Sports and other forms of vigorous physical activity provide educational experience which cannot be duplicated in the classroom. They are an uncompromising laboratory in which we must htink and act quickly and efficiently under pressure and then force us to meet our own inadequacies face to face - and do something about them - as nothing else does. In any athletic activity we are thrown upon our own resources to succeed or fail in the face of a strong and immediate challenge. Sports resemble life in a capsule form and the participant quickly learns that his preformance depends upon the development of strength, stammina, self-discipline and a sure and study judgement.
We had 17 turnovers in the first half, and like seven of them came in those three minutes. They did a good job of utilizing their press on non-ball handlers and converting.
He's feeling the pressure from the growth of the Democratic Party, ... He's probably being more diligent.
They put pressure on us and got to us a few times. They hit us where we are weak.
There were a few things we had to fix and I guess that's why it is called coaching. He is a young guy who always gives it everything.

I just tried to regroup. The only thing I could do was put pressure on him and the only way to do that was to just keep hitting good golf shots. I was able to put together a string right in a row there that really put me in good position to win.
That's a bit of fun but then I shall put in the hard work. Under pressure it's become a struggle and that's something I shall have to sort out.
The difference is you've got a happy squad. We've had a little pressure taken off us. Frank told us to just go out and play.
I thought they won a lot of individual battles in the first half. They set the tone and tempo. The second half we did a better job of stepping up in some of the individual battles.
I think we've become adept at it. It has become our signature play.
I think what we're finding across the church is that people are tired of just writing the check for the mission. They really want to do it. We made a commitment to the city to put up 50 roofs over the next couple of months. We hope to perhaps complete 25 this week with the crews that we have.
I think what it can do for you is center you on the values your team has and make sure you appreciate and honor those values - and consistently honor them,
