Brandon Bates

At our first team meeting, he handed out binders that detailed daily workouts from the fall to the end of the season. He emphasized that this team would not be a joke and that we'd better be here to wrestle, and if not, he would find someone else to. His organization and motivation has really helped us.

Jim Crumlish

I want to take the benefits of what I'm doing now, and offer it to as many people as can hear it. You don't have to submit to having an unhealthy life. You can fight obesity by making your workouts fun to do. Get your body outside on skates. For all those people who have seen New Year's resolutions fall by the wayside, this is an alternative.

David Miles

Goalkeeper is a specialized position, and goalkeepers need the specific training that they can get from Mike. To have somebody that can take the goalkeepers aside and give them some goalkeeper workouts, so to speak, is very important to their development and our game's development. The way it stands now, having Danny and Drew spending some time with Mike each and every day is a benefit to them.

Rudy Fuller

We ran okay, but our workouts for the state meet took their toll. We ran decent times, but didn't get the places we wanted.

Al Knutson

I've been training with him a couple of times. I've been playing on the tour 10 years, and this is the most pleasure I've gotten out of workouts. You see the results. You're running, and a few days later you're faster. You're lifting, and a few days later you're stronger.

Sargis Sargsian

I feel sorry for Mike. But I think it's best he had the surgery now and get things right in time for the various workouts.

Cedric Humes

I just made the goal to step up. My goal was to fill the spot that Brice Murphy left. Another big part was because of coach and the other guys on the team. Coach was pushing everyone to get in the weight room, get to open gyms and to shooting workouts in the morning.

Kevin Kyle

I never stay away from workouts. I work hard. I've tried to take care of my body. I'll never look back and say that I could have done more. I've paid the price in practice, but I know I get the most out of my ability.

Carl Yastrzemski

He's been doing some more individual workouts, working a little more with me one-on-one, training a little harder, lifting a little harder. It's just that he's wrestling tougher guys this year. ... He's getting better every day. He definitely knows he's capable of winning every time he goes out there.

Dave Schutter

All players go through lulls and the real testament is what you do about it. Carly asked for extra workouts and has done more in the last two weeks than anyone.

Tom Marryott

I want them to continue to work hard and also be held more accountable for their actions. The training may be a little more intense but we want to focus on the quality of our workouts, not necessarily quantity.

Clarence Williams

As far as being in his doghouse, I don't know if I was there, but I know summer workouts were just a little bit tougher, it seemed like to me, than for anybody else. But it didn't bother me. It only makes you better.

Tony Ugoh

Last year we didn't play the way we should have played all the time. But with this new secondary it looks like the sky's the limit to me. New faces can bring togetherness, but it takes time. That's what these off-season workouts are for, so we can hang out together.

Gibril Wilson

He's had individualized workouts, so he's had to do a lot of stuff on his own and it takes good mental preparation to do that. He's grown as a leader on this team and he's worked hard to shave two seconds off his time that he had last year at state.

Carrie Bores

I can't remember the last time we took a break midseason like this. I'm hoping we can step up and improve where we've been. We've run tired early in the season, more so than what I would have expected. We've had some good workouts and we've lightened up a little bit. It's time for the kids to start picking it up.

Forry Flaagan

She's just a hard worker and a natural talent. She just needs to keep her work ethic up. We'll give her the workouts, and she'll hit the times like I know she will.

Trinity Morgan

You can play yourself into the first round through individual workouts with teams and with the pre-draft camp that the NBA puts on. My goal is to play myself into the first round and get a first round guarantee. If not, I'm coming back to school.

Morris Almond

He was asked to come to some workouts and they liked him and offered him a scholarship.

Scott Justus

In my mind, we were preparing not to have him since workouts in the spring. If we did have him, it would have been a bonus.

Bob Bratkowski

I am extremely disappointed with this performance and the results showed a lack of commitment, discipline and responsibility on the mat by many of our wrestlers. We have two morning workouts a week specifically for conditioning and when kids don't bother to show up and then get gassed in matches and lose, it is all a reflection of their lack of being willing to do the work.

