Our kids are starting to see what they're capable of. We had a good practice Wednesday and it carried over tonight.

We have an outstanding group of kids this season. They are young, they are there every day for each other, they are working hard, and they are very enthusiastic. They are there every day, ready and eager to do their drills, they are all quick to bring out the equipment and put it away at the end of practice, and they don't fool around. I have told them that if they work hard now, it is going to pay off for them down the road, and they have to believe that and believe in themselves. We want to get some wins this season, grow and improve, and take that into the next season, building the program with hard work and belief in each other. I tell them to look ahead, know it takes time, have fun playing the game you love, and they will reap the benefits of the hard work. This is a great group of kids.

Our defensive effort was good from the opening tip and that's something we've focused on in practice all week. We had a few breakdowns at Massachusetts, which was unlike us. It was a good week to focus on the defensive end. We created a lot of havoc, a lot of turnovers.

We're just playing well as a team. The kids work hard every week in practice. We're off to a good start but the season's really long and there's a lot left to accomplish.

Not bad at all considering everything we went through. I had what I had and had to make the best of it. We're trying a lot of new stuff and we didn't get much time in the backup car in practice. The Army car wasn't comfortable enough and we didn't have any time to work on it.

This game will be our second game in four weeks. We have practiced 5-6 weeks to play three games, and the girls are tired of practice.

It was good competition for her. She's been getting 5-8 in practice. We've been working 5-8, 5-9, 5-10. She's got no fear at that height. She's used to jumping it.

They're practicing whenever we have available fields. Hopefully every team gets at least one practice a week. It's the best we can do.

I told the kids that the game would be different than practice. I was concerned because there's always an uh-oh period when you haven't played in a while. They had more energy than us at first.

He is that good. He's a pretty tough young man and he's optimistic. He had one of his front teeth knocked out in practice the day before (last Friday), so we had to go find a dentist and get it fixed.

Sometimes it just doesn't go your way, but we have to find our touch again. We don't seem like we want to pay the price for the second and third effort. We're in good position, but not ready to maybe get a crosscheck to get a second rebound. We're not hungry enough, and that's what we're going to have to do when we go back to practice: Bury every chance and hope it comes back.

She comes every day to practice and works real hard. She's a great kid. She gets a lot of offensive rebounds and she's been learning the post moves. She's come a long way. She just fights for everything she gets. She's really a hustler. She's certainly been the backbone offensively along with Jess Donovan.

This is the ultimate challenge in bowling. This was the second time I have bowled in the Open, and I would like to go back next year. I feel like with practice and investing in some equipment, I can bowl with the best.

That's the best he's played all year. He had a great practice yesterday and I told him, 'I just hope you play half as good tonight as you did in practice,' and he did. He came up big for us tonight and we needed it, obviously.

The big thing is just how they never get beat. In pass rushing, they're always on. You never see them on the edge of somebody. You never see them missing a blitz pickup or something like that. I also try to pick up little technique things that maybe we won't have time to go over in practice.

Another huge step for our program is that we will have a rebuilt practice field that matches our game field. This will allow us the opportunity to prepare as a team under the most ideal conditions.

It was about 70 percent for wanting to go at night. With the way our hitters are swinging the bat right now, we didn't want them taking any extra time off. It's also nice getting under the lights to practice for once.

It'll be a learning process I'm sure, but they've worked hard in practice. I think they're enjoying what they're doing and they want to get better.

With those five, especially in practice, I just think they've run real well together and that gives us something to build on.

Players' feelings are hurt when they don't win during practice. And that's a good thing. That shows competitive nature. Hopefully, we can take that on the road and use that against Rockford in our first game.

We had lost some matches and needed to try something different. We were extremely hopeful and enthusiastic about the way he handled it. He just came to practice and worked really hard, to his credit. That's what a coach wants to see.

Alfred was fantastic at the Olympic training center this summer. We were fortunate to have him come and share his energy and skills. He is a marvelous defensive player and his competitive spirit infused our practice sessions with fire and joy.

Yes, the more I go through life I realize that there's really no separation between practice and art at all. The two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life.

I actually enjoyed running in the rain. We've never done that in a meet before, but we've done it sometimes in practice.

You get to really practice firsthand everything that you learn. And they literally kill you off if you make the wrong decision.
