Jump Quotations | Page 2

We're seeing the ball and hitting the ball well. We want to take advantage and jump on people early. We haven't been doing that and we're starting to do that.

We're seeing a lot of volatility, a lot of indecision as people bail out of stocks and other people jump in. We could be seeing the classic signs of bottoming, but we thought the market was topping for three years before it went down, so maybe we're going to be thinking it's bottoming for three years before it goes up.

We've tried to jump ahead of teams early to get our confidence and maybe shake the other team's. But Duquesne believes they're the best team every year, so we know they'll have their confidence.

We want to run, jump and throw to beat somebody. We want to approach every meet the same.

When he fell, I was the first one to jump down and help him. He stood up, his eyes just got wide and big ... then he just fell.

We were impressed that a young kid could make the jump from high-A to competing at the big-league level in Colorado. This was an opportunity for us to continue to build our inventory of young, major league-level pitching prospects.

We did have some people place high, but for us it wasn't as much about placing as much as it was about just competing. In track you can measure how fast you run, how far you throw, or how high you jump week by week. So we were just looking at having everybody progress. Our ultimate goal is to have everyone be competitive at the Big East level.

There are Poles who maybe say, 'I waited 15 years and did it legally before I got citizenship, so why should these others be able to jump ahead of the line.

There are some people who are close to him that say that he is just starving for attention and that's the way he gets attention. Other people said, look he's not working and he just feels like he should maybe get involved in politics, ... Instead, I just think that maybe he is jealous that I did jump in. I find it silly, because I respect his work.

We decided to be more aggressive and jump up and shoot it. I'm proud of the way we came back.

We thought we brought him along right, ... So happens to be all of a sudden now something is happening. I just think that's what we all understood, so that's what we did. That was the plan. We didn't jump to a conclusion. We had a plan and that was the plan.

We really kept with them for three quarters. But lately, we've have trouble putting together a good final couple of minutes. A team like Bearden will really jump on that if you don't play a complete game.

We really got up on him and kind of took him out of his rhythm early. We wanted him to have to dribble to his shot and get in the paint. He's a jump shooter. That's how he makes his living -- making threes.

We didn't want to get behind like McAuley did. We learned a lesson, I guess. We wanted to go out and get the jump on them so that we're not playing catch-up.

We didn't think Danny was going to give it up that easy. It was just a straight line drive and we'd rather him take a jump shot. A situation like that, when he has the ball at the end of the game, you know he's going to shoot it. We just didn't play the proper defense on him. I wish I was guarding him. I probably would have made it a little tougher.

There are a lot of expectations and a lot of people on the bandwagon now. (If we lose), they're going to jump off. But hey, let them jump off because they're going to jump right back on because we feel like we're going to keep on winning.

When I fell, I didn't think I would be in this situation two weeks later. My leg has made a tremendous improvement over the last 15 days. At this point, I can do about 95 percent of the physical training activities. The challenge arises when I have to jump or sustain more impact to my leg, especially while skiing.

When I did '21 Jump Street,' I felt like I was a part of something great, but on a very large scale. Working with people that genuinely want to make good art or good work or a good film, that's what keeps me going.

When I was 17, a neighbour I knew well died of cancer, and I became au pair to her three little girls. In circumstances like that, when you can't really help, I think it's a human response to do something beyond oneself. So I did a sponsored parachute jump for Cancer Research. It was exciting and ridiculous.

When I've had to score, if they leave me open, I'm going to try to make them pay by hitting the jump shot like I did tonight.

We settled for jump shots in the second half. We didn't play with the same composure the last five minutes.

We settled for a lot of jump shots. As soon as we got an opening, got a little daylight, we settled for jump shots. We pulled up instead of attacking the paint.

We settled for a lot of jump shots and didn't get to the free-throw line. We didn't get the ball inside enough.

We're just trying to be consistent with the little things that we do and continue to try and do them well. Last week I was happy with the fact that we didn't jump offsides and make stupid mistakes.

The pool has been a big help for us. It's a big benefit having a playground for the kids and swim lessons. At swim lessons, the lifeguards helped one girl who was afraid to jump in 5 feet, now she swims laps in 5 feet.

What we can do is take the core rate of PPI and combine it with last week's 5 cent-an-hour jump in average hourly wages and say that inflation looks like it is a concern, maybe not a problem yet, but a concern. And the Federal Reserve was justified in raising rates and may be justified in raising rates again in the May or July meeting.

