It's an incentive to try a practice. For example with chicken litter, you try it one time and if you like it then you're on your own next time.

When I had him in the Olympics in the summer of 2004, after every practice and after every game throughout the whole time that I had him, when he would take his shoes off, his socks would be red on the inside from the blood coming from his big toe.

Rohan said there have been dramatic improvements. Most of the infrastructure - the roads and water lines, for example - are back in order. They're working hard on reconstructing schools. The country has socialized medicine, and the government clinics are being rebuilt, too.

You play like you practice. That's pretty good. There it is. I'm going to use that example in the meeting. That's what he did. He got better, he got quicker, and he's throwing the ball extremely well.

Matt sets a great example with the way he comes to practice every day and plays through pain. It's to the point now that he can barely walk after games. We're all amazed and impressed by his dedication and determination.

We've been trying to simulate a lot of crowd noise. For example, at practice all week we've played loud music in order to simulate the chaotic environment. All season long we've played better on the road than we have at U-Hall. Sometimes there's not as much pressure on you on the road because there are no classmates or friends in the stands, and hopefully we'll be able to continue that trend. We need to be able to handle the atmosphere of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
