Italian football is just how I imagined it to be – far more tactical than the Spanish game which is based on technique.
You don’t ever want to be a mechanical basketball player, but as far as technique and things, I like to have certain check points in my shot, certain things that I can count on and think about. It kind of helps me to be consistent.
There are some big guys like Greg Hardy and Francis Ngannou. If I have very good technique, I might not still win because they are big and strong.
I’ve studied a technique called the Sanford Miesner technique, that teaches you how to focus. It’s mainly about daydreaming. And the technique’s really about imaginary circumstances. Using your imagination to sort of daydream about stuff. It makes you emotional in a scene.

Once you have mastered a technique, you hardly need look at a recipe again and can take off on your own.

When I first got into the league, I just used to run. Just run the route. Really no technique to it. I really couldn’t separate myself from the defender.
Be tough. As a big guy, it’s what your teammates expect from you, to be strong. Set good screens offensively and box out at the other end. It’s a simple technique. I learned it when I was little.
As I aged and I got stronger artistically, I really started to value my voice in performance – my ‘voice’ meaning my body, my technique, and my style. Then I started to really feel that flower as well. That’s when I started to feel like, ‘Wow – now I understand what my beauty is.’
I remember one day, Ekta Kapoor came to the set and scolded me that you don’t know how to act, why did we cast you’? She asked me to stay on the set till I learnt the technique of correct dialogue delivery. At that time I felt very humiliated.
You never stop thinking about technique, but really, the reason we’re actors is because of the sheer joy of those few moments you get every now and again where you’re totally present. The rest is just struggle and misery.
Centre-backs with good technique can move the ball forward, even when under pressure.
There’s a lot to being a weightlifter. People think it’s all brute strength. But it takes strength, quickness, flexibility, and technique. And it can cause a lot of stress.
I’m trying to enlarge what I do with my voice, not through technique but just through the sounds. I think we all make noises, and particularly when we get involved or emotional about something, the colors and the tones of those noises change.
When I broke my leg, I never thought I’d ever be skating again let alone be standing on a world podium. I had to relearn how to skate, relearn how to even stand on one foot again. I had to relearn all my technique.
I’m one of a few guys on the PGA Tour who doesn’t work with an instructor. I’m not saying mechanics don’t matter. But I play my best when I focus on staying in a good place mentally and keep the technique simple.
‘Phantom’ was for me an interesting technique of telling the story. You have one voice that it is in the present telling what is happening, and then there’s one voice from the past that’s also driving the story forward. And you know that the two story lines will meet eventually.
There is a sense that animated movies are suddenly a genre. I just don’t believe they are; it’s a technique to tell a story.
Visual storytelling combines the narrative text of a story with creative elements to augment and enhance the traditional storytelling process. By design, it is a co-creative process resulting in an intimate, interpretive, expressive technique.
I can act with either eye, but you’ve got to be twice as good as an actor to act with one eye. You need to put all your emotions just through one eye and really punch it out of that eye. I found it quite difficult to do at first, and then I found a technique that allowed me to act with one eye, which I patented.
I think obstacle courses in general are a blast, and I love the Green Beret one; I’ve done it – I don’t know – 20, 30, 40 times. I’m always trying to break my time from the last one or use a new technique to get through a certain obstacle.
Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don’t let somebody come in your space.

The star-jump technique – that is a big part of being a handball goalkeeper, and I brought that move into football. It is a very effective way of saving a chance.
Once I became number one, I started working even harder. I changed my technique, but injuries started creeping in – it was a big mistake, as I was doing something right to get to that spot in the first place.
If it’s fast, no I don’t have enough piano technique. In that case, it’s probably been done on some kind of synthesizer or sequencer. Then the score can then be printed out and so forth.
If you start to disrespect the character you’re playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it’s all technique. It’s like watching a juggler – you can be impressed by it, but it’s not going to touch you in any way.
I envy Jonghyun’s technique and energy, Onew’s voice, Key’s rapping skills and Minho’s looks.
To a degree, the West is reaping what it sowed from a major strategic blunder in the aftermath of 9/11 – the entire concept of a war on technique, that is, terrorism. Defining the enemy when fighting a concept was impossible.

Other composers have taken this particular technique much further than I in the meantime, with the result that the Law of Diminishing Returns has begun to apply.
Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven’t studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted – he’s learned technique by working with people early on.

On a narrative level, as a storyteller, they are a wonderful tool and technique by which to explore those hopes, those fears, those existential dilemmas that we all face from time to time.
I’ve always been excited by rotoscoping, the technique used in films like ‘Waking Life,’ which fuses animation with real-life emotion. It seemed like it was a process ripe for innovation.
After all these years of cooking and writing recipes, I am still amazed every time I notice how even the minutest of variation in technique can make a spectacular difference.
I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn’t know anything about technique or lighting.
I think more of my tennis is more to do with the mental side of things rather than technique or, you know, tactics or anything like that.
I have kind of a weird technique with zucchini. I cut it into small cubes; sweat it in olive oil, adding just a little oil at time so it crisps. Then I cover it with boiling water, not stock, which really brings out the flavor of the zucchini, add lemon, thyme, and serve it with burrata and a fried zucchini flower.
Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that you’re going to try to apply to them.
So many actors get caught up in their technique, and to be honest, I see it really getting in the way. I see them forcing things. I definitely do my best work when I’m free of that. But I think as an actor, I work really hard in preparing the roles.
My technique is different, and I am more spontaneous. I don’t like rehearsing.
Laced with a unique narrative technique, racy screenplay and top notch production values, ‘Lie’ is a new cinematic experience.
Since I grew up, I have never deliberately used any technique at all other than the physical shaping of my tale so that it more or less resembles what has been thought of as a novel for these last two hundred years.