We're happy with the jump we had. We've got work to do, but we're moving in the right direction.

This win might get us jump started a little now, ... We can enjoy it for one day then have to get ready for Frankfort on Monday.

When I asked him which leg he jumped off of in the high jump, he said it doesn't matter. I knew that if he could jump off either leg he'd be a natural triple jumper, especially since he has so much spring and bounce.

When I heard it was going to be torn down, I wanted to jump on a plane and go there and save it.

The only good news is that with margins like this, every refiner that can will ramp up output. There may be a long-term change because this storm has focused attention on the need for additional refineries. An aggressive company may agree to jump through the hoops to build the first new refinery in almost 30 years.

We were certainly poised to take advantage of other teams' inability, if you will, to act quickly in free agency. And now obviously the field's been leveled quite a bit. We're disappointed solely from a football operations standpoint that we weren't able to jump out there and take advantage of some players and opportunities that might have come about because of teams having to clear cap space.

We need to make a big jump in rebounding. We should be a plus-five rebounding team. Rebounding is more of an attitude than anything. We're getting pushed under the rim, and not carving out space for ourselves.

When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.

When Wayne came back from Italy he said one of their main problems was their defense wasn't involved in the offense, and that he doesn't want that (to happen) here now. He told us defensemen we have to jump into the play and play as a group of five people on the ice. Hopefully, it's going to create some offensive chances. At the same time, we have to be careful of turnovers.

The plan is to open high and try to jump as high as I can. After that, I go into a rigorous outdoor training session for several weeks to get a good base for the next couple of months. (Today) is probably the freshest I'll be for a while.

There are opportunities for people to jump in, if they like, and be painted. And that's one of the beauties about art: You can be involved (and) you can participate.

There are times, when if you're playing well, let's just play well from the jump ball instead of playing well eight or nine minutes into the quarter. I think it's a calling right now for him to step up and bring what we need -- a little more force and power and the ability to score in the post.

Like Coach Tice told me, I can't get out there and try to jump back in and try to run and get where I was, ... I've got to step up the ladder. So basically I've just got to be smart right now instead of trying to be who I am.

Life is a lot easier when you play badly and then all of a sudden you get in contention and win one. No one gets on your back. When you finish runner-up seven times, everyone is asking, 'Why aren't you winning?' It's much more fun when you jump into a win out of the blue. It's a much tougher game when you play consistently well.

Luke's more of an inside player on offense. He's very good on the offensive boards, he's shifty and tough on the baseline with pull-up jump shots.

Maggie Conlon made a huge jump today. If she runs like that, we can run with anyone in the state.

Lots of people wanted to jump out of the windows, children were crying.

Scotland have a system which is getting better, but it's players who win and lose games. Look at England. They have a system, but if the opposition players jump higher, tackle harder and shoot better, your system is in trouble.

Several schools are calling. They're just now getting around it. They're still focused on next week. After that, they'll jump on the juniors.

She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.

She was probably one of the first people to jump on board with our new system three years ago and really, what guard wouldn't want to run that type of offense.

She was coming to a jump. She hooked a tip, and that caused her to go into a jump off-balance, and she crashed off the jump.

She still comes to practice. She works out with the throwers. They do things she can do without hurting her knee. We'd love to see doctors OK her to at least throw the shot put. But we miss her in long jump and the relays. I've got no assistant coaches, so she's kind of my volunteer assistant.

She went into nationals ranked third last year. The long jump is one of those events you get 1,2,3 jumps, and if you fall on one of them, you're out. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

She's a terrific jump shooter and plays within herself. I think she's a player who probably is the reason this team wins a lot of games.

She's an awesome player. She is well-rounded. She has everything ---- passing, hitting, good court sense, an awesome jump serve. She needs to be a leader, and she will.

She's (Reese) been solid in her three events. Here again, another jump over 16 feet, the 200 was pretty impressive that she ran. She ran a real nice turn there.

She's got the best high jump, long jump and triple jump right now. And if she's not first, she's right at second - a centimeter or two behind whoever's first.

She's exceptionally quick and extremely knowledgeable. She gets a great jump on the ball and is very aggressive. We're happy that Henderson State saw in Bailey what we've seen for four years.

She's played club volleyball and softball. She's our defensive specialist. She's very consistent on the back row. She reads well and is very, very quick. She has a very strong jump serve.

