Coaching the Australian Diamonds to glory for five years, coach Lisa Alexander could easily be considered one of the most successful coaches in Australia; and its this success that has seen her a guest to several international sports training sessions. Vladimir Ducasse Jersey .Visiting a Wallabies training session ahead of the second Test against England in Melbourne earlier this year, Alexander said she saw the experience as a great opportunity to learn and improve the Diamonds program.Absolutely [it was a great experience], Alexander told ESPN. When I get the opportunity to be invited to attend another national program and watch them in action for the day, its just a great privilege.Its also a great learning opportunity for me, seeing another program in action, what they do. We can always learn things that we can take back and tweak our program and improve it.It was a really great day and I enjoyed it very much.But Alexander says shes not the only person learning from these visits, with the World Cup-winning coach pointing out that her high-performance team is a highly professional outfit.Netball is an extremely professional sport; its just that were not paid the same amount as say rugby - but weve always been professional, Alexander said.In fact our high-performance outcomes are highly regarded not just in Australia but around the world. So the Wallabies have come into our camp, like [Wallabies captain] Stephen Moore has done, to see what we do.As a coach I love to learn about other sports all the time; there are always things that Ill learn from rugby that will make us better. But there are also things that I can offer the Wallabies and help improve their program.Down the track well see many visits in and out of our program and well see more professional learnings that way.The visit from Moore in 2015 proved to be a great learning experience for both the Wallabies captain and the Diamonds support staff.[Moore] spent quite a bit of time talking to our support staff who wanted to learn about how the support staff worked behind the scenes for a national team, Alexander told ESPN. He knew some of the behind the scenes work and could talk to the support staff about it.It gave a chance for our physio therapist, Alanna Antcliff, to visit the Wallabies in camp as well, so shes had the opportunity to learn from that.Alexander acknowledges that athletes face a challenge in regards to how different their sports are, but she believes the players can connect over their shared passion of representing their country.Its a bit difficult for the athletes sometimes because their sports are just so dissimilar, but one of the things that they did say when I had a meal with the Wallabies after their training was that theyd love the opportunity to have a dinner together; to just have a chat.Were all excited to be playing national sport at the best of our abilities and represent our countries, so there is always that in common.While the Wallabies were her most recent sporting visit, Alexander has been given the chance to learn from other sides and she hopes to continue to expand her sporting connections.I havent been to too many training sessions; Id love to be able to go to a Socceroos session or a Matildas session. But I have been to watch the Hockeyroos train with Adam Commons, over in WA, it was a great opportunity to do that.I also got to work with the Australian cricket team; one day I was able to go in and see what they do.Myself and the coaches caught up about a month ago where we discussed our relationships as captain and coach. I know that the group of coaches that were there that day really enjoyed the conversation about how we work and how we deal with the tough times, and we make sure we embrace the times and how we work from that.

Greg Romans final act as the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator was to pose for the team picture that was scheduled for midday Friday, according to sources.After Roman, and all the Bills coaches and players posed for the picture, head coach Rex Ryan informed Roman that he was relieving him of his duties.But some in the Bills organization thought the changes could have been even more extensive. When some noticed that the Pegula family that owns the Bills never bothered to appear in the postgame locker room Thursday night, some wondered whether Ryan would be sent packing Friday, but it was Roman who lost his job.Ryan told reporters Friday that firing Roman was my move, without question.Roman was the NFLs highest-paid offensive coordinator, a coach who makes about $2.5 million this year. The Bills will have to pay him for the next two years.Roman, 44, was hired shortly after the Pegulas named Ryan their head coach in JJanuary 2015. Jerry Hughes Jersey. Roman previously served as the San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator from 2011 to 14.The Bills replaced Roman with assistant head coach/running backs coach Anthony Lynn. The 47-year-old served as Ryans running backs coach with the New York Jets from 2009 to 14, before joining Ryan in Buffalo last season.Lynn is the fifth different offensive coordinator to work under Ryan in the past six seasons. After the Jets finished 8-8 in 2011, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was replaced by Tony Sparano for the 2012 season. Sparano lasted just one season before being replaced by Marty Mornhinweg in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
