TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said he has not had contact with LSU?and his focus is on upcoming opponent North Carolina.LSU fired Les Miles on Sunday, and Fisher is expected to be one of LSUs targets. He was rumored to be a priority target for LSU last season when Miles status was in limbo late in the year.Im not talking about LSU. No I havent [had contact] and Im not talking about it, Fisher said, Were talking about North Carolina.An LSU assistant beginning in 2000 with Nick Saban, Fisher won a national championship as the Tigers offensive coordinator in 2003. When Miles followed Saban in 2005, Fisher remained on staff before leaving to become the offensive coordinator and head-coach-in-waiting at Florida State in 2007.Fisher won a national championship at Florida State in 2013 and has 71-15 career record with three ACC titles. The No. 12 Seminoles are 3-1 this season.As an assistant and head coach, he has tutored four first-round quarterbacks, a position the Tigers struggled to develop under Miles once Fisher left.Fisher, in his seventh season at Florida State, said his focus is on coaching, and he isnt interested in listening to overtures from other schools.Im coaching football, said Fisher, who added he doesnt tell his representation how to handle interest from other schools but not to accept anything, dont talk anything, dont do anything.Houston?coach Tom Herman, also considered an early LSU target, told the Houston Chronicle nobody has contacted me.In addition, when asked about the LSU job by reporters, Louisville?coach Bobby Petrino said he isnt interested going anywhere.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said on Tuesday that he had not been contacted by LSU. Im going to be the coach at Ohio State, he said.Les is a legend, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday at his news conference. He has helped make the SEC what it is currently. Hes one of those guys.?Hes a great coach. Hes a great person. Hes a guy coming into the SEC that I looked up to. He always treated me great.After several high-profile programs dismissed head and assistant coaches Sunday, Fisher said its a shame college football is getting to that now.I think its the first sign of the [College Football] Playoff, he said. Theyre trying to turn it into pro football. If you start turning it into pro football, you better be careful what you ask for. Are you saying the season is over if a team doesnt go to the playoff? If I cant get in the playoff, a team tanks? You guys write the season is over if a team doesnt go to the playoffs.... Im talking about the big picture of this game. Theres a lot of things we all want, but at the end were not looking at the big picture and how it affects the game itself and the integrity of the game besides winning a championship, which we all want and Im as competitive as any human being out there. But think about the big picture of what you want to do -- not next year but five, 10, 15, 20 years down the road.Alabama coach Nick Saban agreed with Fisher.This is very similar to Georgia firing Mark Richt when he averages 10 wins a season, Saban said. I guess this is the time that we live in. Everybody needs to know that. But it doesnt minimize to any degree the amount of respect that we have for the job that Les Miles did at LSU and the great competitive teams that hes had there for a long, long time and the amount of success that hes had.You look at our league, and weve lost some legends in the last year with Mark Richt, Steve Spurrier, now Les Miles, Malzahn said Tuesday. Its unfortunate. Hes one of the best in the business.ESPNs Andrea Adelson and Greg Ostendorf contributed to this report. Air Max 270 Uomo Miglior Prezzo .

