Dan Lanning, the head coach of the Oregon football team, has been using the song “Jump Around” as a motivational tool to rally his players to victory. In a recent episode of “Ducks vs Them,” Lanning explained how he used the song to inspire the team during a comeback win against Wisconsin. Lanning related the use of “Jump Around” to Pavlov’s dog, explaining how the song was meant to evoke a response from the opposing players but he wanted to control the message it sent to his team. He played the song during team meetings and practices, encouraging his players to enjoy the moment and take advantage of it when it played during the game. The tactic seemed to work, as Oregon went on to win the game with a much-needed interception in the final minutes. The players and even the team mascot, The Duck, were seen dancing and jumping around in celebration. Lanning’s bold and creative maneuvering has helped to keep Oregon undefeated and secure a spot in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. This innovative approach has impressed fans and the media alike, showcasing Lanning’s ability to motivate and lead his team to success in his first season with Oregon.