Robert Arballo

I think in her mind if she could get away with being the top 100-meter runner, that would be her desire. Workouts have never really been her forte. It's not really where she's at.

Mike Gruber

She's going to have to start working harder if she wants to get to her potential. It's hard to work that hard. She has to push herself in practice. We put her through grueling workouts today. They were hard on her ... but she hit all her times.

Trinity Morgan

Her workouts were what really got my attention. She puts in so much hard work all the time. She never gives any back talk and she does whatever she is asked to do. She may get burned out by doing the same exercises all the time but she never shows it with her facial expressions. She definitely has the heart to be a real competitor.

Jeff Scott

When we are on the road, our focus should be on maintenance -- squeeze in workouts, eat right ... and do our best to not totally erode all our good work.

Lisa Wheeler

The players and coaches are looking forward to this weekend's competition. Each player has been working hard this spring during individual workouts and has shown improvement. Team practices started this past Monday, and it was exciting to get all of the players together and practice in a team setting.

Kym Mckay

That's where Quincy can make a favorable impression. The thing about Quincy is he does great in his individual workouts, so whatever (the advisory committee) says, you have to consider that it's very early in the draft process.

Jack Ringel

Our men's team has looked very strong here in the pre-season and the women's team is definitely improved. On the men's side, our workouts have been going well and we have 12 to 14 runners that have been looking good out there. Our women are much farther along than they were at this point a year ago.

Sterling Martin

We've been working really hard, ... The workouts have been tough, the miles have been up there, and I think that pays off.

Chris Warner

He's going to run in the Derby as long as he's sound. He'll have some serious workouts.

John Adger

I get enough workouts outside of the games. It's more than the games right here in spring training. You can't take for granted what happens during the day. Hopefully, you get enough games. The last two or three games I've come in just catching. There are other guys that need to get work in. I know what my role is.

Corky Miller

A lot of work, ... Training at the IMG Academy in Florida - there's always someone there to work on your game, guys there to play with. I put a lot of shots up - my arm still hurts! Workouts were different every day, but I'm sure I shot over 1,000 (a day). I shot three times a day and played. Three-pointers too.

Sebastian Telfair

She's demolished some of her teammates in some of our workouts. It's a testament to how hard she's worked during the summer and how much better she's getting.

John Gartland

We have workouts for babies aged 3 months to 5 years.

Sally Crescioli

Of course, I played for Coach Andy Borland and I remember some 6:30 or 7 a.m. workouts. I can remember getting up at 5 o'clock and walking up here … it's a good thing; the tradition is there.

Jeff Sanders

For our first meet - and throwing in the fact that we haven't been outside a great deal or had a lot of quality workouts - I thought things went very good. Some kids stepped up and did some very nice things for us.

Steve Rice

At times it's good to take the pressure off of preparing for a race at the end of the week. With a week off from racing, we'll be focusing on the workouts.

Karol Hunt

The nice thing about having those three together is that they push each other very hard. One day one of them will be on, and the next day a different guy will be on. Even in the middle of workouts they switch back and forth and kind of key off of each other.

Todd Black

She helped me understand the nutritional aspect of my diet and the timing of eating in respect to my workouts. That has helped me with my body composition.

Nate Whitaker

Depending how they take workouts some kids have a range and some less than others. Her range is more in the one mile than to the cross-country.

Cliff Robbins

It's nice to win the first one. It really helps as we increase the intensity of our workouts.

Marvin Smith

We don't have enough hours to train and devote to conditioning and workouts in general. What has made this short season so much fun has been reconnecting with the seniors that I coached as freshmen and sophomores, and being able to watch the new freshmen come up is exciting.

Gretchen Devroy

We talk about everything, like nutrition. He keeps a log of all his workouts. It's a father-son bonding thing.

Bob Pazitney

She's gotten stronger and is powering through hill workouts. Her recovery is quicker and she's become more mature and focused.

Rhett Hanson

Heather didn't have the conditioning before to pull off those type of wins. But she's worked extremely hard at getting better and had some phenomenal workouts.

