Practiced Quotations | Page 4

Any time you go on the road, especially when you've got an hour and a half bus ride, it's difficult. I thought we responded well to the bus ride, but made some little mistakes. They big played us at the beginning, then we were hanging tough with them. At the end, they just kind of wore us out. It's my fault. The boys gave a good effort. I've got to do a better job coaching as far as practice goes. I don't think we practiced very hard this week, and that's my fault.

That's all we've been doing this week. We practiced hitting the boards. We saw on film that they didn't know how to box out very well, so we worked hard to take advantage of that.

That's all we practiced against, was against a zone, because they went man-to-man the first two games and I was pretty sure they were not going to do that again. From the naked eye, you would have thought we were surprised by that.

Their performance in the triple jump surprised me. We had practiced that event only one day. But those guys are students of the events they compete in. They were learning as they were jumping.

Their defense was certainly stifling. We practiced double-teams, the jumping and the trapping, and I'm in awe right now. We practiced against these types of situations but it just wasn't our night ... they just played better than us.

I messed up. That's what we practiced all this week. My head just wasn't into it, it was a matter of not keeping my head in the game.

I kind of tried to forget about it as much as possible. I really doubted myself after the game, didn't want to talk to anybody. I got into the gym the next couple weeks and practiced free throws, a couple hundred a day every day until I made them.

I learned a lot from (Mason), watching how he practiced and his preparation for games. I think Mase is a guy that I don't know if I mirrored my game after, but I definitely mirrored my preparation and that kind of stuff after him,

I like Carter to play games in. I don't like the fact that we're at a severe disadvantage because we don't have a practice facility. I've virtually practiced every hour on the clock except midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. I've been in the gym at every other hour.

Information assurance, as it's practiced today, is not a science. It remains largely ad hoc,

In kobudo, I felt strong, and I put every last bit of energy into my kata. I'm (happiest) with what I did in kumite this year. I've practiced and practiced and kept getting better, progressing. If you have the right teachers to teach you, sometimes you have a breakthrough.

In June, we practiced five times a week, so I didn't really have a life then,

I knew for a while but I didn't want to tell anybody. We came out here and practiced with Spud and everything went great.

I like playing against them and we just went through their stuff and practiced for what they do. So we should be able to get ready in a hurry.

I'm really happy with the way we responded and the way we practiced all week. We created some turnovers early ... I think we did a great job of establishing the tempo.

I'm proud of the way we practiced and the way we played this week. This is an awesome group of kids to coach, and today you saw their passion and love for the game.

I had spent a lot of my life in other cultures. I spent four years in Indonesia. I traveled through Japan. ... I have seen theater practiced in these ways before: mask theater, puppet theater.

I had several scouts say to me at the Senior Bowl (in Mobile, Ala.) that the way he practiced is far above some of the other guys. That's what made him a good football player, and that's what is going to make him a good pro.

I'm not worried at all about Bobby. I'm not worried at all about Darrell. In the past, Darrell hasn't practiced at all with the team and come out and had the best games of his career.

I had a broom that I'd raise high in the air and the kids practiced shooting over the broom. I think it helped, because we weren't intimidated.

If you had asked me before the game, I'd have told you we were ready. After the game, I'm concerned. We looked like a young and inexperienced basketball team, and we haven't practiced that way.

In South Korea, short-track speed skating is the popular sport, just like the table tennis in China. The level of its young skaters is much higher than the youth in China, where the sport is only practiced in two provinces with about 300 registered skaters.

I have talked to him about his whole preparation about when he was going into the Slam Dunk Contest. He just said he practiced a couple of days before the event and then every day leading up to it and that is what I did. I have been practicing for two weeks just to get my routine down. I am just going to go in there and not shy away from it.

I hope it gets back to that. When we were growing up, guys my age practiced the outside shot or mid-range jump shot. These kids are practicing how high they can get up on the rim.

I heard some things this week, but you never know what the deal is. We practiced and prepared all week for those guys playing. Before the game we let our guys know the match-ups would be different.

I practiced well. I'm ahead of the game, but I really haven't been banged around yet.

I probably could have practiced today, but it was more precautionary.

In the previous few days we'd practiced the way we thought we would be doing it. But we just had to work it out with each other.

In the past, Darrell has not practiced at all, not even been with our team, and came out and had some of the greatest games of his career.

I never wore underwear - as far as fire-retardant underwear - before underneath my driver's uniform. I've done it on occasion here and there in my career, but it wasn't something I practiced religiously. That weekend, I took Steve Crisp with me and he brought along my suit. He had all that prepared. There happened to be some underwear in the bag. I didn't have a t-shirt to wear underneath my uniform like I usually do. I just usually only wore a t-shirt. And so I put that on my upper body, but I just wore my boxers. So my legs got burned and nothing else did - except I've got a little spot on my neck. It shows me I need to be wearing everything I can wear and utilize as much precaution as possible.

I just couldn't get into a rhythm. We couldn't get to a lot of things we practiced because we had a lot of three-and-outs. I kept my eyes on the rush. I didn't keep my eyes downfield.

I really believe that you gain confidence from hard practices and having success in those practices. Lately, Travis has practiced hard and he's had success. He's really come along.

