Mental training has now become very important part for a team as Ahoy prepare to compete against -ethers of their very high calibre. This past weekend, 22 of the best 14 to 16 year-old ringette players were in Exeter for an exhibition game, a banquet, shooting clinics and practices. Team Ontario, which includes Hensall's Cara Gardner, is prepar- ing for the 1995 Canada Winter Games in Grande Prairie, Alberta. "We've given each player a men- tal and physical training program," said Team Ontario coach Bernie Cockburn. The girls come from across the province and right now, they meet once a month, but, come 1994, that will be stepped up to three week- ends a month. Ten years ago, mental training was not even considered as part of the process to make a better team. Now, however, it has almost_ be- come a necessity. "Mental training is really the art Team Ontarfo's Cara Gardner, right; showed Exeter Optimist petite player Krista Dayman how to shoot the ring during a shooting clinic Sunday hosted by Team Ontario. Gardner of Hensall and the rest of the elite team were in town for an ex- hibition game, clinics and practice sessions of their own. of thinking about what is going to happen," explained Cockburn. It gets the players tournament - ready, and according to Cock- burn, has a lot to do with a player's home life. How they mingle with their family, friends, did they eat well, etc. is all part of the mental training. "Each person is different and .what we try to do is try and find what is perfect for them in order to play the best." Visualizing a certain play and if it was done right, is also part of the mental training. Looking ahead: While -February of 1995 when the Canada Games will be held is a long time ahead, Cockburn said getting Team Onta- rio together so early, is very impor- tant He said the training program which is necessary to play at such a high level has to have all the men- tal and training program. Selection process for Team Onta- rio began with six regional all-star teams who were selected from about 600 girls. The best were tak- en off of the six teams and from that, came Team Ontario. "They have different habits. In ringette we don't have a set place to be yet as a ringette strategy. We have what individual coaches want." Cockburn said he and the other coaches have to change the thought process of the girls and noticed some of them may have .been pro- hibited from doing what they are really capable of doing. Gardner plays defence for Team Ontario and like all her teammates in the big win against London Deb 'AA' Saturday night at the South Huron Recreation Centre, seemed focused on what she was doing. "She's about the average of eve- ryone here. What you have to re- member is that every girl here is exceptional. Cara is an exceptional athlete," said Cockburn. He said that during the selection process every time he saw Gardner play, Team Ontario were confident she would be on the elite team. "She's a natural athlete. She con- trols the game of ringette." Funding for Team Ontario comes mostly from the girls and their fam- ilies themselves. Sponsors such as Itech help and so do such organiza- tions as the Exeter and Area Rin- gette Association who were very generous in providing the banquet, ice time told classroom time. "It's just wonderful that an associ- ation like Exeter will have us in to do that," said Cockburn. Price tag for Team Ontario up un- til February, 1995 is about $92,000. • Minor hot: ~oreboarr L , L/M Peewee October 30 Parkhill 0 u Liam 15 Goats: PAOip Rw pg (4), Brad Anker (211�� ) Jay Notion (2), Derek 7eltsay a M, lassie V Arias: O'Shea (3), Dax t3ioMtl-tS), Rev- iagton (2), Pifield (5), Shenk EOM (2), VanKastermt (3). , Brandon De Block.
