When I went to WWE, the level of work I put out every night was just balls to the wall.
When I wasn’t playing with Barbie dolls, I was always playing with different kinds of balls, and my dad said, let’s try tennis.
I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven’t lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.
It’s fun to be there with the guys, to practice with them, arrange the balls, do this, do that, but when you play you can get some of this nervousness out of your system.
Politicians who wear little tennis socks with the balls at the back should not be taken seriously.
My first job was at Alfreton Town and the chairman backed the club. He wanted to win so it made the job easier. I then went to Halifax, where I turned up and there was no balls, no training ground, no players. I had the other side of it.
I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well and score more, and it will be a matter of time. Once you get back into that rhythm, you will start getting balls that drop to you in positions where it wasn’t before. I do have that feeling that it is going to come soon.
My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play.
When I was growing up, we would play a 10-over or 15-over game, and the asking-rate would always be high, and I would end up scoring 30 or 40 runs in 15 balls, so I built that mindset right from the beginning and still continue to bat in the same manner.
I ain’t no Kardashain, I ain’t Kris Jenner. We the Balls, welcome to the Ball era.
Often in Spain you’re winning 2-0, there are 15 minutes left, and it’s as good as over. You control it, and the tempo drops. In England, that doesn’t happen. They put another striker on, long balls into the area, free-kicks, corners. They push you back.
‘Balls of Fury’ was a 45-day shoot when it probably – hindsight being 20/20 – probably should’ve been a 75-day shoot with all the ping-pong action.
Maybe bring in sponge balls to learn the technique and gain that experience of actually challenging for a header.
In T20, batsmen are always going after you, so a good policy is to bowl five-six dot balls in your first two-three overs so that pressure builds on the batsman, and he plays riskier shots.
I’m focusing on being the best I can for my teammates – catching as many balls and putting in as many good blocks as I possibly can.
I first saw Arnold Palmer when I was just a kid and he came to Columbus to play in a tournament. I watched him on the driving range hit balls that day. We went on to become great friends.
You have to have a catcher because if you don’t you’re likely to have a lot of passed balls.
I am trying to be a lot more careful – and to not miss easy balls.
If we all had crystal balls, we’d all know which horse to back, wouldn’t we?
The last 12 balls you don’t have to think too much, just see the ball and hit the ball.
The more balls that I hit, it’s going to get better and better. Once I get a bit more confidence in my ball striking, that’s when we can get down to the nitty gritty parts of the game.
I try to pride myself in having really quick feet and being able to set up and throw balls in time.
We gotta play hard and leave it all out there. Dive for lose balls, take charges, just do whatever it takes to win the game.
When I started in the clubs, I had to work places where didn’t nobody else want to work. I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.
Yes, my life has changed in terms of the fame and the success, the number of eye balls on you all the time. I like to believe that it has not changed my ideology, the person that I am. I have people like Anna and my mom, my friends who tell me that.
I’ve realised I’ve hit enough tennis balls to last me a lifetime.
There are a number of writers who believe it is their duty to throw as many curve balls at the reader as possible. To twist and twist again. These are the Chubby Checkers of crime fiction and, while I admire the craft, I think that it can actually work against genuine suspense.
I don’t think kids should be heading real balls.
For me, if I’m just killing time, I play solitaire. I’m also guilty of playing Snood. I like games where I can shoot balls and match colors.
I’ve always hated the way Hollywood has portrayed accountants. They’re always little nerd balls, wimpy, afraid of everything. Growing up with accountants, I don’t see them that way.
I was 2 years old and already swinging bats and throwing balls.
Our fielders have to catch a lot of balls, or at least deflect them to someone who can.
The BBC is locked to the reading of the economy that is run out of Ed Miliband and Ed Balls’ office. They think if only you spend and borrow more money you can create growth everywhere.
I just love playing snooker. Every single frame is different. Not one referee ever sets the balls up exactly the same.
Love is something that is genuine, delicate and involves care, passion and attention, and is entirely different to gifts, balls, jewels and circumstance.
The album was very agressive. It kicks you right in the balls.
If you go off the Senior Bowl, that’s basically what I can do. I played H-back, I played fullback, I played tight end, I played slot receiver, I ran routes, I caught some balls, blocked, just doing that stuff.
You can put too much pressure on yourself. You can start forcing balls, maybe trying too hard. You make things too complicated.
Not only did I have to face the great Steve Davis for 10 years, Stephen Hendry came along, who attacked the balls. He was such an incredible potter with self-belief.
I was a good decathlete until I got with a coach that really knew how to train specifically for the event… I’d really describe it as like being a juggler; you have ten balls and you’re trying to get them all in the air at the same time.
All I can do is keep doing the best I can, and every opportunity I get, I’ll try to put balls in like David Beckham.
We seem to want one vehicle to carry people and soccer balls and hay bales.
When you have strikers who move a lot, and they give you the chance to play balls for them, it is really good.
When you go up for the rebound, you can’t wait for the ball to come down. You have to go get the ball at the highest point. That’s how it is in football. If you want to win those jump balls and those 50-50 balls, you’ve got to go up and get it.
What kind of woman irons her husband’s sheets? Even the clothes I wear, I just throw ’em in the dryer with some golf balls.
You know what never gets schemed or what never gets stymied? Going through your reads and completing balls.
Yes, hard is good. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on my knees playing with balls. I guess it was only natural that I became a catcher.
In Madrid, the conditions are always better for me. It suits my game: fast clay, high altitude, the balls fly really well.
I have matured in my shot selection but will not discard my style. I don’t believe in wasting balls.
I don’t like bowling on turning wickets because on turning wickets, most balls would just beat the batsmen. On flat wickets you can plan – when to bowl sliders, when to bowl googly.
My boys are Balls – they expect to win.
You don’t buy a Harley with your mind, you buy it with your heart and your balls.
I remember in my second year in the league, I dropped 17 balls and led the NFL in dropped passes. That made me the player I am. If I didn’t go through that transformative power of crisis, none of this would’ve probably happened for me.
I’m a bit of a shill for the Clinton Administration, which has its perks. I’m invited to all the inaugural balls.
While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
I started by hitting balls against walls with an apple crate board.
Back in the day, before I really started to work on defense, I would just take ground balls, whatever, a couple, and then I’d say, ‘OK, now I’m going to go hit.’ Now I spend just as much time on ground balls as I do on hitting.
I had to have some balls to be Irish Catholic in South London. Most of that time I spent fighting.
My nan tells me to eat her fish balls and not drink alcohol. I’d rather have the fish balls.
When I was in high school, I was doing a fashion show, and my House Father would host fashion shows at the school. He was great at it. He saw me and said, ‘That’s my daughter.’ The rest was history! We went to New York City to rehearse and go to balls, and I was in the ballroom scene until I was 17 years old.
I created a little thing with my hands, just to create a more consistent plane to backspin balls, and obviously growing into your body helps. It’s kind of complicated, more about starting the barrel flat and then creating a movement – flat to up, I guess – going towards the pitcher.
I juggle a lot of different balls and sometimes I don’t know how I manage to keep them all up in the air, but I do!
In Valdosta, Ga., during a mini-tour event, a player named James Black bet me $20 he could put five golf balls in his mouth and then close his mouth all the way. I tried it but could get only two in there.
