I've been around long enough to know that if you beat them 8-0, its extremely difficult to get the team to be focused the next night. And given the last couple of weeks ...
Ten years ago people were asking me to do just about anything and everything. It's one thing to get offered a job but it's another to be able to actually do the job. I guess that's kind of what my thinking is. It'd be great to get offered something, but I want to be sure that I'm able to do it and do it well.
We really tried to find where we had some duplication of services. It was one of our lesser-used facilities.
I was probably pretty frustrating to work with, because if I ever did anything wrong, I would just start crying. And it wouldn't be because I was hurt or anything like that, or because I didn't want to be there, I love gymnastics, but it was because I was such a perfectionist that anything I did wrong, you know, it just tore me up, and Steve dealt with that really well.
Gymnastics has helped me so much, how to be dedicated to something, how to work hard to acheive your goals, also to be organized, and how to try and balance my life out. I think it's helped me in school too,because it's kept me organized and I'm always striving for a goal.
My undergraduate degree is in business, so I'm trying to get a bit of a background before I go in.
One of the main goals of D.I. is teamwork. We really talk about this often during our practices. I always tell them to have fun and show everyone else how you all can shine in your very own way too.
She's got big-game experience. She's a little bit older and has maturity on and off the ice.
I'm not fascinated by one particular case, but by knowledge that I had no idea was out there.
We do have depth. We need team chemistry and discipline and tonight it went in. I attribute that to chemistry.
It was kind of a surprise that he did it when he did it, ... I think that we're both definitely ready to make that commitment.
Everyone here has always treated me like thier daughter. It doesn't matter who it is, and it was even before I won Olympic medals, it was, you know, when I was growing up, they knew I had a goal, they knew I had a dream, and they were willing to help me in any way possible.
It was a very similar situation. It was players that were unhappy and causing problems (in 2002). As a coach, you try to carry them as long as you can. There comes a point where you are no longer responsible to carry everyone.
Sweden is on a roll. They're well coached and they really believe now is the time. And Team USA, while extremely talented, only centralized after Christmas. Canada has been centralized since June.
