We started the session with this tremendously upbeat commentary in the press and a clear mind-set on Wall Street for the economy to improve in 2003, ... Lo and behold, the first significant statistic of the year underscores that point of view, so we're off to the races. |
We stepped on the field knowing we were playing a very good team in White Oak. They are a defending state champ that lost, I think, one player. We had a mental breakdown early, then another followed by another real quick. That just can't happen against a team like this. |
We take a lot of pride in earning the number one seed. However, we also realize that means all the other teams will be gunning for us. It is always a little more difficult beating the same team twice in a season. Hopefully we'll be up to the task of defending our title. |
We take them to another level of knowledge after the students already have some driving experience on their own, teaching them additional driving techniques and an understanding of what that several-thousand-pound hunk of metal is doing under the simple laws of physics. |
We talk to all of our guys to have the in-game awareness and to be cognizant of the game around you. You have to have the big picture. Also, when it is critical to make pitches and to not let the game get away from you. These are things that John has started to realize. |
We talk to Junior about staying focused. A lot of elite athletes, when things aren't going well they get sidetracked, but he's a great player and we said, 'Just keep playing, keep shooting.' We need him to do that on certain nights and he certainly came through tonight. |
We talked a lot about the beginning of the year as a team that we were definitely going to rebuild a lot and whatever we can take out of our season each game we were going to take it and apply it not only to this season but next as well. The girls have played very hard. |
We threw the balls up in the air and don't really know where they'll fall. But I'm ready. People have told me that you have to go to L.A. when you're in your 20s. But L.A. can be a soulless place and, when I was in my 20s, I was not spiritually fit for that environment. |
We tried to take away some of the things they really like to do, and the quick game is something they like, so we put a guy up there to take it away. Then we tried to just tackle him. If they threw the ball to him, he was going to get his catches — so just tackle him. |
We want the coaches to concentrate on what sport they were brought to Thiel to coach, the reason that we hired them to coach. From a monetary standpoint, we didn't think that it would be feasible to get a head coach with the necessary expertise to put in these programs. |
We want this to be an experience that they try, and if they enjoy it, they can stick with it. We do have a very good retention rate, and I think a lot of that is do to the fact that we don't lose kids because they don't get yelled at by someone who is not thinking well. |
We want to get back flying as soon as we can, but we're not overly pressured. We'll do that at the right time. This is a small investment to get back a tremendous capability and that is to complete the International Space Station (and) prepare ourselves for exploration. |
We want to make sure that voters can trust that our elections are fair, especially following the problems that were nationally reported with deceased or fictional names being used to vote in St. Louis. This legislation will help make it easy to vote, but tough to cheat. |
We want to offer our fans and the members of MYSA a way to help out the victims of this disaster. We are expecting a large crowd Saturday and we know that if everybody brings a donation, the soccer community can make an impact in the relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina. |