He's sore. We only got limited minutes from him the other night. Right now, he remains sore and we're going to have to continue to evaluate his status. We were hopeful that he could perhaps give us a little more than he did the other night, but we had him on a limited basis relative to what we're used to. He's not going to practice today (Friday) and he didn't practice yesterday. Since he hurt himself against Florida State, he has not practiced at all. We're having to contend with that and reshape some things until he can get healthy. We'll continue to evaluate how he feels and hope for the best.

He's practiced the last two days. He hadn't practiced since August 22. He's getting close (to 100 percent).

He's practiced the last two days and feels good. I expect him to be ready to go.

He's practiced for two days, he's moved around well and, heck, we need him. We have a couple days before we get out there, and he wants to play. It's his senior year, man.

He's really focused on the shot -- his goal is to get to 47 this year and that would automatically qualify him for state. He has the potential to get to 45 -- 47 might be a stretch, but if he keeps working he can get there. He hasn't really practiced the discus much because his focus has been on the shot.

Get educated as much as possible in your life time.Being educated along with intelligence which has come with your birth lead to improvement of Wisdom that ultimately makes you to get rid of every questions and problems during this endless series of lives.That is a ground breaking task which has to be practiced through lives we have been passed,but at least we can give a try to understand the truth behind it.

I came here last week and practiced here and there were a lot of winds. Yesterday and today there weren't many winds, and the weather was perfect for me to play.

I couldn't get my legs going. I felt terrible. We practiced very well (Sunday), too. We didn't have our legs at all. When they got up by two, it was hard to get through them. It's disappointing, but we have to find answers.

I feel better about the defense overall today. I was getting a little concerned that things were getting a little too evenly matched. I think the defense ought to be a little ahead at this point, and the last couple times we've practiced it really hadn't been that way. But the defense really stepped it up.

I don't want to compare them, but this group has a chance to be special. We just have to go get it done on the field. They have practiced well. It's going to be fun to see what they do on Saturday.

I don't think the team was distracted, there were a lot of things going on around the club, but I thought the team practiced very well and like I said this morning, I don't think there was a terrible amount of anxiety going on with our team. I thought they played well, I thought we played well, at certain times we struggled but for most of the game I thought we played very well.

However, four of my boys practiced all summer and the difference was telling at the beginning of this year.

I considered (Friday) to be our first day back as a team. And I thought they practiced well. They went hard.

I couldn't be more proud of this group. These players deserved better. They practiced hard and their attitude has been great. It was a big reason for the victory.

I could not be more proud of her. I knew she practiced those shots for a reason.

He actually told them ahead of time. He actually practiced with one of them with a belt, how he was going to do it. He admitted sitting behind her (Winchell), choking her with a belt until it broke.

Her dance was affected a little bit. But she practiced all week, so we can't blame it on the injury.

He practiced yesterday and today, and we did not have him in any contact. We will see how he is at game time on Saturday.

He practiced well yesterday, ... If he progresses the way that he has and continues to move on, then there's a real good chance of it.

He practiced this week but no way were we going to scrimmage him. We'll determine more on Monday or Tuesday.

He practiced there some last year, and he looked fine. Only time will tell.

He practiced on his kicking and as you can see he got better at it. When he first came he barely knew how to line up to kick the ball and now he's kicking it 30 yards. That's good for him. I think he's doing a good job and I think he'll help us out in the future.

He practiced hard yesterday. He'll be ready to go.

He practiced all the way through, and that's a first. So it's a good sign. He's got a chance (to be ready for the regular-season opener).

For people who don't know me, I practiced medicine in Casper, Wyoming for 25 years as an orthopedic surgeon, taking care of families in Wyoming. I've been chief of staff of the largest hospital in our state. My wife is a breast cancer survivor.

All but one of the attorneys who made loans practiced at one time or another before Judge Neal, ... The one exception is a former law partner who did not practice at all in Municipal Court.

The first week, he practiced five days in a row, then we gave him a day off. This week was a little different ? one-a-days, now this. He knew it was coming. He knew it was going to be different. We're progressing him, watching him to see where he's at.

The guys played with a lot of passion. They practiced well the last four weeks and had nothing to show for it. I'm proud that they got this win.

The guys gave me a hard time about that. We practiced some zone in the middle of the season, just getting familiar with the responsibilities, in case we needed it.

A lot will be decided on Saturday. (I want) to see how our guys handle certain situations. At times, we've practiced very well in all phases of the game.

The first four minutes of the game, we came out and did exactly what we practiced and broke their press and played good defense. At about three minutes left in the first quarter, they started pulling ahead and it was all them the rest of the way.

And if he says that, I don't get that. I don't buy that at all for this game for these guys. We practiced well. We practiced hard. We had good energy. I completely dispute that. For the (Arizona State) game, I believe we didn't come with the mindset to fight and compete.

He does not preach what he practices till he has practiced what he preaches.

Here and there, there are some people who are supremely endowed, ... My memory goes back to Jim Thorpe. He never practiced in his life, and he could do anything better than any other football player I ever saw.

Ahimas is the attribute of the soul, and therefore, to be practiced by everybody in all affairs of life. If it cannot be practiced in all departments, it has no practical value.
