CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conferences four new coaches find very different challenges ahead for the 2016 season.Miamis Mark Richt is charged with helping a program leap into the leagues upper echelon, while Virginia Techs Justin Fuente must reverse the slide from annual 10-win seasons to also-ran status in the wide-open Coastal Division.Its a little tougher for Syracuses Dino Babers and Virginias Bronco Mendenhall, who must build a new foundation for programs that have struggled for wins.They all arrived in Charlotte for last weeks ACC Kickoff preseason media days fielding questions about how theyve reshaped their programs. Now its time to think about what happens on the field with training camp nearly here.I think youve got to wait until you go to games, Babers said. Spring ball is one thing, two-a-days is one thing but until they actually get into a game, I dont think they truly buy in. Young people are just like old people. They can say the right things but youve got to prove it to them.Babers inherits a Syracuse program with just seven wins -- three in the league -- in the last two seasons under Scott Schafer. Its part of a freefall for a program that has managed three winning seasons since winning 10 games in 2001.Babers, a former assistant to Art Briles at Baylor, arrives after winning 18 games the past two seasons at Bowling Green.The challenge is also daunting for Mendenhall, who left BYU after 11 seasons to replace Mike London at a Virginia program with one winning record in eight years.Mendenhall went about installing an earned, not given approach at Virginia, down to taking away players jersey numbers. So far, he said, he likes the way his Cavaliers have responded.He took pictures off the walls, he took our clothes away, he took the locker room away ... he took everything from us, Virginia center Jackson Matteo said. Earning all that back together, doing hard things together, imagine how special that bond is.The trick at Miami and Virginia Tech is more about providing a jolt.Miami arrived in the ACC in 2004 as the projected Coastal Division power opposite Florida State in the Atlantic. But the Hurricanes have yet to win a division title and spent five years under Al Golden bouncing between 5-3 and 3-5 league records.Richt, a Miami alumnus, arrives after 15 years at Georgia and inherits a talented returning quarterback in Brad Kaaya.The thing that people want to ask: How do you think the team is going to do? I really dont know for sure, Richt said. The only thing I promised is that were going to work hard and try to do things the way everybody will be proud of us, just a team that will play hard, play physical, be a disciplined bunch, just get after it.The Hokies won four ACC championships during a run of eight straight 10-win seasons under Frank Beamer. But they began to slide around 2012 and had finished 7-6 in each of the past two years, leading to Fuentes arrival from Memphis.But Fuente isnt distancing himself from that past, evidenced by the decision to retain longtime defensive coordinator Bud Foster.We also have an obligation to build on what (Beamer) has done, Fuente said. That does not mean doing it exactly the way he did it. That means paying great tribute to the way he did things and understanding there was a fantastic foundation there of core values, and lets build on it through our own core values.The arrivals of Richt, Fuente and Mendenhall certainly add a new look for the seven-team Coastal Division, which hasnt had a repeat champion since 2011.Theres going to be a difference, said Larry Fedora, coach of reigning Coastal champ North Carolina. And every one of them is trying to make their team better than they were a year ago.If they werent, (the schools) wouldnt have gotten rid of their coaches.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.orgDevontae Booker Jersey .

As a kid, hed adorned a wall in the family garage by writing a promise to himself to one day become a national champion, a world champ and an Olympic champ. A two-time Olympian and three-time World Cup winner, Fields has made good on most of those goals. But one still eludes him.So on the wall of his new home in Vegas, he placed another reminder. Among the pieces of art he purchased to commemorate the countries hed visited while competing around the world -- New Zealand, South Africa, France, Australia -- he placed a 6-foot wide panorama of the Rio de Janeiro skyline behind its famed Christ the Redeemer statue. It was an image of a city hed yet to visit, but held his aspirations for the next four years.Im not going to lie, says Fields, 23. There are days when you dont want to get up and go to work. Its nice to have a reminder of why youre getting off the couch, strapping on the helmet and going down an 8-meter-tall starting hill with seven dudes trying to kill you.After a strong start in the early rounds in London, Fields finished off the podium in seventh. It was a respectable showing for the youngest rider in the race (he was 19 at the time), but one that left him dissatisfied and wanting more. I was happy with my performance until finals, says Fields, who missed the latter half of the 2016 season with a broken hand but returned to competition in time to be granted a coachs selection for Rio. I had one bad start. But thats BMX racing. You could run the Olympic race 10 times and get 10 different winners. Thats what makes it so exciting for spectators. The fastest guy doesnt always win. But Im going to be more prepared this time for that bigger moment at the end.The same could be said for all five members of the U.S. team. Four of the five -- Fields, Nic Long, Alise Post and Brooke Crain -- competed in London. Corben Sharrah, who rounds out the Rio team and won the U.S. Olympic trials race in July, traveled to London as an alternate.In Beijing, the Americans won three medals in BMX cyclings Olympic debut, including a team-best silver by Mike Day. Each rider in London hoped to be the first to bring a gold medal back to the States, the birthplace of the sport. But Post crashed in her semifinal heat. Crain, a last-minute replacement when Arielle Martin was injured, finished last in the final, and Long was eliminated in quarterfinals.Being successful at the Olympics is about handling the pressure and remembering why you are where you are and not worrying about the little things, Post says. Staying focused so you dont build up this race to be something sppecial, where everyones eyes are on you.dddddddddddd In London, people kept telling me how I would feel, and I expected to feel overwhelmed. So by the end of it, I was.All five members of the U.S. team have the potential to medal or win in Rio. But in the years since the sport made its Olympic debut, that task has become tougher as the rest of the worlds riders have caught up with their American peers. Some countries, such as Australia and France, have well-funded, well-developed Olympic programs. Others such as Colombia, which produced 2012 womens champ Mariana Pajon, have passionate, hungry athletes who perform well in big moments.After Beijing, many countries invested in their programs and built tracks, which took away the advantage the U.S. had pre-2008, when the Olympic replica track in Chula Vista, California, was the only one like it in the world. (Well, except for the Olympic track in Beijing.) Most countries now have open-door policies at their facilities, including the U.S. In the weeks leading up to the Rio Games, the U.S. riders remained in Chula Vista to train, but top riders from several countries lined up in the start gate alongside them, as well. Thats a big change from pre-2012, and one USA Cycling BMX director Jamie Staff believes will be invaluable to his riders.I saw value in allowing our competitors to train here, he says. The advantage of having the only track in the world is gone. I wanted to expose our athletes to the stresses of competition on a more frequent basis. If they are on the gate with the best in the world more often, they will be uncomfortable more often. Theyll know where they stand, and it keeps the pressure on them. Besides, where would you rather have your competition? Next to you where I can film them and time them or on the other side of the world?In those late-July practices, Staff saw greatness in his riders and believes they match up well no matter who is in the start gate next to them come Fridays finals. For their part, his riders hope all their hard work adds up to the first BMX Olympic gold medal for the U.S.It was disappointing to not have hardware from anyone on the team in London considering we were so successful in Beijing, Post says. We were a young team, and now were back with experience. To get a gold medal and be the first U.S. rider to win would be amazing. This is our sport, and to bring it back to our country would mean a lot. Its hard for a sport to stand out in the U.S. without a gold medal. Itd be cool to be the person to bring it home.If its Fields who does so, its likely he already knows precisely where the medal will hang in his home.Cheap Jeroes so, its likely he already knows precerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys Wholesale Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