Bruce Calhoun

We've been going at that tempo since we started winter workouts; we're kind of used to it even though we're on the field for 2 hours and 30 minutes (Monday). Everybody is doing something; nobody sits around. Coach is just trying to find out what everyone's talents are. Guys he sees that are good at something, they'll play.

Thaddaeus Washington

I felt like this group was capable of doing well. They're in the pool at 5 a.m. and they (usually) put in 10 or 11 workouts a week. When you work with a group of kids like these, you see how hard they work and how much they want it.

Paul Mielke

We didn't connect. It wasn't lack of effort. It was lack of preparation and passing the ball. They played hard, they busted their butt to win the ball, but we didn't play together and that's what we've been doing in our workouts. Our effort was there, but our team play wasn't.

Jim Bragg

My knee feels great and I have been working extremely hard to get myself ready to play again. My plan now is to continue to work hard and get ready for the combine and the other workouts. I feel like I am ready to play at the next level.

Antonio Cromartie

You seem to hear a different level of confidence they have. I'm not shocked at all, because I really think both of them are in a position, when I hear some of the workouts they've done, to do some scary things.

Geoff Harrison

What has brought unique, irreplaceable me -- out of all the possibilities of life -- here, now, to this? Was all my youth -- the paper route after school, the stolen moments in the back seats of borrowed cars, the football workouts, the cramming for finals -- meant to end this way, dying in a muddy paddy?

William Broyles Jr

I have a reputation of having a really bad race before a good one. I had some hard workouts before states and I was feeling the effects from it. I treat every race the same. If I blew up in a dual meet, same as at states, it's not a big deal. I would rather win a national title than a state title.

Dan Mcmanamon

I do my workouts in the morning, throw, and do my lifting, and go to yoga, and then come back and give Allyson a break and now she can do some things. I have no problem with [changing diapers]. I have a sister who's 13 years younger. I've done it all before. It's no sweat.

Will Ohman

I feel I got a lot accomplished in the (Development League) workouts. If I didn't say I wasn't confident before I went down there, it's not necessarily that I wasn't. But now I'm a lot more than I was.

Martell Webster

When you set a national collegiate record on your first outing of the season, you're sending a statement to everyone else competing in that event. Trey (Hardee) was healthy during fall workouts, and the work ethic certainly was there all along. It just all came together for Trey.

Bubba Thornton

With the workouts we had, ... I was a little surprised we played as well as we did.

John Erwin

They're young and they're just enjoying the sport. They're just having fun with it and paying attention so I think more eighth graders will come out for the team. Pus, football players who see what great shape their teammates are in during fall workouts will want to come out too.

Greg Zopatti

I tell my clients that workouts on the road are about breaking even. Do not expect the workout of your lifetime when you travel, it's probably not a reality. Just try not to lose any ground on the good habits you've established at home.

Lisa Wheeler

That was our first meeting, and I probably didn't do as well as I could during winter workouts, 6 a.m., running in the morning. I just kept fighting and kept working hard. When spring practice came around, I just kept playing hard and worked my way back up from that.

Sam Olajubutu

Kyle has really been working hard in the workouts and he's been running with the seniors, which is good.

Bill Boyd

Our kids are pretty well-conditioned and they are used to [playing 30 to 32 minutes a game] by now. Jody, Emma and Ashley all play close to 32 minutes a game. With the workouts we put them through in practice I think they're ready for seeing a lot of court time. They go hard all the time.

Mary Bukovac

I think whoever we get is going to be a good coach just because of this program and the reputation it has. We just stick together and keep going through our off-season workouts and just trust the people who are in charge.

Taylor Griffin

The summers are the time when you can get better as an individual. He didn't have that and he had to jump in and try to fit into a team right away without going through some individual things. He didn't even do much of the individual workouts.

Greg Gard

My workouts are coming along, but I'm not there. It's frustrating. I've got to keep plugging away.

Galen Rupp

The early workouts are kind of a pain sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. We didn't get beat physically at all (on Saturday).

Mike Carlson

We've had tremendous focus during our workouts. Bennie has done a good job of getting us there. The workouts have been vigorous, twice a day, everyday. If we're not ready now, we won't be ready.

