Mistakes Quotations | Page 6

We made mistakes and paid for them in the third quarter. We had our opportunities and we just didn't get to the loose balls. Guys get tired and when they do, they make mental mistakes. We just ran out of steam playing a good team on their home floor.

We made mistakes all game. We can't let just one play change the game.

We made mistakes all day. That comes back to haunt you when you're playing a good team like Florida and you're in a one-run game. You're probably going to lose.

He was missing his spots a little bit and made some mistakes with two strikes.

He was listening. I could see in his eyes he was recording everything. Mentally, he was so far ahead of the other guys his age. He's smart and calculated and mistakes are heavily punished here. Even the way he handles disappointment is right. He reminds me of Jay.

He's playing with lots of confidence and no mistakes and holds his concentration all the time

I agree with him 100 percent. Watching film everybody is making minor mistakes and I just think being half a step earlier, or being one step over the left or one step over to the right could change the whole outlook of the play as far as the other team getting an easy bucket or a wide open look.

He wants it so bad, he's going to make a statement. But when he does make a mistake and he does certain things, you have to take a step back and remember this kid was at Double-A. He's going to make mistakes.

He was a young coach just like a young player. You make mistakes. You have to find out what's the best way for you to coach. We have learned a lot from him, and I think he has learned something from us.

He did run him over, too, ... Wayne's a competitor. He gets frustrated about mistakes, but we are not down on Wayne Parker at all.

This was a game we felt like we needed to win. It's getting to the point where we're making the same mistakes over and over again.

This was a game that just went back and forth, ... There were a lot of mistakes, a lot of hard hitting, and it just came down to us being able to get the breaks when we needed to set up in field goal position.

There are so many mistakes to go around. We're a young team. We have four seniors and sometimes it shows.

There are so many elements now that's why people make so many mistakes.

I was just charging and came up a little short. I can take something out of it because I did ski really well in sections. It was just two big mistakes at the top that cost me.

I was in same situation last April at Clarks Hill. I was winning by 10 pounds on Saturday and had already won a boat. Then, instead of doing what the odds said to do, I went back and tried to catch another big fish and bombed out and lost the tournament. We tried very hard not to make the same mistake at Lake Murray.

Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, it had nothing to do with him facing us the first time. He's been throwing the ball great. It felt like it was going to be a tight game, and then I gave up two runs in about two minutes, before anybody's even sitting in their seats. ... I couldn't afford to make a mistake after that.

I wouldn't say it's like riding a bike or a walk in the park. It was a big move. I was making mistakes on little things (in practice) that can be corrected and will be corrected. It's all minor stuff. Other than that, I'm good.

Jake just made a couple of mistakes and like a good wrestler does, Blanton took advantage of the situation on the mat.

I would say maybe there are more mistakes.

I wrote on the board in the locker room that we're happy, but not satisfied. It was a pretty good win but we're going to learn from our mistakes and things we did better.

Just one of those days that every hit they had, they were all mistakes and they smashed him,

Just the way we gave up the goals, mistakes that we couldn't clear. It was like there were three different teams at one point out there. It was an all-around performance nobody played up to their expectations.

I take the same approach every time. Early in the count I'm hoping they throw me a mistake and that's what I feel like happened in the first couple of at-bats. It's really important when another team makes a mistake, you've really got to bury them. You have to go right after them and make those mistakes hurt. I think our team did a good job of that.

I take the blame for this one. Being a senior, I should be able to do more. . . . I'm not blaming it on that one possession (where he lost it). We were up in the first half and in the second half we didn't jump on them. I don't blame one play. Mistakes happen.

I think it's a day for American history because if we don't deal with the mistakes of the past we can't make this country a better place.

I think I saw our young team definitely improve. They made great strides. The turnovers were young turnovers. It is a shame we came so close and couldn't get over the final hurdle. The mistakes -- they were positive mistakes, aggressive mistakes. It is a learning experience.

I think it's going to come down to who makes the fewest mistakes. Whoever does the little things right will win.

It could be a good pitch for him if he can gain control of it to the point where he doesn't make mistakes that are hit. If his mistakes are down, OK. If he makes mistakes up ... I don't think he wants to walk off the field after getting beat on a changeup. But he can find places to use it.

It could have been better. We made some mistakes, but that happens. Once we got into the flow of the game, we played pretty well.

I thought we swung the bat very well. Good hitters hit mistakes. We were very consistent.

I thought when I got in the lineup down the stretch I played all right. We just made mistakes at bad times. It's got to be very frustrating for everyone.

I thought we were right in the game. We did a pretty good job to get back into the game, and then we made some mistakes. We can't have it in playoff time. We made crucial mistakes at times when we couldn't afford it.

I thought we were more disciplined than that. We made too many mistakes and had too many penalties and Steubenville did a nice job of capitalizing on them.

I thought we were more disciplined than that, ... We made too many mistakes and had too many penalties and Steubenville did a nice job of capitalizing on them.

I thought we were going to win. ... We made some mistakes but we played awfully hard.

I though we outplayed them in the first and second period. But you have to be careful against Victoria. If you make a mistake they'll burn you with an odd-man rush or a scoring chance every time. We made a few mistakes and let them back in the game.

I think the little difference was that she made a few more mistakes than usual and starting playing better too late in the match,

I think that's a fair assessment. When you're on a winning streak, it seems you can't do anything wrong, and even when you do something wrong, it seems that it's overshadowed by something bigger or better. When you're riding a losing streak, it seems you're always just one mistake from putting yourself back in that big hole.

I thought for 4-2/3 innings we played excellent. We backed down a little bit and they got back into it. We made some mistakes that we don't usually make. But it was nice to still win the game.

