When I was a young girl starting to dive competitive diving, and later when I joined the Australian diving team, I was subject to bullying. Dele Alli Jersey .I was 12-years-old and training in a junior program at the Australian Institute of Sport when I experienced one of my first bullying incidents.A teammate had just been dropped and I overheard his mum on pool-deck telling people I should have been kicked out as well. I remember that day so clearly, thinking to myself that Id trained so hard for that opportunity. It was an important lesson for me to make sure I didnt focus on other people, and Ive always had to work on my self-esteem.Diving is a competitive place, and its tough being in a competitive, solo sport. Like I wrote in an earlier column, people can be very different in the pool and out of the pool. It can be a really lonely place being teammates and competitors.A year after the incident mentioned above, I competed at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne; I was only 13-years-old, and it was the first time I was competing as part of the national team. It was hard socially within the team.I looked up to a lot of the other athletes, but some of them werent inclusive. I was at a young age, and although I think I was fairly mature and always tried to fit in, I felt that some of the other athletes didnt want to accept me.They would make up stories about me and tell not only Diving Australia but also the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra to try to get me into trouble. They secretly moved their seats away from me when we flew overseas for diving trips, so I sat by myself; they went through my computer to look for things to get me into trouble; some would play pranks on me like shutting the spa lid over me while I was in it and holding the lid down, so I couldnt get out when I could barely breathe; and some just generally made negative comments towards me, which made me feel isolated. I struggled being on teams for many years when I was younger.There was some bullying again at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, but it was towards some of the other younger divers. I wasnt OK with it. I had encountered it when I was younger, and its something that Ive always been against. It really annoyed me seeing it again at London because it really affected me when I was younger.Im so glad the team evolved ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio, where we were much more tight-knit as a group.It was different this year.Rio was awesome; it was interesting to compare this team to all the other teams Ive been on over the years. It was a really good team in Rio, and I think the age factor might have a lot to do with the different feeling within the team.This year we were all a lot similar in age and all similar in maturity level; maybe in the past the older people were intolerant of the younger teammates. It was a great group, everyone got on really well, and there were never any issues.Despite the bullying Ive encountered within the diving team, there is always a good feeling around the Australian Olympic team and I think we really tried to promote that with the OneTeam hashtag this year.Every time a Games event like the Olympics or Commonwealth Games comes around, you meet new athletes and you get to know them. Its a great feeling and your network of athletes expands whenever you go to events like that. You make friends and feel part of a team and thats what the Olympics are about.

Given his experience and success with the Canucks, Vigneault should get some consideration for the vacant Dallas Stars job. Dallas has a strong core of young, emerging talent, but missed the playoffs the past two seasons under former first-time NHL coach Glen Gulutzan. Vigneault guided the Canucks to a berth in the 2010-11 Stanley Cup finals, two Presidents trophies and six Northwest Division titles. But he got the axe after the Canucks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year. In addition to the Dallas job, he could get consideration for vacancies that have yet to occur, pending the conclusion of the post-season. Most of the opportunities appear to be with teams that toiled in the Eastern Conference this season prior to next seasons realignment. Four or five Eastern teams that missed the playoffs -- including Winnipeg, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Carolina, and Florida -- will likely be evaluating their coaching situations extensively. John Tortorella of the New York Rangers could also be on the hot seat because of the Rangers second-round struggles against Boston. Winnipeg could be a good fit for Vigneault, because he coached Vancouvers former top farm club for one season before moving up to the Canucks and knows the teams owners and management. Most teams who toiled in the Western Conference this season appear to be set. But with Phoenix coaach Dave Tippetts contract due to expire, an opportunity could emerge with the Coyotes. Charles Barkley England Jersey. Accordingly, Canucks general manager Mike Gillis has no shortage of possible candidates as he looks to find Vancouvers next coach. Gillis, who has come under heavy criticism since firing Vigneault on Wednesday, must decide whether he wants someone with experience or a fresh young face. Potential candidates mentioned publicly range from former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff to ex-Calgary and New Jersey coach Brent Sutter to former Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher. Scott Arniel, the coach of Vancouvers AHL farm club in Chicago in 2012-13, appears likely to get an interview based on his lengthy ties to the Canucks. He is in his second stint as the head coach of their top affiliate. He spent four seasons as head coach of the Manitoba Moose and served for two others as an assistant. But he had limited success in his lone NHL head-coaching assignment, lasting only a season and a half with the Columbus Blue Jackets between 2010-12. Less experienced possible candidates include AHL coaches Dallas Eakin of the Toronto Marlies coach and Willie Desjardins of the Texas Stars. Meanwhile, Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo, who was not traded as expected, expressed irony on Twitter on Thursday in that Vigneault left the club before him. "Since our 1st year when we arrived together, AV would always tell me that hed be gone before I would. I guess he was right. Very ironic....," Luongo tweeted.