Dwayne Slay

It goes from the very top all the way down when you're trying to restore things, and the football coach isn't at the very top. I've been to a lot of Memorial's workouts and their games the past couple of years, and I thought (former coach) Dean Colbert did a good job while coping with an overwhelming task.

Ronnie Thompson

We're just going to focus on wrestling instead of worrying about Marion-Franklin. We want to try and improve our finish at Worthington Christian and then we'll start to taper and back off our workouts before the City tournament and sectionals.

Brian Nicola

I worked there for a year, ... I'd taken the year off from school and was doing double-session workouts. I needed something to do with myself between practices, so I worked there four hours a day.

Amanda Beard

A lot of freshmen don't get to play. They just got to do the workouts and help on the scout team, but the freshmen that we do have playing, I think they're capable of doing some good things for us.

Sidney Rice

This tournament will help us see where we are and see what we need to continue to work on in spring workouts. Our main goal for the spring is to solidify our young defense.

Janet Rayfield

I'm not going to keep seven. (After spring workouts), we'll evaluate tape from every practice and move guys into positions where we feel they can help us a little rather than stand on the sideline.

Steve Briggs

Dustin has been a driven man this year. His work ethic seems to be a little better at the league workouts. He really looks motivated. He may not just go to state, this could be the year he places.

Reggie Roberts

I consider it more of a challenge than a risk. My knee is getting better. I will be ready for the NFL Combine [in March] and team workouts. The people at FSU have been great to me.

Antonio Cromartie

It's seems like every time, people want to see how I've come back from an injury. Considering I only had a month of workouts, I'm happy.

Matt Meinrod

I am throwing more combinations in my sparring and in my workouts - hitting the bag, things like that. My footing is changing a little bit, so my footing is getting a lot better, where I can let the combinations go fast and go rapidly, and a lot.

Shane Mosley

I was thrilled with both groups. I could not have asked for it to be much better than this. It is not like we rested this week. We had two workouts this week, so this is a good start, and we will be able to move forward from here.

Jason Dunn

We'll probably go through 15 or 16 workouts, then see where we are. If we have to, we'll work on Fridays, but the plan is to leave them open.

Barry Norton

I don't feel pain in my knee, it's OK. I don't have much power in my legs. Battling in the corner, I'm not so powerful like before. I must get more workouts in the gym. I don't have to rush it. I think one more game and I'll be good.

Petr Prucha

Being through workouts together, the Pre-Draft Camp, playing against and with each other for the last several years, ... the relationships are something that are defintely strong with this class.

Wayne Simien

I would think that they would look at him as a person with a little more authority than maybe they thought he had, as far as having a lot of input in the program. He's always been active in workouts and practices.

Gerald Myers

It's pretty fun. You get to hang out with NHL players. I'm going to be in better shape than I was. These workouts are pretty hard.

Martin Tuma

There were benefits in the workouts they had us in.

Chris Clemons

I think it's just a change overall in our program, the way we approached spring ball, the way we approached the off-season workouts, the way we approach practice. I think that plays a big part. How we work in the weight room, overall what we do in the classroom, what we do off the field, everything just has changed. A lot of that has to do with Coach Weis and how he's changed the program around.

Maurice Stovall

We've had some great pre-season workouts and hopefully it carries over when the dual meets begin.

Brenda Clark

First of all, Bryan knows what he's doing. He could be a college or pro coach. He's good. I've been to his workouts.

Anthony Sanders

The big thing is where to set up offices and where to play games. We want to make sure that the first two weeks (of workouts) we're in a facility where we feel comfortable.

Allan Bristow

[In a move Stone favors, the NCAA has modified the women's rules for the preseason workouts, increasing the individual skills time from two hours to four hours per week and permitting more than four players to participate at a time with coaches, meaning full teams can go through drills.] I think it's a great thing, ... You can build chemistry.

Lisa Stone

It went very well for the team. It was almost a lift, to start off with three wins gives us a big push going into our continuing workouts that we have and into our preseason.

