a 5-year contract, somebody is usually disappointed. If a player performs well, he feels he's underpaid. If he doesn't, the club feels like it got a raw deal. And, with pitchers, you're dealing with the injury factor. You need flexibility. You need to be able to change your roster around.

Swelling could be an issue, so we will have to make sure we manage the injury against New Zealand and if the outcome looks obvious at any stage then we will rest him.

Taking it easy during the inflammation phase of an injury is probably the best advice.

It's impressive, and that's got to be the longest streak ever. He had to be injury free. It's hard to race all these events and stay healthy, not bang yourself up one way or another.

It's been kind of a normal injury pattern,

It's a new injury that came last night. I'm not fit enough to play a tennis match. It's a pity I can't play but I hope I can play in Guangzhou. Maybe now I can see the Forbidden City.

It's a new injury that came last night, ... I'm not fit enough to play a tennis match. It's a pity I can't play but I hope I can play in Guangzhou. Maybe now I can see the Forbidden City.

It's amazing that Jenna made all-league last year in the first place because she played the whole season with a stress fracture. To make all-league in spite of her injury was amazing.

It's always some freak injury that seems to happen with us.

It'll be a game-time decision. He has a little rust on him, but he's throwing the ball all around the place. The injury turned out to be not as bad as we originally thought.
