John McBride Quotations

We're not going to lose Manual High School; I don't care what the board says. We're going to draw a line in the sand.

I am happy for my guys, especially about the combined of course. It was a solid, good performance, and it's good to see them cross the finish line.

I bet he was going 75 or 80 miles an hour right then.

Martina had this inspiration. The musicians were really excited about it because they were getting to play a bunch of music that hasn't been recorded in 30 or 40 years. She really knows what she wants and how to get it.

We haven't had the slalom training needed to get his equipment tested and his knee is a bit of an issue.

This year we had five very qualified candidates.

Everything?s fine. We were lucky, and we were lucky to have that place (the senior center) to go to.

The whole thing with (the TV interview) bothered him. I think maybe a little time off will help him gain perspective on the whole thing and why he does it and how important it is to him. What he's capable of achieving. Right now the important thing is for him to come into the Olympics on top of his game.

These are young guys you are going to see in the future. They are extremely committed and did a real good job.

A lot of the volunteers don't have any health benefits at their jobs. If they get hurt on a fire, yes, they're covered. But I think this would be a good way to get them some benefits. I think they'd like that chance to pick up some benefits. It may make the difference between joining and not joining.

It might be a good way for him to ground himself a bit. I think it's great he's with his brother. Not only getting away from the sports but putting everything in perspective.

It might be a good way for him to ground himself a bit.

For him not to finish as many races as he has is frustrating. I think this whole race-every-single-race deal - if everything is not lined up - is not productive. You have to back up and ask what is my priority? To compete at my best or just make another start?

It's cool that he's leading the overall, but he's so focused on the downhill title. The next month is super important to him.

There's young guys on both the speed and technical sides who are really starting to roll.

I hoped that yesterday's bad result would push my guys and make them fight back. And it did fire them up.

He's very perceptive, very laid back, works hard. He's very diligent about what he does with his skiing. He's a pleasure to be around, an easy guy to work with.

I'd say for sure the team wants to have Bode Miller involved with it.

He can be fantastic. He WILL be fantastic.

This is a gut punch for them for sure. Those guys are always pushing us around. We always feel like the little punk in the school yard so it's nice to kind of step on 'em a little bit. It doesn't happen very often.
