I always tell my dad he was training me to be a pro before he even knew it.
Aaron Donald
Anytime you're rewarded for the success you have, you're going to be happy because you put the body of work in. A lot of hard work. A lot of training. A lot of things you do behind the scenes.
Fighting for a job - that's been my mindset every Spring Training.
Aaron Judge
Being a midfielder, I need to get up and down, whether it's to get back and defend or get away from my opposite number. Extra effort in training makes all the difference.
Aaron Ramsey
I give everything when I'm on the pitch. When I'm at the training ground, working in the gym or whatever, I always give everything I've got.
The worst position you are in is when you are on the medical bed, and you can't get out on that training pitch.
I think there needs to be modified penalties in training camp because there's severely modified compensation in training camp for all of us.
Aaron Rodgers
As you get older, the summer is less of a vacation and more of a training period by yourself away from the team. It's exciting for me. I felt like I've been really getting better as far as my conditioning every single season as I get older.
Providence was well aware what lay ahead for me, and my Capuchin training was to prepare me for it.
Abbe Pierre
In any business, there are facilities that excel at what they do and others that need improvement and further training.
Abby Johnson
Sometimes when you fail, it allows you the opportunity to grow more motivation and get more intense about your training.
Abby Wambach
The truth is, I've been on a team my whole life. I'm the youngest of 7, so I've been training to be an athlete my whole life.
When I came to Mumbai to act and it didn't work out for me for few years, I thought I will go back to training but casting room has been a great training space for me.
Abhishek Banerjee
For those with health conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, the rising cost of lifesaving medications is straining budgets, fueling undue stress, and forcing them to make difficult decisions.
Abigail Spanberger
To keep our region's economy strong, we need to make sure Central Virginia students and workers receive the training required to remain competitive and successful.
Central Virginia students deserve access to the best educational and job training opportunities possible.
It always surprises me when donors who operate successful businesses assume that just building a school structure means that a community now has access to education. When creating a business, does renting an office space now mean that you're producing goods, training staff and generating revenues?
Adam Braun
I started training when I was a senior in high school. I trained at the Combat Zone Wrestling Academy in South Philadelphia.
Adam Cole
I was in a mountain biking accident and broke my sternum about three months before my unit was supposed to deploy to Iraq, and it's such a close-knit community that the idea of not getting to go is hugely jarring, so I tried to get put back in training and wound up injuring it worse.
Adam Driver
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.
There were definitely dark nights when you're like, 'Maybe joining the military wasn't such a good idea.' But, in a way, it was the best training to be an actor.
I think some of my best theatre training has been in the Marine Corps. Not only meeting a bunch of characters, but growing up. You're in really adult situations at a young age, as far as being in charge of people.
At times you've got to be patient, and that's it. I just take it; another good training week, train hard and train strong, look to perform there and hopefully start at the weekend.
The more you're competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we're playing.
It's not just about training, it's about playing competitive football.
It's always good, even in training, to show the manager what you can do and remind him.
For the Olympics, I'm mostly training in the gym, so I'm running laps on the standard speed wall.
Every December I take two or three weeks off. After an entire season of training and climbing, my body needs the break.
I've never had problems about passionate motivation to just keep climbing and keep training and pushing.
I believe I can get faster because I have trained for it, and I'm doing faster times I've ever done in training.
I've been going to the same barber the last few years, and we have great chats whenever I'm in the chair. He'll ask: 'How you doing? How's the training going?' Just ordinary, obvious things, but then, like you do with your barber, you start talking about personal stuff.
Training is my drug. I'm going to be the best I can in and out of the water - train right, eat right - and that is the way it should be.
I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.
To combat the monotony of gym workouts, I started playing soccer. I looked at workouts as training sessions. My soccer training includes squats, pushups, resistance-band work, and sprints. Ninety minutes of running became part of my love of the game rather than a chore.
It's really nice to be able to go into the offseason and attack the training as soon as possible.
The whole goal was to get an opportunity to go somewhere for OTAs because OTAs in this league are extremely important, especially for undrafted guys and guys who are on the bubble. You don't get a lot of opportunities in preseason games and training camp, so OTAs are huge.
By the time the season's over, I'm ready to get back in the weight room and start training as far as getting stronger.
When you're coming into training camp, there's not a whole lot that is familiar. When you can grab something from it, it keeps you calm and helps you just play football.
I don't ever take an extended period off between minicamp and the start of training camp.
I first learned about kicking under pressure in 1996, my rookie year with the Patriots. I was signed as a free agent by a team that already had Matt Bahr, one of the best kickers around. To win the job, I had to show coach Bill Parcells that I could make kicks when they counted. That process started in training camp.
My training? I don't do weights. It's hard to believe, but I don't do weights.
Barcelona is the best education possible. Training with Messi is something I will never forget - he was always the last off the pitch and working incredibly hard in the gym. If he is the best player in the world and works so hard, who are we? You can have all the crazy talent but you need to work.
Players like Messi and Xavi are always hungry. Whatever the game or the competition - even if it is table-tennis - they want to win. We used to play two-touch football games after training and they would always be desperate to win. It taught you about life as well as football.
Messi could maybe get away with not trying 100% because he's the best player in the world. But he's the first at training. He's very professional. He was very good to watch and learn from.
As a big man you may struggle to get much height when jumping for a ball - but by training with your defender team-mates you can develop a technique for making strong challenges in the air, making defenders uncomfortable and work on taking the ball down.
Training to be a tough tackler isn't easy - you don't want to injure yourself or team-mates so it's crucial that you have self-belief in your abilities and strength.
Growing up in this post-apartheid era, the first generation of teens in South Africa living in this new democracy, I often found myself feeling different. I was often the only person of color in an otherwise all-white school. And within the Indian community, because of my training with an English acting teacher, my accent was very different.
I like training alone. Otherwise, I find I get too dependent on someone else for motivation.
I was a goalkeeper at Crewe as a kid but piled on pounds when I stopped training every day.
Any time I'm in the gym, I'm training my butt off.