She's come from our middle school program and she is a girl who has a lot of potential. She doesn't have a lot of speed, but she has great springs in her legs. We're going to work on her approach and form, and I expect good things from her. To go out on her first meet and jump 4-8, she's not far off from the school record (5-3) and she's only a freshman.

She's like a wall. She sits right there in the paint, so when you get a jump shot, you've got to have confidence and knock the shot down.

OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.

Some of my family and friends that have never even seen me jump before are going to be there. I'm absolutely thrilled.

She has the best nose for the ball than anybody we have. She plays real hard. It used to be take it to the basket, take it to the basket but now she takes jump shots and she made a few of those tonight.

She does whatever it takes to get to that next base. And she gets a great jump on the ball when it is pitched.

Since the demand will keep mounting in the market, the prices could jump more than 3 percent on a year-on-year basis in the second half of the year.

She's a great scorer when she gets going and we're going to need that. As you saw (against Darby), we have to put points on the board. If she's not scoring it really puts us in a bind. Hopefully this game jump starts her.

She's a great player who can really jump and play great defense. She's been working on being more aggressive on offense and you could see that tonight.

She's a great athlete. There are not a lot of girls who can jump like she does, and she's fast also. And she kind of has a quick first step. She can hesitate and go, and then get up in the air.

She is one of those rare individuals who gently gets as many rebounds as points. She has an awesome jump shot and when she wants to take it to the hoop, she can. We count on her for six to 12 rebounds per game, so when she gets a double-double, that's a Johanna game.

She is doing the little things like opting for the 5-10 foot jump shot which she can hit and she did a nice job for us on Tuesday.

She just started to jump again and in two weeks she'll be ready? I don't think that's realistic.

She just seemed to be doing everything ? hitting jump shots from the top of the key, controlling the offensive boards and getting the ball out front on the fast break.

Most people don't have W-2s yet, but we are starting to see them (customers) trickle in. People are trying to get a jump to get their money back as quickly as possible.

Mike's a better perimeter shooter than Tim. Tim might be the best leader I've ever coached. But they both play the same position and have great knowledge of the game. Mike's kind of old-school. He's a basketball player. He has long arms, a good jump hook, good fakes inside and a knack around the basket.

Mike Morrison did a wonderful job today with a pretty strong provisional in the long jump and an automatic in the high jump. We were looking for a commitment from our guys and they stepped up and competed better than we did last week. We're a young team and we need to be patient, but our goal is to get better every week and we did that.

Mike is such a great player, such a clutch player. I joke with him, because he doesn't jump very high and he's not very fast, yet he's still one of the most effective guys in the NBA because he's so intelligent. He knows the game, and he knows what it takes to get it done.

Molly had a great jump of almost 15 feet, but she scratched by a quarter-inch.

Milwaukee shoots a lot of jump shots and our big guys do a good job of getting the rebounds. We're able to make some long outlet passes and we have the guys who can get out fast. Then we're off to the races.

Mentally it always helps tremendously to get the jump right away. Of course, that helps the pitcher out too, knowing that she has a little cushion to work with.

My jump shot was on at the beginning. I came out, shot a couple, and coach told me, 'Don't settle.' They were really sagging off me, so I just tried to use my moves to get to the hoop and finish.

My knee is better today and I felt more comfortable today and I wasn't as scared as I was yesterday. But it still hurts when I land that last jump here and I have to be careful and really take each day at a time. I have six more runs to do and I really hope that my knee is strong enough for all six.

My love of performing goes way back. My Mom got me on Romper Room when I was five--It was my favorite show. But they couldn't control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I'd jump around and do my little flips and routines.

My feeling is that in her mind that if she meets people, they expect her to jump up and sing and dance and they want to see the Betty Hutton from the '40s and she doesn't want to disappoint them.

My first jump was a little bit disappointing. The second was a little bit better...but to be here is an incredible experience anyway.

One reason I'm hesitant to have the commission jump in is because we don't want to impede companies' ability to invest.

One of our goals is that we want to score first and jump on top and put pressure on other teams to perform. If we do that, we have a chance to be successful.

One of our big kids got hurt, so we asked Troy to jump center. He virtually won all the tips. As far as jumping ability and quickness, he was blessed with that.

Obviously we knew we were going to be playing a lot so we had to keep our shifts short. It's tough to jump up into a play and get involved in the offense because you just can't expend too much energy.
