Jump Quotations | Page 6

Some members are pulling the blanket over their heads and hoping the storm will pass. For others, there is also a genuine belief that if you just jump in a spasm of reaction, you could do some things detrimental to a good deliberative process.

That could be part of the explanation, ... That maybe we did jump out there and then lose that edge.

That feeling that something could jump off at any second was actually part of the attraction.

My shot was bad until the eighth grade, when my coach showed me how to shoot a jump shot. From there I practiced my shot every day in the driveway.

My story for the players has been getting away from eighth and focusing on seventh. We are not worried about the Bruins because they have other teams to jump ahead of before they get to us.

Natalie is a junior that has worked hard and developed in the program for two years. She had a solid spring and is ready to jump in when needed.

My whole team was behind me and saying, keep shooting. Coach Smith was saying just jump up there with confidence. We know you can hit it, so anytime your teammates and coach say that, then it's going to inspire you to knock down shots so that's what you need to do for your team.

My whole mentality was similar to the Tiger Woods approach. I had a lot of opportunities to jump in training and competition. I focused only on improving these skills. Adversity and racing gave me confidence to get through it.

My philosophy is to stay with the normal plan, ... It seems if you jump in and out of a crop you might miss an opportunity.

My Mission is to always be creating...to take every opporunity to learn... to inspire others to be everything they can be... to love and be loved...to live life to it's fullest, drinking in every drop that God has poured into this journey for me. To play full on in everything I do, so that when I finally make it home I can walk through the door jump into God's arms and say, "I did it, Daddy! I did it!" - Terry Barnett

Liz is drawing a lot of attention from our opponents. She is a multi-dimensional player. She can hit the 3 and penetrate. The thing she couldn't do until this year was hit the pull-up jump shot, but she is doing that now, too.

Looking at how we can interchange runners in the relays, and with Dante in the long jump and hurdles, I can see us qualifying six or seven for state. Ten or 12 might be a stretch, but you want to set your goals high.

Looking for life on Mars is such a big task that we really had to start by building a knowledge base. We started exploring Mars with Viking by asking some tough questions, which led to more complicated questions and more exploration. We have to think of it like school. We start in kindergarten learning the alphabet and build from there. In kindergarten, we don't jump right into calculus.

Lindsey caught an edge coming into a jump and then she fell off the jump. The accident occurred because her legs split on landing.

Listen, I'm going to jump it. I know the route.

Listen, if they wanted to do this thing gradually I could understand that. Say you want us to wear slacks and a shirt this year and then next year add jackets and whatever. But to do it all at once is just more than I think is necessary. To just jump up and say wear suits or you get fined is nuts.

Little things like boxing out, not turning the ball over, ball fakes, pump fakes, things to try to get them off their feet. We have to play with composure. Our major concentration is boxing out, big time, because they all jump out of the gym. They're just very, very athletic, so that's our major concern.

I was very happy with the way the fight went. My opponent was very brave. Every time I hit him with a good combination, he'd jump right back.

I was upset with the pitch I threw and mad at myself because I shook him off and he wanted something different, ... A.J. came out and calmed me down a little bit. It was like, 'OK, jump back on the mound, and here we go.'

I was trying to rip the ball out of her hands or force a jump ball.

I was very confident she could hit the shot. I think more people are going to start honoring her jump shot, and that's when she will show the ability to drive past them. She's pretty deadly.

I was having trouble with my jump serve, so I went back to the float serve I learned from Brian (Beckwith). It seemed to work for me. I like to call it the 'Hissing Cockroach,' courtesy of Brian Beckwith.

I was getting a little jump in my shot. I had a little break taking those days off. I was kind of disappointed in myself taking those days off. I felt sorry for taking off Friday and Saturday.

I think I had a good jump on that one. Not a bad first day. Hopefully I was able to raise some eyes and show a little of what I'm able to do in the outfield.

It felt very natural right off the bat. It was really tailor-made for him and mine was tailor-made for me, so it was easy to jump into.

I tend to take things personally. But I can only take so much, and then I jump back. I have strong survival skills.

It felt good to jump on them in the first quarter the way we did. They haven't been scoring a lot on anyone else, so we thought we could shut them down with our defense.

I think she has one of the purest jump shots in the NCAA right now.

I think people are sitting back right now and not too eager to jump in. Alternately, there's few sellers. All in all, I think there's a fairly good feeling that the economy is improving and that earnings should be good. There's some stalling ahead of the weekend and all the earnings next week.

I think people underestimate his jump shot, and he can drive. He?s a nightmare for any team.

I think people probably sell him a little short on that end of the ice. He's got good skills, and he likes to jump up in the play. I could certainly see him on a second power-play unit.

It doesn't take a whole lot of leadership to jump on the bandwagon and criticize President Bush when everyone else is, too.

