Practicing Quotations | Page 3

Many people just don't know. We spend hours practicing everyday, even on weekends, to make sure we get a move right.

What we weren't prepared for was the spiritual darkness that was everywhere around us. We would be driving down the street and see a band of voodoo people practicing right there.

Having a season-best performance before the Big 12 (conference meet) is really huge. We are just going to keep practicing next week.

I was a little surprised we came out so slow because we've been practicing so well.

I would have to think there are going to be a couple of late games here on out. If we advance, we are going to be playing some good teams and there are going to be some late-game situations. We've been practicing those situations the last two weeks.

My client is a medical doctor, practicing in Grafton for the last 10 years. He's an American citizen, he's a major in the U.S. Army Reserve, and he was with his 71-year-old, diabetic, really sick sister.

Most of the golf instruction out there does everything but establish consistency on the course. It would be as if I continued practicing my typing once a week, but each time I tried a new style. One week I would hold my fingers over the middle row of keys and bend my fingers at a 90 degree angle, then the next week move to the top row and only bend them 75 degrees, and the next week over the bottom row, etc. At that rate I'd get worse and never finish a Golf Improvement Weekly.

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

When I was playing and practicing in that heat in July and August in Miami with shoulder pads on, it just vaporized me, ... Shula would always come over and look at me and say, 'Where are you? I know you're not here. You're just on automatic pilot.' I was up here in my mind, fishing in a stream.

It feels a lot like grass. I think practicing on it is going to get us more used to it than the other teams.
