Rather than going through a commercial banking training program, at the first bank I ever worked in, I was the chairman. And it was my own money, so we loaned it out like it was my own money. – Gerald J. Ford
The manager and the fitness staff condition every training session. They plan it out week by week on what players need. If players need a rest, they will do that; if players need to work hard, they will do that as well. – Harry Kane
First, do enough training. Then believe in yourself and say: I can do it. Tomorrow is my day. And then say: the person in front of me, he is just a human being as well; he has two legs, I have two legs, that is all. That is mentally how you prepare. – Haile Gebrselassie
I come from classical theater training and when I went to college it was a bunch of kids that were hand-picked from around the world. I was around such brilliant young minds and incredible artists with incredible teachers. – Joe Manganiello
I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don’t lift to look good; they’re lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more. – Joe Manganiello
I’m always open to suggestions. I’m open to opportunities. Whether I take them or not, I don’t know. And I would only take them if I weren’t training, if I didn’t have a fight scheduled. I really want to keep my focus on fighting. That’s where all these doors are opening up from anyways. I don’t want to lose sight of that. I love fighting. – Holly Holm
I’m convinced my cockroaches have military training, I set off a roach bomb – they diffused it. – Jay London
Most companies overlook the most basic of all training functions: the onboarding of new employees into their corporate culture. – Jay Samit
The truth is that throughout my careers in both chess and the martial arts, I often knew that my rivals were more naturally gifted than me – either with their mental machines or their bodies. But I have believed in my training, my approach to learning, and my ability to rise to the challenge under pressure. – Joshua Waitzkin
My favorite outdoor activities are running, yoga, and functional training. My favorite indoor workouts are Pilates, kickboxing, functional training, and a lot of different exercises at the gym with and without weights – including TRX. – Izabel Goulart
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. – Henrikh Mkhitaryan
All the guys that entered The Groundlings, like Will Ferrell, already had incredible confidence, but I watched shut down women that didn’t even have a personality completely become different human beings because of the training. – Jennifer Coolidge
I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training. – Jackie Chan
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice. – Jill Scott
Having a human conversation is not something I’ve had any training in either as a comedian or as, you know, a human being. – John Oliver
I’ve enjoyed training again, I’ve enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I’ll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself. – Ian Thorpe
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. – Jean-Claude Van Damme
I think if you look at Andre then and now, you look at two different models. Of course it’s personal preference, I think Andre now is a great role model for the kids. He has started training differently than he was before, and so on and so on. – Ivan Lendl
Training a puppy is like raising a child. Every single interaction is a training opportunity. – Ian Dunbar
What is so weird is that young people who want to be ‘celebrities’ do not want to put in the hard work. They don’t want to do the training, go to drama school, read Shakespeare, try different accents and study technique. They just want to be famous. It is not just in England; it’s the same in America and all over Europe. – Joan Collins
A lot of the motivation for doing the ‘Make ‘Em Laugh’ on SNL was because I had just finished shooting ‘Inception,’ where there were zero-gravity scenes and I got into really good shape and was training and did all these stunts. Coming off of that, that instilled me with the confidence to do ‘Make ‘Em Laugh.’ – Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Winning the Olympics was an amazing feeling, but afterwards, it was a bit like, ‘What do I do now?’ So I lost a bit of motivation going back into training and competitions; I had so much pressure on me. I kept thinking, ‘I’m the Olympic champion. I can’t lose’ – being only 19 and having to deal with all that pressure. – Jade Jones
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. – Irvin D. Yalom
Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist: it reduces him to his fighting weight. – Josh Billings
Just as there are moments when the words flow and it feels like the easiest job in the world, there are many more when I think I have nothing to say, and my journalism training taught me that writing is a job, that you write whether you are inspired or not, and that the only way to unlock creativity is to write through it. – Jane Green
It’s less about the physical training, in the end, than it is about the mental preparation: boxing is a chess game. You have to be skilled enough and have trained hard enough to know how many different ways you can counterattack in any situation, at any moment. – Jimmy Smits