It doesn't make sense that Arizona's prices should suddenly jump up higher than California's, ... Arizonans deserve real answers.

It does wonders for us to jump out early. Our psyche is pretty fragile with our record in the past. When we can jump out and get a quick lead it just builds momentum for us.

I tell them I'm not. As long as I'm effective and the students consider me effective, I'm going to continue teaching. As long as a school bus comes riding by, I'll be willing to jump on it.

I think if he could look into a crystal ball and see the future, he'd probably realize he made a big mistake, because he could've made a name for himself and changed the way this whole league views him, just off this series alone. He has a great 15-foot jump shot and he's highly skilled. This could have been the series that changed his game around because, like it or not, he was going to play.

I think I'm about as ready as I'm going to be, ... It's a big jump for me. I've only run five ARCA races and it's a huge difference between ARCA competition and the Busch series. So, I just have to take it one step at a time.

I think I had a pretty good season, I improved a lot over the year. It's a pretty big jump from juniors to the NHL, especially now that it's winding down and every game is important. It'll be interesting if I get dressed for a game or two, a little nerve-racking.

I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early.

I think his first booking was a little bit harsh as well. To jump over a board, and as long as you're ... going to celebrate, you've just put us 2-1 up away from home, grinding out a great result, there's no harm in that at all.

I think his biggest improvement overall has been the ability to take jump shots off the dribble. He did that tonight. Also defensively he's become more of a communicator and not just a shot blocker.

I thought my girls were down a little bit. They weren't as intense as they had been in the past two games. The first-quarter jump for them was huge.

I thought it was a well-played game. We came out with a lot of jump in the first end, a lot of pop in our legs.

I thought it was time to jump into that Hollywood mainstream and see what the temperature was. And it was warmer than I expected.

Jump serves are good, but only if you keep them in play. No. 1 is a serving error. There's nothing worse.

Jump ropes, come here to the skipping stones.

Jump right into the Atlantic and just kinda relax,

Jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.

Jump now is my advice. Get 'em while they're hot.

Julia's made a big jump this year in her game. She is much stronger and is very focused. She knows it's her last chance to win a county championship.

It is easier to make a camel jump a ditch than to make a fool listen to reason.

I'm speechless. I just want to jump up and down. I'm glad for the coaches. Our defense was a big key in the second quarter (holding West McDowell to only one basket). We, as a team, showed a lot of heart and didn't quit.

I'm so happy everyone paid attention in the huddle. We had a secondary option, which was Melissa, and, fortunately, she hit the pull-up jump shot.

I'm sure Billy's telling his guys and they're watching tape, (saying) 'If you're not careful, LSU will board you and jump over you and jump over you and get easy baskets. I'm sure they're trying to eliminate those opportunities as we're trying to create more of them in that game Saturday.

Managing to jump from the triple kicker with such a severe injury, I gained much confidence at that time and I promised to train harder while back in China and try to taste a medal four years later.

I might be at the top level of sports cars now . . . but I can't drop down and start over. The next thing would be a jump to the trucks, Busch Series, Nextel Cup or Champ Car.

We need more jump and start believing we can do it. They played a great second period and it was very tiring for us.

We need a lot of things. I think we've got a nucleus. I don't think we're as bad as our record, but we're not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft.

We need a big jump there. Our team should be a plus-five rebounding team.

The ACL has little, if any, ability to heal itself, and if it's torn it now leaves you with a functional disability. You can't run, jump or cut.

The approach to hitting is excellent with these guys. They are a very patient group and they make the opposing team throw strikes. That's a credit to them. Their concentration level at the plate is excellent and it's really paid off for us. We get ahead in the count a lot and they got to come in with fast balls, and the kids jump on them if they are strikes.

That would be like us sitting in the kitchen for two hours with our mouths open waiting for a cookie to jump into our mouths.

That was very distasteful, our having to jump into something like that and retaliate, so to speak. I was very surprised that the special master came back with the ruling he did. It doesn't make any sense to me. But he did. And we lost a very fine football player.

That was a good stretch for us. I thought we hung in and hung in, and then we were able to put together a run there that helped us jump out to a lead.

That was before the three-point line. He was a tremendous jumper for his height. He could dunk a volleyball. He was a tremendous jump shooter and had a lot of great offensive performances.

That was basically lucky. I timed it right. That was at the peak of my jump when I caught it. That's about as high as I can get.

That was nice. Anytime you can get and jump on them right away, and get a lead, kinda gets them back on their heels and gives us some momentum, and gets the crowd into it.

That was more of a walk-through, fun house type of attraction, where aliens would jump out at you.

That was an incredible jump in performance for a race that she doesn't do that often. Maybe we made a mistake and she should have skated the 500 at the Olympics - just joking.

