Concentration Quotations | Page 3

To tell you the truth, I think our concentration on the field has been a lot better, ... Even in meetings it's been better, just because it's a welcome distraction. You don't have to think about whether your house is floating down the street. You don't have to think about finding an apartment. You don't have to worry about whether your spouse or your family is going to like their new neighborhood. On the field you're out there doing what you're good at and you're having fun. You don't have to think about all those things until you get back to the hotel and reality sets in.

When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties.

We've had troubles all season long and the lack of concentration towards the end of the game. Tonight we didn't show that, we played with a lot more intelligence.

The guys played with a lot more concentration and a lot more wisdom than we have at previous matches.

This was such a good test for our team because we had played tennis for 12 hours in the last three days and they were exhausted. But they seemed to save their very best for last.

You have to deal with those things right away. You have to get their full concentration on football. I'd like to be able to communicate even more with my players when things aren't going bad, but it's just like everything else in life. The problems take over, and you wind up chasing the problems. I'd say handling people is the most important thing you do as a coach. Dealing with people, really, is all football is.

Between then and now, the amount of material has grown in huge measure. This is a huge amount of documentation, none of which has been seriously researched before.

Believe me I was thinking about it. I've got the concentration span of a walnut.

Congress and federal regulators need to look carefully at the lifeless 'competition' their flawed policies have created and reject this merger.

It shouldn't be fooled again.

I've been targeting this game for Matt. It's a horses-for-courses selection. He's got great experience and an ability to control the forwards. Against France we've got to be right in their faces. They have a powerful pack that can be dominant if you let them play. If you let your concentration drop, or miss one-on-one tackles, they can carve you up. So we've got to be astute and squeeze the life from them. We've got to stop the band playing and get the crowd whistling.

The talent is definitely stretched a little thinner. In terms of the concentration of top 100, top 200 players -- it is spread out a little more. You think about going all the way back to Princeton, N.J., where you had the best 200 players in the country. Then, you went to two camps and now we're at three camps. I guess it's not all bad, because now you give more kids an opportunity to be seen. And we tend to lose sight that the game is supposed to be about opportunities for kids to get an education or be seen and do something better with their lives, as opposed to making it sane for college coaches.

I've managed to find the energy to maintain my concentration out there and stay focused.

Given the level and concentration of hacker talent at these events, I was more than pleasantly surprised they did not succeed.

That is a true testament to the intrusion protection and advanced security functionality of Aruba's wireless solution.

That's not unusual for a player to lose concentration if certain phases of the game go wrong for him. He put some pressure on himself to score. All players want to score as a part of their game. . . . I don't know where his confidence is. You either have it or you don't have it. It doesn't reside in your jockstrap or your brain. His confidence should be in his defense. That's where he plays and rebounds and hustles for us.

This acquisition will allow us to offer our customers services for every stage of the graphic arts production process. Cross-selling a more diverse range of products and services, including educational product development, catalog design and execution, as well as complete magazine publishing and advertising management services, will help us grow our business.

It's as important as anything I've ever done as owner. To have the next great big man of the NBA, it's very important for the team and the city.

We have a great team and great coach. And we have an asset that a lot of teams don't have with Yao in the middle.
