Adds Quotes
All along we've been practicing very specifically with each individual player. If you focus on the specific needs of each player it adds up for the whole team. We're trying to build each player's game around their best skills. Our overall philosophy is centered on consistency first. You don't have to win every point.

Against Quotes
The weekend is going to be extremely difficult as we are playing indoors against three teams that have been practicing indoors all season. Overall, we are going in with nothing to lose, sort of the underdog attitude. I like this because we can play loose and that is when good things can happen.
-
Games Quotes
This group is inexperienced, but once they start practicing together more, I think the sky is the limit to how good they can become. We've won all our games not because of who we played but because we've played them all at home. It will be interesting to see how they handle going into this environment.

Became Quotes
This morning I was practicing raga, and at one point I was singing a long tone and I became very peaceful and still. I thought this is really the highest point of music for me is to become in a place where there is no desire, no craving, wanting to do anything else, just to be in a state of being to the highest point.

Catching Quotes
There was one guy out there with a football after a Saturday walk-through and it was Priest, ... He's practicing scoring a touchdown, catching the football, turning and running to the pylon in slow motion. The next game he catches a pass, runs to the pylon and I say to myself, 'I've seen this play before.'

Basketball Quotes
At Fork Union, Coach pushes all of us on the field and if you're not working hard, you know the next guy will just step up and take your spot. We all push each other and practice hard. Competition is something that's part of being here. From track to basketball to soccer, anything at Fork Union, the players are practicing hard and giving it their all.

Against Quotes
I told the girls all along that Salisbury, West and North, they're the best teams in the county, and some of those were 20-point losses. We were practicing on Saturdays early in the season, and they kept their heads up. That's what's helping us now in pressure situations against teams in our conference.

Against Quotes
For me, I started thinking about next year there in the fourth. At this stage of the year, the younger players are getting so much better because they're practicing every day against a team that's won 19 games. That's a wonderful thing to be around. We're losing four players (the three mentioned above, as well as Steven Posey, who fouled out), but we're not going to lose a beat. We won't allow it to happen. The younger kids have to be ready to step in.

Bowl Quotes
It's always important to play in the bowl game. All you have to do is look at the other six SEC teams that didn't make it and realize we're in the top half of the SEC. It's certainly fun for all the college kids and coaches to be playing in December, in January. A lot of them are not practicing and wish they were.
-
Coming Quotes
It's going to be hard because we did have that weekend off. But the team has been practicing hard, and I'm sure everyone's ready. They've been skating hard. I think mentally we're prepared, and we know what's coming up and how important it is. And everyone has the right state of mind right now.

Anyone Quotes
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.

Date Quotes
It's primarily to get the kids in shape in an environment where they are actually competing, and it allows us to do that and not interfere with the other sports, mainly track, that kids are involved in. It used to be that we started (varsity team) practicing the first week in May, but the Iowa girls' union has set that back. I think May 15 is our start date this year and our first game is May 31.

Active Quotes
Doing nothing would stress me out. So I am still pretty much active practicing judo with my friends, who are former judo athletes, to maintain our fitness as well as the friendships among us. In my spare time, I usually go jogging around the Gelora Bung Karno stadium or head to the gym.

Against Quotes
The best part for me was realizing how much team chemistry pays off in the end. That is really what helped our team go all the way to win bronze. All the teams we competed against had been practicing together long before the games started, but we had an edge because we gelled together so well both on and off the court.

Few Quotes
It's wonderful, it's been a while. It's been a long time coming. Been in a few finals, but no wins. This one was sweet. It's always nice to win with a new partner. You feel like you get better together and work together. We've done a lot of practicing together. It's very rewarding to see that you get better as a team.

Add Quotes
It was hard at first knowing I couldn't get on the court. But I learned so much by practicing and watching the other girls. Plus, it gave me a good opportunity to get into the weight room and get stronger. I think that probably helped more than anything. I was able to improve my vertical leap and just add some muscle.

Carries Quotes
After Tuesday night, we had a meeting. I told them that there's no excuse for our pitcher getting 15 strikeouts and us not being able to get six outs without giving up some runs. We had been practicing kind of sluggish, and that carries over. But we bounced back Thursday and started hitting the ball. It was a good mental victory.

Basic Quotes
I'm going to be practicing my Chinese before I go. Probably just in basic conversation around the house. I hope to gain useful insight that I can bring back to my peers and community. I want to be able to share my knowledge about China with the students in my school and tell them about everything I learned.

Against Quotes
I never faced Pete (Sampras) in a match. I think from watching, his is the best serve ever. And he is the only guy that I would probably not take the bet that he would so often offer in practice -- he's down love-40, says '10 bucks, I still hold serve.' I probably wouldn't even take that against him. So many times he would come back and win. He would just put it on the dime. I also wouldn't take the bets when we were just practicing our serves, he put just a tennis ball can on the other side, and says, 'A hundred bucks for who hits more.' That's not a safe bet with him.
