Good Morning Gators: Mark Hocke leading Florida through Regimen phase
Florida Gators football is the No. 1 topic in Good Morning Gators every day — but we cover news, notes and analysis from across the Gators sports world. Join us each morning to get caught up on everything in the world of Florida football, UF recruiting, Gators basketball, Florida baseball and more.
From The Swamp to the weight room, the Gators are putting in work this summer.
The Florida football team is currently in the fifth phase of its offseason program, called Regimen. It’s a nine-week training block to get the players ready for fall camp.
Florida’s official Twitter account shared a video of the players running stadiums with director of speed improvement and skill development Tiger Jones. UF also shared the results from the first week of competition after holding its inaugural Regimen Draft.
The latest glimpse of the Gators’ offseason is the team working out in the weight room with associate head coach and director of football strength and conditioning Mark Hocke.
Hocke has spent seven years with Florida coach Billy Napier, working together at Alabama for three total years and spending the last four seasons with him at Louisiana.

“Work with consistency. It’s one thing to do it some of the time, it’s a different thing to be able to do it all of the time,” Hocke tells the players in the video below. “How we respond to adversity is what’s going to define us.”
