“It's always difficult, especially the U.S. Open, the last of the Grand Slams. It's always tough because you know, the season is very long. I really played a lot this year. Sometimes it's really hard to stay focused all the time because you're really tired after the whole season.” KnowsYearsLongSometimesHardWholeLastsDifficultToughSeasonsTiredFocusedStay FocusedSlam Author:Agnieszka Radwanska
“It's hard to pass up a pole vault opportunity here in Des Moines.

“I wouldn't say our relationship is always smooth sailing. In a fun sort of way, this publicizing of some feud has brought us closer together. I think it had to do with shooting an episode last season at a school. The students swarmed around him, and I'm walking along and feeling like yesterday's lunch. I was saying that was hard to deal with sometimes and he said, "Stephanie, you can go for it! All you have to do is play sexy." It was a nice chat, but the tabloids took it and made it out that I was jealous.

“And then God gave me insight: this was winter. It would end, in time, but not by my own doing. My responsibility was simply to know the season, and match my actions and inactions to it. It was to learn the slow hard discipline of waiting. It was my season to believe in spite of-to believe in the absence of evidence or emotion, when there's nothing, no bud, no color, no light, no birdsong, to validate belief. It was my time to walk without sight.” KnowsBelieveEndsHardLightActionBeliefWaitingMy OwnWalksEmotionResponsibilityColorDisciplineEvidenceSeasonsSightWinterInsightAbsenceMy TimeSpiteInactionBudBirdsong Author:Mark Buchanan

“In 1948, I began coaching basketball at UCLA. Each hour of practice we worked very hard. Each day we worked very hard. Each week we worked very hard. Each season we worked very hard. Four fourteen years we worked very hard and didn't win a national championship. However, a national championship was won in the fifteenth year. Another in the sixteenth. And eight more in the following ten years.” YearsHardWinningHoursPracticeFourWeekTenBasketballSeasonsFollowingEightCoachingEach DayNbaChampionshipFourteenUclaNational Championships Author:John Wooden
“We have a high ceiling. We're still young. We're still learning coach's system and we're still learning how to play hard every night. I think that's been a bad habit of ours the last few years.

I think if we keep pushing, we'll be alright this season.” IfsThinkingYearsStillsHardPlayLastsYoungNightSportsHabitSeasonsCoachesShakesPushingEvery NightCeilingsAlrightBad HabitsPlay Hard Author:Andrew Bogut
