Field Hockey Star Visits Pines School by Brad Kelly Playing a low-profile sport in Canada doesn't always always provide instant fame or recognition to the players involved. Field hockey, for example, example, is one sport where the athletes are recognized more readily in other countries than their own. Sandra Levy, who is a member of Canada's National National Women's Field Hockey team, accepts the lack of recognition recognition she receives in her home country. At the same time, she is quite happy at what her home country has enabled her to do. It gave her the opportunity opportunity to compete in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. "The Olympics to me was the greatest, most exciting event I've ever been involved with," she said while guest speaking at The Pines Senior Senior Public School on Thursday, Thursday, October 25. "I bumped and stubbed my toes all the time because there were so many different people and languages being spoken." "It was amazing to see athletes from little gymnasts gymnasts to big weightlifters in the same village. To play in the Olympics was very special special to me." And as far as the lack of recognition in Canada, it has never been a concern to the 24-year-old Markham resident. "We're lucky if we get our parents out to watch us play," she said sarcastically. "I play for the sheer joy of the sport, and I enjoy the privilege of playing for my country." "In other countries, kids come right on the field to get autographs, and it's quite exciting when they want to get their picture taken with you. We spend so little time playing here that the lack of recognition doesn't bother me." As in most sports, Canadian Canadian field hockey teams are required to travel abroad to play in tournaments and face world class competition. In the next six months, the team will be in five different different countries. The culmi nation of the tour will be in New Zealand next October when the qualifying tournament tournament for the 1992 Olympic Games will be held. "We virtually live out of a suitcase, but I love to travel anyway and field hockey has given me the opportunity to do that." Ms Levy was at the Pines as a speaker for the F.A.M.E. (Female Athletes Motivate Excellence) program. program. Started in 1986, female female role models have visited visited over 500 groups including some 350 Ontario elementary elementary and secondary schools. The speakers try to make the audiences more aware of the benefits of living an active active lifestyle. Ms Levy focused focused her presentation on the importance for kids to set goals for themselves. "I was inspired and motivated motivated to be an Olympian after after watching the '76 Olympics," Olympics," she told the grade seven class. "I wanted to do 1000 different things after that." "The important thing is that I set a goal and began working towards something. I moved from playing field hockey on the *B' team in high school, to playing in the Olympics. I always stress that you don't have to be brilliant from day one to become become successful. She also pointed out that a lot of girls drop out of sports when they reach the senior public school level. But she added that just because because they may not be superstars superstars on their varsity teams, they can still enjoy an active lifestyle. 'You can be a recreational recreational athlete or an Olympic athlete, athlete, but if you give your all, you can obtain excellence," she told the class. 'You can obtain a sense of personal achievement at whatever level you participate at." As for her athletic career, Ms Levy is looking towards the '92 Olympics, but no further. further. "I'll see how my body feels in '92," she disclosed. "I'm beginning to juggle my responsibilities and after '92 I might just say it's been great and wonderful, but I'll see you later."
