s vouncj pHAnnwcv ITD Open Until pm PHONE the HERALD PLAYING THE FIELD Raiders cavalry ousts Indians Trials of a trainer Athletes like artists are a separate and unique breed They can be quite frankly a pain to deal with Especially when theyre in pain themselves Jason the 23yearold Georgetown Raider trainer knows all about dealing with the fragile egos and the swelled heads not to mention pulled groins and dislocated shoulders Wise beyond his years Jason was quick to realize a good trainer needs the complete confidence of even the most self serving Jock on the team if he plans to do his Job to the best of his ability Anyway Jason easily recogniiable at Raider games because of his curly brown locks relaxed smile and the trunksized firstaid box he totes around probably has the persona lity to fit the bill Hes laid back yet responsible Friendly with all yet aware of his role In the Raider organization Its really a lot of fun for me meeting new people and working with the athletes Havard an id in a recent interview You have to be fairly outgoing yet reasonable to be able to communic ate with many different types of people The biggest problem I find with a new team is finding somehow to gain the confidence of the players Italldcpcndsontheteam the players involved and the way you present yourself to them I try to maintain a relaxed composure to keep Itfriendly You have to be serious really nononsense when It comes to dealing with problem though Given certain circumstances ci be a players best friend certainly his best ally against his own stupidity Young hockey players all too often buy the garbage they hear about how all the great ones played with pain Injuries arc port of the game theyre told so they skip the part about informing the team trainer of the swelling In the left knee or how the shoulder snapped crackled and finally popped after that last hard check try to main tain a relaxed com posure to keep It friendly You to be serious really nononsense when II comes to dealing with a problem though JASON Its hard when youre Just coming in explained You have to watch all the players and watch the action Generally youre going to sec it when a guy gets slammed Into the boards or takes a strange fall Obviously there are limitations to what can actually do for an injured athlete His mandate is to eliminate as much of the pain as he can administer some basic on thcscene first aid and get the player in question to proper medical attention You generally try and talk to him and calm him down said Just by talking to him you can determine where the Injury Is and find out precisely what happened Obviously the guy is in pain and theres a limit what you can do You Just core for him the best you can In that initial time A major headache for the trainer is the player who tries to hide a serious injury Worse still Is the coach who conveniently chooses to overlook an Injury because its a star player that has been affected Sure lot of it can depend on the caliber of the player hot has the problem admits I will explain to the player Just what can happen if he continues playing though The coach Is going to know too because Im going to tell him whats going on to the best of my ability Often that type of situation can leave the trainer feeling caught between the team manage ment and the players Thesituatlonls worse if the players see it that way Havard needs only to look back on last winter his second of two years with the Junior Gemini to recall just such a situation Early In the year the club was beset with internal squabbling losing hockey games and headed straight for the dumper The only thing consistent about that team was s steady easygoing personality Or course Jules Russian came on the scene and the clubs fortunes took a dramatic upswing after Christmas The tension disappear ed At the beginning of the season I was In limbo between the management and the players Havard admits now But by the end of the year I felt as though I was part of that squad I was up and down with the team I guess trainers can be pretty unique too Challengers smashed The Georgetown District High School boys volleyball team had two
