Our players work out four days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, with a combination of lifting, running and skill development.

— Coach Tom Allen (@CoachAllenIU) June 19, 2017

We modify our schedule during the season. We only lift twice a week on Sunday and Tuesday. We do no additional running during those workouts

The concept of #BreakThrough is constantly reinforced to our players.

— Coach Tom Allen (@CoachAllenIU) June 19, 2017

It effects the way we lift, run and watch film. #BreakThrough ⚪️🔴

We stay out at Four Winds Resort the night before games and enjoy our time together as a team in that setting!

We're creating a tunnel for our players to enter the field prior to kickoff. This will increase the level of intensity to our entrance. 🔥

Every win is BIG. But I enjoy being with my family and eating pizza after a win. 🍕

Growing up, I was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. But then the Colts came to Indiana, and I became a Colts fan.

A full cooler of ice cold @MountainDew is my favorite drink, and you must have a grill for juicy medium rare hamburgers with melted cheese.

Chips and peanut M&Ms are a must. And then make sure the tailgate is concluded with a walk into Memorial Stadium. 🏈

Early riser. Get up early every morning and run while it is still cool out. 🏃

That's a tough one! I would say @UptownCafe. Great breakfast and all of the above! My favorite place for dinner is @Malibu_Grill.

The student union. That whole area. I like the architecture and there is a lot of history there. It's a beautiful spot at @IUBloomington!
