My knee has been fine. At first, it was hard because all of the tears were from contact. Anybody bumping me or anything made me nervous. I was more timid and shied away, and that's not me. Not at all. I'm learning to be confident and that I'll be OK if and when I play hard on it.
Lauren Martens

I really felt we had to get to the free-throw line by getting penetration inside, and in the first half I think we were too timid. We also needed to take care of the basketball. That's an outstanding team over there, and you can't win if you don't take care of the basketball.
Andy Johnson
At the beginning of the game, I was a little timid to jump out into the passing lanes because of how they play.

It's like I, Robot , when Will Smith had that iron on one side of his body. I know I'm protected, ... I'm not going out there timid. God forbid it to happen again, but if it does it'll be when I'm running 110 miles an hour.
Charles Rogers

I liked the way we bounced back against Delaware. I was more upset that we were sort of flat and intimidated by Marysville. It looked like we were wide-eyed. We didn't know what to do. Against Delaware we knew we were back on the track, but I thought we looked a bit timid against Marysville where we shouldn't have been.
Jerry Mcswords

Darnell Jackson
It's definitely not a panic mode. It may seem like a panic mode, but it was only our second pre-season game. If you start forcing things and pressing and trying too hard, more bad things are going to happen. I'm not going to go out there and be timid and not throw balls because I'm scared to throw interceptions because people will boo me. That's not how I play my game.
Kyle Boller

The resolutions passed at the last meeting produced a great effect out of doors. Timid people took fright at the idea of a shot weighing 20,000 pounds being launched into space; they asked what cannon could ever transmit a sufficient velocity to such a mighty mass.
Jules Verne
I think they're actually playing a little more relaxed. Sometimes they were sort of timid when they got out there (as starters). ... I think they're coming in relaxed and giving us a lot more. These guys come in (off the bench), they're like instant offense.

I think he will. He usually bounces back pretty good. The thing I like about him is when he does make that mistake, he's not scared to go out and make that throw again. He can usually make that throw. Other guys might be timid, but he is not.
Brad Hoover
This is a young team that tends to get tense. I want them to take more chances, but they don't want to mess up. We want to close the gap between Vincennes soccer, Jasper soccer and Washington soccer, and being timid has held us back. We want to jump in with both feet.
Breeze Schulze
The achievements of Apollo were so bold and our subsequent efforts so timid that the energy of those years seems like a youthful dream.
Buzz Aldrin
I want anyone to feel comfortable. That's why I have underwear in packages because some guys are literally embarrassed. They're timid. They don't have the personality to grab a pair of underwear and say, 'That's hot.' Some men do not want anything but cotton next to their body.
Chadwick Brooks
Happiness hates the timid! So does science!
Eugene O'neill
I've been teaching for 14 years and I've been on a bunch of field trips, but this, bar none, was the best. The biggest pleasure I got was seeing the kids catch fish. Even the most timid and shy kids were exuberant by the end of the day. It was marvelous.
