Carlton forward Ben Ainsworth says he is working on his mindset with former Richmond premiership player Alex Rance. The reports describe Ainsworth undertaking “a lot of work” with Rance as part of his preparation and development.
The articles frame this support as a contribution to Carlton’s broader push to improve its performance. While each outlet highlights the same player-to-player coaching relationship, the coverage places emphasis on Ainsworth’s personal approach to growth and confidence. Overall, the sources present Rance as a mentor figure and Ainsworth as a player seeking a more consistent mental game, rather than focusing on any specific game result or controversy.