I thought both teams played extremely hard, especially on defense. The defenses put the offenses in bad spots, which is what you want to do. Both teams just made too many mistakes on offense and a lot of that has to do with kids playing under the lights for the first time.

I think you guys care about this more than we do, ... It's just the way things go. No matter what it is in life, you make mistakes and move on. So that's the same thing with whatever goes on.

I think with the experience I'm getting now, I am able to make my mistakes at a local level. I'm getting all of this wonderful experience that you can't really get out in the real world.

I think the direction of the program is that we're farther ahead than we're expected to be right now. We're just falling short on the mental aspect of the game. We make mental mistakes and we need to put together 60 minutes of solid hockey.

It is clear that a worker who has not enough food cannot achieve a good work output. I already said yesterday that every head of a plant, and I too at the top, was naturally interested in having well-fed and satisfied workers, because badly fed, dissatisfied workers make more mistakes and produce poor results.

I was definitely surprised at how open they were leaving us. We were capitalizing on their mistakes.

I was disappointed in some mistakes we made in the red-zone and that is an area we are continuing to work on this spring.

I was encouraged by our hitting and pitching today. We had a couple of poor defensive mistakes, but we put the ball in play and pitched well. We just had a couple of defensive lapses, which may not have been the reason we lost, but certainly contributed.

I was concerned after those first three games because of the kind of mistakes we were making in one-run losses to tough teams. Either we were trying to do too much, or we were falling asleep. So today I called them in and challenged them (in the middle of the game). I said, ?Apparently we?re headed back in the same direction.? You saw the response.

I was called at an early age to minister to young people, but unfortunately I ran from God. I was a PK (preacher's kid), rebelled against my dad and made some mistakes in life. I joined a gang called the Latin Kings because of issues I had with my dad. I had some behavior problems during this time and was out of God's will, but He guarded me and protected me until I got serious through His word and realized that there is nothing greater on this Earth than God. God's mercy was on my life. I owe it all to Him.

It is possible. I think that I found the key to skiing without mistakes.

It is sobering. You think when you come here everyone is the best of the best and they are going to do what they can to help the person next to them. Then you realize that everyone is human and they all make mistakes ...

I thought we defended poorly at times and credit to them, Van Buren took advantage. We worked really hard and played well for most of the first half, but made some mistakes late hurt us.

I thought we came out in the second half -- once we kind of settled in -- and played pretty well. We just made so many mistakes early that we let it get away from us.

I thought we played well enough in Washington, but again we didn't score the big goal. That was probably, to me, one of the toughest losses I've gone through in the way we lost it. I thought we made some terrible mistakes on the (winning) goal. ... As a coach, it was a tough one to eat.

I thought we played terrific defense and well enough offensively. I think we can play a little better offensively but defensively, except for a few mistakes on the perimeter, we were solid.

I thought we played really hard. Highland got after us defensively and pressured us. We made some mistakes with the ball and they were able to capitalize off of that.

I thought we played not good at all for the most part. We made mistakes, and they were big ones. If you do that, you're going to lose, and that's what happened.

I thought we played hard tonight. We kind of had a pop to our step most of the game. We made too many mistakes and missed too many shots.

I thought we played hard. I thought that maybe we had a few mistakes in the first period. I thought the second period was outstanding. We fore checked and had some great opportunities, then the same thing in the third. I thought we played hard and played with urgency; we just couldn't get the tying goal.

I thought we played hard in the game, but we made a lot of mistakes. But despite our mistakes, we still had a chance to win the game, but Brenham hit a tough shot on us.

I thought we played fairly well in the first half. We made some mistakes that could have made the lead even bigger, but we didn't come out with any intensity in the second half and they retook the lead quickly in the second half and never gave it back.

I thought we had an opportunity of winning this, but a few things would have to happen. It really did develop that way. ... I saw mistakes by Boise State and Southern Utah and felt the door was open for us to win.

I thought we did well against a good pitching performance by them. We just made some mistakes, and when you make mistakes in a close game, it ends up hurting you.

I thought we didn't play well early. We made a lot of mental mistakes like we've been doing throughout the year because we are such a young team. We keep hoping that we are going to learn from those mistakes. (Sunday) we were able to overcome those mistakes. We kept fighting and there's no quit in these guys.

I thought we played a good game. It was fairly even most of the way. I think their speed got us in the end, though. We have such a young team, we're bound to make a mistake here and there. We made basically two mistakes all night and they took advantage of both of them.

I thought we outplayed them and really should have won, but we made some careless mistakes that cost us.

I thought we made some mistakes, we turned it over too many times. We forgot about playing inside out. You can't do that against a really good team, they're going to make you pay.

I thought we made some bad decisions at times. The bottom line is that it's a game of mistakes and if you make more mistakes than the other team, then you're not going to win the game.

I thought we made crucial mistakes at times when we really couldn't afford it,

I thought we just gave in to fatigue at the end. We made a lot of careless mistakes in the fourth quarter. And Minnesota played well down the stretch.

I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.

I thought this was the most mentally tough we've played down the stretch and I think we learned from the mistakes that we've made throughout the year. ... We were the tougher team down the stretch.

I thought that everything was lost. It only takes one mistake for you to mess up your life. I thought I would go out of jail and go home (to Texas) and get a 9-to-5 job working construction or something.

I thought she still had a chance (after her imperfect program). I've been around a long time, seen a lot of mistakes made. I think it's obvious the standard of skating overall was not particularly good, definitely not as good as the short program.

I think we got better in a lot of spots. That's the good point. The bad point is the mistakes we made were fundamentals. You just can't have those.

I think we eliminated some of the mistakes from last week and that allowed us to do things differently.

I think we maybe underestimated our opponent a little bit. We weren't as focused as we needed to be and we made a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball.
