Illini Men's Basketball | Day in the Life with Terrence Shannon Jr.

when I was in high school for our

basketball

team we had to do morning practices before school so I'm pretty used to it here how many days a week can you hear this early? Oh, every day of the week, every day of the week, I go. I wear these I want to play with my shoes just at home for the Christmas spirit my favorite time of year Thor is my favorite superhero I bought some Thors shoes greetings to Sado and these are my ones from Illinois I'm going to put them out sometime this year everyone uploaded everything the program, they, the

life

of the program, they simply see us, but behind the scenes are all the managers.

This is all recently added music. I have Christmas music, my favorite time of year. I love Christmas. I forgot it. This is true. buddy 800 800 trainer FX like him, the guy like he almost has no credit like he's just a guy behind the scenes but I'm always like that, I always tell him he's cool and he'd be like N, I know I'm not like that. Yeah, you're one of the best streaming trainers in the country and if he's not the best, he does a lot for us, like massages, he's our nutritionist, he makes us smoothies, our smoothies, watch him right now. a smoothie for me, he brings us food at away games, he is our strength coach, he is our type of energy, he understands us, motivates us, gives us talks in the weight room and is like another father, like if we ever needed to.

He talks like he's always there for us, like he's always trying to find different ways to help us and make us better on and off the court, home alone too, that's the best movie of all time, that's your background in your phone, right? Yes, the best movie. ever Home Alone two Home Alone one the house they were furious there I'll work out there at home sometimes it's pretty cool circumstances dictate what you get there's always a general approach but depending on what I'm feeling at the time with What is Sticking with your body will depend on where we put the most attention in that session, so we will always focus on your feet, ankles, knees and quads and then back, it just depends on what maybe you need a little bit, obviously it's your communication. what matters and then what I'm feeling at that moment will depend on how long I stay in a certain area, clean my table after using it.

Camera Time Camera Time I know it's an easier way to get in here, but I'll just make it hard, that's what you can do. Co Bri and I had a conversation this summer about how being a leader is uncomfortable, not that I don't care, but if something needs to be said or something needs to happen, I feel like, "Well, I do it now and instead of just thinking about how would someone feel, I will always talk and have a conversation with someone if we had an altercation, but I mean, that's like he said being a leader is uncomfortable and I'm getting pretty, I'm pretty comfortable being uncomfortable, so I feel like that's good for us big week coming up let's do it one more time but it was perfect men's

basketball

I'm done yeah no I love Chris he's the godfather call them for all purposes I always know. what he does at all times, it's the same every day, he's always going to bring it, as you see guys like Marcus and Dane and like all the Dre, like them, men, like everyone, they like the trans body Transformations that. , like him, did for him, but it's not just about lifting weights with us in the weight room, it's about building a relationship with us, a lot of the things in this program and the success that we have wouldn't be because he does it. many things behind.

The scenes that a lot of people don't know about Terren is a guy that we lean on a lot in this show, not only is he a senior fifth year student, but he's now a veteran in our program as a first teamer that returns throughout the league. guy, a returning AllAmerican, a preseason All-American, he's a guy whose expectations are very different because we demand more of him, we expect more of him, not just in the amount of work he does and, believe me, he does a lot. of work but the mental preparation that goes into becoming a great player to becoming a guy that's at the top of the scouting report for every opponent we face everyone is trying to stop him uh he's matured he's grown we continue to push him every day . to be the best player he can be both mentally and physically and he's made great strides from last year to this year, what he does in terms of leadership, he shows the way, he sets the example for our young guys, our new guys, it's Invaluable to our teams, you can say that they simply come to our practices while we practice the way we compete against each other.

I feel like it's us this year, it's important that it's not just him doing this today because we're filming it, that's how he is every day, he takes a lot of pride in it, it's unique for him, we compare him to any player in the country in terms of what his routine is, being one of the best players in College Basketball Cut Chicken too, so you make a chicken sandwich like we're talking about and then just a chicken, yeah, just chicken. “I have two of them,” Tommy shouts. I just got here like after practice, like I'm just relaxing.

He just relaxes me, you know, my day is basically almost over, just tops off what I did all day. It's convenient what's the best time in america to drink beer with family friends and I can also watch Home Alone about to spank Johnny and M but he's watching a movie right now so he left on Thursday to go exercise for the trip. I'll go see him probably later or tomorrow, although you're going to this finals week, um, I had my last exam yesterday, actually, um, but I finished the rest of the semester and got good grades to finish, so one more semester until I graduate, see you later.
