Andrej Stojakovic said getting Illinois back to the Final Four feels surreal, but noted the work isn't done: "I don't want anybody to think that this is it. We didn't get to the Final Four just to get there. We're coming to win two more games." 📹: NCAA

This might be the greatest thing I’ve seen #ILL

This may be the greatest Luther Burden edit in all of mankind.

Defensive coordinator Gary Patterson explains why he’s adapted the white stripe on the defenders helmets during practice. “It’s an eyes thing” when reviewing the practice film they’re able to see the players snap their eyes by seeing the stripe move. When they get to the point where they’re snapping their eyes giving signals and doing the right things— the stripe will come off.

Congratulations @ryan_papka! 3rd Team all SEC Conference! Lots of work left kid! @WisBBYearbook

If you’re not already, here are some things that should be in your training routine: 1. 10 yard sprints 2. Hill or 10 yard sled sprints 3. Loaded vertical/broad jumps 4. Standard vertical/broad jumps 5. Repeat contact jumps 6. Maximal landings 7. 1-2 heavy upper/lower compound lifts 8. Interval conditioning

Metrics athletes should track/measure consistently 1. Bodyweight 2. Grip strength 3. Max hold above bar (pull up or chin-up) 4. Vertical jump 5. Squat jump 6. Repeat/rebound jump (RSI if possible) 7. Broad jump 8. 10 yard dash 9. Flying 10 yard dash Very important

If you improve your 10 yard sprint You WILL have more success as an athlete It can be as simple as these 4 things… 1. Max-effort 10 yard sprints 2-3x per-wk 2. Heavy (85-115% bodyweight) loaded 10 yard sprints 2-3x per-wk 3. Push/pull HEAVY sleds 2-10 yards 4. Get STRONG
