RALEIGH, N.C. -- Kyle Bambard remembers all the missed kicks that sapped his confidence early in his freshman year at North Carolina State. Now hes working through the Wolfpacks training camp with competition from a graduate transfer.Bambard and Connor Haskins are competing for the starting job for a team desperately needing someone to provide reliable production at the end of stalled drives.Its going to be critical just because youre talking about points on the board, Wolfpack special teams coordinator Eddie Faulkner said. Well continue to let them compete and obviously we want to get the right guy out there.While the Wolfpacks quarterback battle attracts the most attention, the team is trying to find a starting kicker for the Sept. 1 opener against William & Mary as well as get both ready for the 12-game schedule.Bambard made 7-of-14 field goals last year, a 50-percent conversion rate that was last in the NCAAs Bowl Subdivision national ranks. He missed three kicks from 39 or fewer yards and didnt make one longer than 37.Ill be the first to tell you I struggled last year, Bambard said. I know the situations I put this team in and I put my coaches in and I put myself in. And Ill also be the first to tell you that Ive worked my butt off this offseason to make sure that doesnt happen again.Bambard missed six of his first nine kicks and said he let the bad start get to him, though he made four of his last five field goals. He said he hopes to build on that by focusing on kicking execution instead of the overall pressure to put one through the uprights.My technique wasnt flawed last year, he said. My mindset was flawed.Haskins arrived in January to compete for the job after three years at Division II UNC Pembroke. Haskins made 38-of-53 field goals (72 percent) during his career, including long kicks of 48 yards in each of his first two seasons and a 50 yarder in 2014.He sat out last year ahead of his move to Raleigh for what he called a great opportunity for both me and Kyle.Hes got years left, I dont, so I kind of feel like Ive got to step up immediately and play, Haskins said. But I came in here to play. I didnt come in here to sit the bench.Weve had a good competition. I think both of us are very capable of getting the job done. Im betting on myself: I think I can get the job done and I want to be out there on Saturdays to play.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.orgNike Air Vapormax 2019 Zalando .

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League.A player drain crisis in rugby league is at the heart of the ARL Commission chairman John Grants bitter dispute with NRL clubs.Grant is confident the 16 chairmen calling for his head following his U-turn on his promise of an extra $100 million to the clubs from 2018 will come to realise the need to invest more in grassroots rugby league is imperative.For a number of years, at least since 2013, weve had clubs with declining male participation rates, Grant said on Friday.So thats what feeds our elite competition.Why is that? Theres competitive forces in the market, not only from sporting competitors but also just what teenagers are doing.We need to run better competitions, we need to invest within the states. Theres lots of stuff we need to do.Talk to the state chairs, theyll give you an indication of what we need to do.Grants fears about falling participation rates come a day after NRL chief Todd Greenberg also expressed his deep concerns about the declining numbers of rugby league players in Australia.ddddddddddddI made it clear on day one in this job that I had two priorities: I want to see more people playing the game and I want to see more people watching the game and growing the base of our participation is important, Greenberg said.Were seeing some declining trends in the last past few years of the registered participants playing tackle footy.Were seeing great growth in the womens game, were seeing great growth in the recreational game, but weve got some great concerns about where were heading.Greenberg said rugby league wasnt the only sport worrying about participation trends.So what that means is weve got to think very carefully about our strategy and weve got to think very carefully about where we apply funds, whether its in regional areas in the bush or whether its in the city, he said.Weve got to be very, very careful about what we do next.Cheap JerseysChina NFL Jerseys [url=o think very carefully about where we apply funds, seball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
