If you look at the end of the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball bench, you will see a man with a shaved head and a look of focus and intensity. He is not wearing a suit or even a jersey, but a Wisconsin Badgers polo. The man is Erik Helland, known as “Dutch” to friends. Helland is the director of strength and conditioning for all of Wisconsin’s athletics and works directly with the basketball program. He is in his fourth season with the Badgers. Helland has been a part of possibly the greatest run in the program’s history the last few years.