I remember the first time I saw diving.I was at my sisters swim practice at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre and I had wandered down the pool to the diving boards. Watching the divers soon became a routine. I would turn up for my sisters training hoping that the divers were there, too. But, it wasnt until I was watching the finals of the synchronized diving at the 2000 Sydney Olympics with my dad that my parents finally let me join a diving team. I was 10-years-old. At first it was just a fun after-school activity, but it soon became a passion.Shortly after taking up diving, I was accepted into the junior diving program at the Australian Institute of Sport in Brisbane. I accelerated quickly after that, and it wasnt long before I was competing. By 13 I was the national champion and Commonwealth Games silver medallist, and by 16 Id won an Olympic Medal.Over my time as an Australian diver competing at the Commonwealth and Olympic Games, I have grown from a young athlete learning her craft to an experienced diver leading her team into the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.These are just a few lessons Ive learned about myself, diving and growing up in such a competitive landscape.Remain Focused On Your GoalsAt 13-years-old I attended my first national diving championship. It was an important time in my career; I was in a program with three other divers and if you didnt perform you were out.The championship is a bit of a blur now. I was so focused on training, performing and maintaining my spot in the program. But I remember when one of my teammates was dropped, I overheard his mum on pool-deck telling people I should have been kicked out as well. I remember that day so clearly, thinking no, Ive trained so hard for this and Im not going to be kicked out.It was a stressful time. Id constantly been reviewed and analysed in the lead up to the championship and I knew I had to perform to qualify for the Commonwealth Games.Winning the championship was a relief, defeating established Australian stars Chantelle Newbery, an Olympic champion, and Loudy Tourkey, a bronze medal winner at Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004. I was under so much pressure to perform, and it was that moment that I realised Id made it and I just needed to keep working and keep focused on myself. My coach at the time was so focused on the job. For him it wasnt about me beating people, but me diving well. We trained hard for me to compete well, so he was very focused on my performance.It was an important lesson for me going into the rest of my career, making sure I didnt focus on other people. At the end of the day, and no matter what other people say, you still have to do your dives and so I make sure to focus as much as I can on what Im doing.All About Performance - Expectations Are HighI had my first experience on an international stage at the 2006 Commonwealth Games; I was 14-years-old, and it was an eye-opening experience.I was thrown together with my synchronized diving partner, Alex Croak, a week before the Games. We didnt really know what to expect, so we just thought wed do our best. It was different to anything Id experienced.We won the silver medal and I cant really remember what I was thinking at the time; I just remember being so excited. I dont even remember being nervous. I just remember competing.I never really thought of what I achieved. The mentality of the program, everyone was expected to perform; not just me but the whole team. You dont think about what youve accomplished when the culture iis based so much on performance.dddddddddddd You grew up learning that everything is about performance, so I went in there trying to have fun but knowing I had to perform.It was the same when I won silver at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. I was 16-years-old, and Id had a few more international tournaments under my belt. I won silver again in the synchro, with Briony Cole, and I became the youngest Australian diver to medal at the Olympics. But I didnt really know or focus on that achievement. My time at the Olympics was all about performance. I had to go there and perform; getting a medal, particularly the silver, was what was expected of me, especially with our previous results in the lead up.With all that pressure and the expectations, winning the silver wasnt really a wow moment. It was amazing winning a medal, but I remember having that pressure on me and just thinking that was what was expected of me.You Have To Be Brave To Be A DiverDespite practising simple dives from the 10 metre platform for a long time, I still remember the first time trying a more difficult dive from that height. Id been trained from a young age to be comfortable up there, but still it was really scary trying the difficult dives for the first time.I can remember that day as I was getting to the pool. I could feel the adrenalin building and I was getting pretty nervous to start doing those more technical dives. But once I did it, it was such a great feeling because then I knew that rush.We do all the practice and all the lead up to prepare ourselves, but you never know what youre going to feel like until you go up there. Its the fear of the unknown; you need to have that bravery and willpower to just go for it and not worry about whats going to happen.Being Teammates and Competitors Can Be A Lonely PlaceIts always tough being in a competitive solo sport. People can be very different in the pool and out of the pool.Alex Croak is probably one of the few people in my diving crew who remained friends with me no matter what the results were. But I have found that friendships like Alexs are rarer than people who treat you differently with the results.Its just the nature of sports; its something you learn form a young age that its just how people are in a sporting environment; so you learn to just stay focused on what youre doing. If you make friends, thats a bonus; but at the end of the day youre probably not going to have that many friends.It can be a really lonely place being teammates and competitors. It was especially hard when I was younger. It was really tough. Were all teammates trying to compete in the same environment, and if you dont perform youre out.Youre Not Always Friends On The Olympic TeamIve matured a lot over the years, obviously as a person and through my diving, too.It takes a lot of time to get experience and to start diving consistently; its a real mental thing in competitions. You do all your physical preparations in training but at the end of the day its about whos going to be the toughest mentally, and I think in the last few years I have improved my mental strength.After years of self-doubt, I finally feel more comfortable in myself.Ive had a lot of issues with self-confidence over the years and now I feel so much better on so many different levels, and to be able to pass on this confidence to younger athletes is something Im really proud of.
