My uncle had been a basketball player in his day. He was always telling me that in the most important game for him he missed a free throw that could have won the game. He told me he felt bad about it. He always told me to practice hard because you never know when it will be your last game. You never know when the game can be taken from you. When we lost to IMS, I felt like I let him down.

It's getting a little better. When we went against Ohio State, we only had one, two days of prep. Now, I'm running it a little more in practice so I can get used to it, be more comfortable.

Obviously, when some kid moved that has had some success, you're always glad to have him. He really did some good things, especially in the last couple of weeks. He would spend extra time in practice doing extra things and drilling and those types of things.

He needs to lift weights, then basically continue to get better each day in practice. I think he's disappointed and he wants to try and get on the medal stand next year.

We can do all the drills in the world, but we have to apply it in the game. We look so good in practice doing them, then we come out in the game and it's not the same... We have to rebound. We have to box out on every play. We have to do the little things.

You get a chance to try the car and see how it drives. You just get to practice how it moves.

It's real hard to practice because you don't go live in practice, but we do wrap and do thud drills. You just have to work on it, and then in games it's natural.

Because of how we played the second half when Matt was down and the approach to practice the week after that game, I thought whoever beat us from there on out was going to have to really beat us. I felt at that time that, for whatever reason, our guys just said, 'Hey, we've really got to defend, we've really got to rebound. We've really got to play with a sense of urgency.' And I feel we've done that.

I know I feel good. We had a day off practice Wednesday, and having a week has definitely made a difference. I guess you worry that you'll be rusty when you play again, but I don't think that will be a problem.

We'll take that score. The girls played this course for the first time Sunday in a practice round. So for not being too familiar with it, that's a pretty good finish.

A guy that has played 100 Test matches around at practice and hopefully a good influence on some of our younger guys

He takes great pride in it. He's always attentive to the game situation, knows when we're going to probably crank 'er up a little bit more than normal based on the situation. There's no dialogue; he's there before I ever get there. Kind of like you see guys in the Home Run Derby. They bring in their own batting practice pitcher. There's a select comfort you get from somebody.

When I came back, I wasn't in shape. So I've done extra running after practice. I feel like I'm back in the flow. We're really clicking right now.

Like I've said all along, the most important thing for us to get the kids on the field and get them some experience. We have to get out on the field and play and practice, because there's something to work on.

Right now, this is our NBA. This practice could potentially be our last practice, this game (tomorrow against Indiana) could be our last game. It just makes everything that much more important. It makes you that much more passionate.

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.

We had a talk today -- all the coaches did with all the girls -- they started off not where they needed to be earlier today. So we stopped the practice, sat them down and had a serious talk. Then they finished pretty hard.

The thing that helps her is that she's surrounded by 10 girls that work really hard and just feed off each other in practice and push each other harder and harder. There's so much talent that they know that, if they don't do their best, they'll be passed by the next person and they all know that.

It was a request of the anglers. They didn't like it being a month ahead of time because they felt like the fish changed, especially at Toho in late February. If they were scouting at the end of January, the fish certainly would change a great deal by the time the Classic started. And, the pros felt like six days of practice was just too long.

We've practiced these type of close game situations, but it's tough to help the girls feel the pressure of games like this one in practice. We made a couple of mental errors, and they're a great hitting team that was aggressive when they needed to be.

Austin threw a great game and what can I say it was clutch hitting. Andy worked on some stuff in the cage and was swinging well in batting practice today. He got a hold of a couple today. I'm happy for him.

If every one of my players could be like her, I'd be very happy. She comes to practice every day, plays hard and does what the coaches ask of her. I can't say enough about that.

Every time we looked up to the scoreboard (in practice), it was up there as a reminder of how bad we got beat.

The key is to practice each week like you're going to play. Even if you don't play that game, you're still developing good habits, still fine-tuning your game, so when your number is called, you're able to go out there and perform.

Kids should practice autographing baseballs. This is a skill that's often overlooked in Little League.