That's their way to control the tempo of the game, but when you do that you compromise your coverage, You have man-to-man coverage every play, and they can't do that all day. Teams will eventually jump out of it or we are going to be a passing team, because we can do both. We're two-dimensional.

That's the sort of thing the team needs to jump start you forward and gain confidence.

I was proud of them for battling back, but it's really frustrating. At the start of the third quarter, which is so very important, we came out and gave up three quick baskets. All of a sudden, we are down 13. That's really important to establish (tempo) at the start of the third quarter and not let them jump on you. That really hurt us. We spent the rest of the time catching up.

I was playing a little soft in the first half. I was settling for 3-pointers and jump shots. Coach wanted me to go to the hole more.

I was backing up until I hit the fence, and I watched it go by. I couldn't even jump for it, it was too high.

I wasn't pressing, but I wasn't seeing the ball real well and wasn't feeling real confident at the plate. That's what made me want to jump out and get out of the slump. I have been seeing the ball for about a week, so it was just a matter of coming through.

I wasn't expecting the grades to jump that much. They kept pushing him to do his best.

I wasn't disappointed with the score. I was just disappointed in the jump. It's the easiest jump in my program.

I wasn't as athletic as a lot of the other guys, so you've got to do the little things. You've got to hustle. You've got to box out because you're not going to jump over anybody. For me and (Lillis), getting on the floor and diving for a loose ball is as good as getting a dunk.

I would jump at the chance (to work at GW again), ... I really, really enjoyed it. It's what I was excited to do.

I worry that effective corrective measures will not be instituted soon enough. Climate does not necessarily change gradually. The multiple factors that are now destabilizing the global climate system could cause it to jump abruptly out of its current state. At any time, the world could suddenly become much hotter or even much colder. Such a sudden, catastrophic change is the ultimate health risk-one that must be avoided at all costs.

I worried more about that earlier in the season. I can't jump to conclusions after one game.

I would love to jump in there if I was ready. The most important thing for me right now is to rest, get my strength back and get my blood counts up.

I would love to go for higher, but I think 15 percent will be a high enough jump that the student body will recognize it,

When the ball is in there air, it belongs to me. I have to be able to come down the jump ball. That is what I was brought here to do.

We haven't seen Provo's population jump 50 percent. It's been just a few thousand.

We jump right back into the fire on Friday night.

You liked that one? I can't tell you what I saw. I had a good jump on it. It was third and one. People who really pay attention to the way I play see I make a lot of plays in the second half. You see a lot from body movement, from tendencies. Sometimes you see more in the game than you would on film.

You just wait for that phone call from your agent, basically. And that's the worst, because they always say, 'If you're sitting there waiting on that phone call, it ain't never going to come.' It's not an easy thing to go through, especially when you have a family. You've got to be willing to jump up and move to any other city and hope you get picked up.

You just lose your timing, and baseball is a game of rhythm. Guys are used to playing every day or just about every day. So to have 10 days off and then try to jump back into it is tough. Their pitchers did a pretty good job too.

You just can't jump back into the market with $15 billion when it rallies.

You can deal with some of the jump shots he made, he's been making them all season. But he kept making daggers, a dagger here and a dagger there. At the same time, we were digging ourselves in a hole by not making shots.

You can come across as a jerk. ... But that's the No. 1 characteristic we're looking for from guys on our field. Whether it's checkers or jump rope or football, to stop me you've got to bring everything you've got.

You can climb a mountain or jump out of a plane but can never tame a hurricane or tornado - that's for sure. It's one of the last frontiers that no one will ever conquer.

Wilma has very quickly strengthened to a storm with winds of 175 miles per hour -- that's stronger than Katrina and Rita. Although it's not on course to hit oil platforms, it's still a few days away and if there's a slight change in course to the west, markets will jump aggressively higher.

Wireless offers a way ... for them to immediately jump into the new world in terms of the information economy.

Whether he goes in the sixth round or the seventh round or free agent, it doesn't matter. He's the same guy. If he goes in the seventh round, it's just something for the media to jump on. My point to him was you can't be basketball maybe, football maybe. It's got to be animal or vegetable. Not both. He bought into that.

Whittaker drives so well to the bucket, and then he can pull up and hit that jump shot. He finds a way to slash and slide in there and takes it up strong.

We were 7-6, lost our best player and today we were a jump shot away from being in the Sweet Sixteen. I wouldn't do anything differently.

We do well when the games are close. The problem is, when we get behind too early and too big, we can't dig ourselves out of it. We want to keep it within striking distance and hopefully jump out to a lead.

We played great, especially for the first 20 minutes. Probably one of the best 20 minutes we've played thus far. All the four lines had jump and we had a lot of chances and we totally dominated the game. It's fun to play games like this and score a lot of goals.
