I never ran with my dad. He was old-school. He had a whole different idea of training. He ran in steel-toed boots! But, of course, he’s proud of me and proud of the boxer that I became.
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice.
I did not defund the police as mayor. I increased the budget. If we want the best and brightest men and women to protect us, we better darn well give them the tools, the training, and the support necessary to be successful.
I think there needs to be modified penalties in training camp because there’s severely modified compensation in training camp for all of us.
The worst position you are in is when you are on the medical bed, and you can’t get out on that training pitch.
From the very early days of seeing patients, I noticed that many of them seemed to be concerned with issues of their mortality, and so the philosophy training I had taken began to seem rather important to me.
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people’s lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.
Never at any point did I feel like missing a training session. I was very keen on improving as a cricketer and as an international player.

‘The Custodian’ was my first film, and there were so many lessons to learn in that week. It was really fun, but for me, I look at it as a training film, and I’m not really proud of my work in it.
I work hard on the training field every day.
I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.

But above that, most mature adults can hold their attention on something for 45 minutes, whether they like it or not. But above that requires training.

I do a dance-based cardio workout infused with circuit training, and emphasizing strength and alignment.
My grandmother has always been my biggest fan, and she was my whole life. The only thing that kept me living after her death is my commitment to training. I took my pain out on the track.
When my marriage broke up… I had just put on 45 pounds for my ‘Shall We Dance?’ character. I had to eat 10,000 calories a day just to put on weight while training with Tony Dovolani. I basically stayed in bed for a six-month rotation of depression naps. Dance helped me lose the weight.
And then, when I went into the Navy, there was no choice. You took about half of the hours during your naval training as naval courses and the other half were engineering.
I just appreciate my team, appreciate my coaches, appreciate everybody involved, from my coaches, my teammates, the training staff… people in the kitchen at the facility, people who clean the building.
But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I’m so experienced in training – I’m actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.
Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training.
I had the training at drama school where I studied Shakespeare and Brecht and Chekov and all these period historical playwrights and I think that I responded to the material.

Panic plays no part in the training of a nurse.
Normally, I focus on my job and focus on trying to help my team and trying to improve every training session and try to be as a good as I can.

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.
I think training of better Youth Coaches is essential.
When preparing for a concert, I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons.
We usually use that mostly on the weekends because we have access to the range during the week. But I can tell you a number of times they have had a training holiday at Fort Benning, so nobody trains, and to drag him in is like pulling teeth.
For some reason in Spring Training, everything just clicked. You don’t try to do anything in Spring Training but get ready, but things fell into place.
I know in my training, especially when I’m building up to a big ‘max,’ I can take as long as I want to be ready for that lift and mentally prepare for it. In the contest, some of that goes out the window. When your name is called and the bar is loaded, you’ve got to go whether you’re ready or not.
Now and again there are a few cookies going around the training ground. If we have played a game I can afford to have one.
So much of our training focuses so much on the systems and how to operate the station, and not just the day-to-day life in terms of slowing down and enjoying the experience.
I got that nickname my first spring training camp with the Expos in 1974. Tim Foli, Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgensen started calling me ‘Kid’ because I was trying to win every sprint. I was trying to hit every pitch out of the park.
By the time I was 10 years old, my entire life was football. Training, reading, watching, even playing football on PlayStation. I was totally focused on it. I especially loved the creative players – the maestros.

Members of weakly religious families get, of course, no religious training from any source outside the family.
Races always are good to show where you are reaching in your training as well as to keep you sharpened. Every race, in my program, I put it in a special way like a ladder, climbing up slowly and slowly to the next one. I see where my training is, and that is like a test.
While I have served in public office for 30 years, my professional training is as a pharmacist, not a lawyer or an accountant.
I’ve always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn’t have a base I don’t really know what I would have done.
I really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.
America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.
Because I enjoy training, obviously what comes with that is if you haven’t been training, or you’re not feeling like you’re in great shape, then the last thing you want to do, like anyone, is to be seen by millions half naked.
The uneven bars make me especially nervous because when you stop training, you lose sense of where the bar is going to be.
I finally overcame my phobia, and now I approach flying with a sort of studied boredom – a learned habit, thanks to my learn-to-fly-calmly training – but like all former flying phobics, I retain a weird and feverish fascination with aviation news, especially bad news.
You can always improve your fitness if you keep training.
Thanks to my training in Balali village, I am rough and tough.
Balancing trying to be an athlete trying to get ready for WrestleMania, training twice a day, to everything you do at the office to remembering that you have a wife and kids and everything else – it’s challenging, but you just make it happen. In some ways, it’s no different than anyone else’s life.
There was a rule at Rangers, going back to the 1950s, that players needed to turn up for every training session dressed in a suit and tie. I was a teenager. You’d have been lucky to see me in a jacket even on a Sunday – it just wasn’t my style.
Federal funding for biomedical sciences plays a critical role in training the next generation of scientists.
Well, dojo is a traditional Japanese word for training hall.