Carlai Moore

Nathan has combined dedication, strength, and athleticism to get to this level. He's a talented athlete who is very dedicated to making sure he's in the best possible shape. He lifts weights year-round and attends other workouts on his own.

Jeff Pollick

She's been down at the pool every morning doing running workouts. She's done what she needed to do to get back.

Tamra Strano

Josh had a phenomenal season. He never missed a practice. He came to get extra workouts in. He worked hard and he sought advice from the coaches to improve and he showed up to every meet ready to wrestle for the team.

Bob Benincasa

I do like that rope. I've always been a bit of acrobat. It's something fun besides doing the regular workouts. The cradle's just a natural thing for me. To execute the cradle, you have to have great upper-body strength. I've been working on that.

Cody Irwin

We're hoping to have him back. He's going through limited workouts. But until he's released, we don't know.

Mike Beall

Practices are going well - they are working hard. We have got in some good workouts and made some gains but we are also getting a little beat up with the shin splints because of the hard surface and tight corners.

Aaron Nida

I think he would tell you he wasn't very happy with the way he played overall last year. He's worked hard in individual workouts, and I know he has some big goals for this season.

Cy Alexander

I got good two- to three-hour workouts every day out there (in Sacramento), ... It's organized like a practice, and we play full-court.

Andre Miller

We all thought it was funny when Caitlin said her off-season training for softball (at Marist) involves a lot of swimming workouts.

Marilyn Fitzgerald

If you don't put the time in now, the performance won't come later. With my workouts you can become successful. If you are improving day by day, and meet by meet you are becoming successful.

Ron Pope

Erin and Sarah ran 1-2 from the mile mark on. It's nice to complete that first race. Now we have some race times to gauge future workouts. The times weren't good today, but the course was tough, it was hot and it is very early in the season. I liked the effort that all our boys and girls gave today. I thought we did a good job of competing.

Coach Louis Gassmann

It puts you back on the water after being off the water for a month and a half. Sometimes doing land practice workouts gets real tiring. It kind of renews the spirit of the team.

Anna Brown

It's going to go right beside the 1963 banner. We started preparing for this the week after losing last year, and those 5 a.m. workouts helped up get here.

Terry Tucker

After the season, I always take some time off and then start my workouts. My body felt good, so I kept working out and my body continued to hold up. I'd love to get one more year in, but if I don't, I can ride off in the sunset.

Dorsey Levens

When they do a few workouts, they realize the elliptical machines are broken and there are not enough treadmills.

Peter Nielsen

But it's more than just the 40. It was the individual workouts too, the positional drills. I feel like I was the best at those too.

Johnathan Joseph

The key to all of this will be the communication with the pitching coaches of the teams involved. We want the coaches to know our plans so they can send their pitchers to us with an understanding of how we plan to schedule workouts and assignments. This will be a coordinated effort with a great deal of communication before and during the actual competition.

Marcel Lachemann

I didn't want to do spring workouts when I could concentrate on school. I'm still going to work out a little bit.

Eric Combs

In 2003, the South African adopted a regimen of twice-daily workouts to improve his fitness. His game improved significantly ... until he hurt his right wrist walloping a boxing heavy bag. 'I was thinking of taking out a little frustration on the punching bag, but I'm not a pro,' he said.

Ernie Els

We know how we both train and we just work together to get the workouts done right. As kids, we were just up messing around on alpine skis, just having a good time. We were just trying something different, catching air. We liked it so we just kept doing it. We were competitive the whole way, in a real good way.

Eric Camerota

Each class will begin with fun, physical activities, such as circuit workouts, a 'Mission Possible' exercise challenge, or maybe even a new variation of a game like tag. Kids typically have so much fun with these activities that they don't even think of it as exercise.

Emily Baker

It's his 35th year in the league and he still makes 100 percent of his workouts.

Ebenezer Ekuban

What makes Dave so strong is his understanding of training and willingness to pay the price He has given up the other sports and focuses on running now. It's a little too early to talk about what he's destined to do. Later on this season we'll have a better idea. He's doing some advanced workouts and we will have to see how his body reacts.

Ed Pancoast
