I really don't think about the Olympics, unless someone asks me. I try to concentrate on the (World Cup) races - they are the best preparation.

Janica Kostelic

We watched Miracle over and over. Also, we skated a lot in preparation.

Peter Elander

This expo will give us bigger trade and investment opportunities, because we've made better preparation.

Anoumone Kittirath

I think it's great that the governor is focusing so heavily on preparation.

Ricky Mathews

With Aaron, it?s all about mental preparation.

Russ Mcfarland

When you look back from your Olympic experience, you never want to question whether you could have done more. The one thing you can control is your off-ice preparation.

Angela Ruggiero

I don't have an answer. We are on a drive to win the game and we have five starters on the sideline. Right now, we aren't very mentally tough. We aren't doing anything different in our conditioning and our preparation.

Scott Martin

The education a child receives in high school is only enhanced by the preparation they get in the early grades. And technology is becoming important in that preparation.

Matt Resch

When we were engaged in the intensive parts of the investigation or trial preparation, I did not have time for anything else.

Michael Deaver

Our goal here is to help people prepare, not to panic. Through preparation people can gain peace of mind knowing they've done what they can do.

Christina Pearson

I liked the way he didn't just talk Xs and Os. He talked a lot about preparation, organization and delegation -- things that, with me just becoming a head coach, I needed to hear.

Kevin Palmer

I knew that I have the ability to do it, but was just a case of giving myself 18 months' preparation.

Bruce Scott

You learn discipline, about preparation, teamwork and succeeding.

Lisa Fernandez

Mistakes began with the preparation of the prescribed fire plan, ... Had those calculations been properly done, there would have been a larger background personnel and support (team on hand).

Bruce Babbitt

If we weren't prepared, and we didn't do our part, no amount of work by FEMA could overcome the lack of preparation.

Kathleen Tierney

We kind of know what we can expect, and we have worked on our mental preparation in practice because that will be important for a victory.

Olga Klimova

What is happening is not ideal. Sometimes nothing goes smoothly in the preparation for fights, and that is when you have to show what kind of champion you are and deal with whatever is put in front of you. This is just another obstacle, and if it does go to court then I will be as equally determined to overcome it.

Ricky Hatton

If I could do one thing, I'd send him a thank you for making me a better coach. There isn't anything left to chance for him as far as preparation. His physical and mental preparation are second to none.

Mike Hastings

Boy, the kids really got the job done. I'm really proud of the way we competed. Our preparation the last two weeks has been outstanding. The guys really put their heart and soul into (practice) and it paid off.

Bruce Burnett

Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

Denzel Washington

We're trying to teach them about preparation, and the greatest reward was they saw preparation get a positive result.

Frank Sheptock

Our preparation and work ethic wasn't where it needs to be.

Paul Coburn

I know my team has heart. The key for them to understand is preparation early in the game. Once they figure that out, we're going to be a good club, but you can only dig back from so many runs and have so many rallies.

Jay Novacek

I do a lot of preparation during the day if possible, because you never know how mealtime will go. Sometimes, dinner goes really well, we get to make it and eat it and nothing happens. Sometimes, dinner is impossible. It just depends on the day.

Capt. Joshua Valverde

A happy childhood is poor preparation for human contacts.

Colette

BAIT, n. A preparation that renders the hook more palatable. The best kind is beauty.

Ambrose Bierce

Overall we are pleased with the win. Our kids are eager to learn and will work hard in preparation for our upcoming games.

Jim Wygonik

We need to have preparation to win. A disciplined team will win more closer games over a period of time.

Jim Leyland

Everybody gets basic (preparation), then specific to their needs. We're hoping all students make a year's progress from where they began.

Rene Desjardins

We had good mental preparation before the game, but the first quick goal broke our players' confidence. They played their best, but unfortunately without goals.

Vladimir Krikunov

I couldn't find any other reasons but perfect preparation of Korea Skating Union for the achievement.

Ottavio Cinquanta

It's just an ordinary game, and we've had one of our better weeks as far as preparation is concerned. The kids know they'll be in front of a big crowd and want to perform well.

Tommy Felty

We're just getting ready in case. It's a lot of preparation. Hazel and Donna and all the rest, they all do damage.

John Willard

In the final analysis, these are signs of preparation of war and the government should be aware of it.

Harry Goonetilleke

We've been working hard in preparation for districts. This is when the big dogs get knocked off.

Trevor Carritt

There's lots of work still to be done, ... With as much preparation work as you do beforehand, integrations begin at close, they don't end, and so we fully expect several quarters of hard work.

Mark Canepa

Early planning and preparation is essential to staying safe.

Chris Vaccaro

I think the speed of the game is still really fast, but my mental preparation is a little easier because I am more comfortable with what we are doing. I think that just comes with the experience of it.

Kevin O'connell

It's just preparation. We prepared for half a year before these Winter Games. I have no words.

Eugeni Dementiev

I'm not trying to make every kid an astronaut, but I want kids to think about a career and the preparation they'll need.

Ellen Ochoa

My juniors are going to lead us. They were freshmen on the sectional team, so they know what it takes to win and what kind of preparation you need and the hard work. They're all good kids.

Eric Hagan

He's done everything he can to be ready. He'll be just fine. Going against our defense is probably the best preparation you can have for going against a team like Florida State, because the athletes are very comparable and the schemes are just as complicated and fast.

Eric Winston

But this is the final preparation before the Olympic Games. After the third minute, I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water.

Evgeni Plushenko

There are also many extra demands placed on the flag-bearer that potentially take away from the preparation (for competition) and which can be a distraction. A number of athletes choose not to take on that added responsibility because they believe their first responsibility is to perform at their absolute maximum.
