Gimme 5: Sandburg's Obradovich Works to Instill His Love of Football at Youth Camp
Jeff Obradovich is a happy youth fooball camp instructor because he loves the game. He won a state title as an assistant coach at Joliet Catholic, but has spent the last decade at Sandburg.
Jeff Obradovich recently was working with some boys at Sandburg's youth football camp that he sees on a regular basis during the school year as a teacher at Century Junior High.
When he isn't at Century, though, Obradovich is coaching on Dave Wierzal's staff at Sandburg. Obradovich has been a part of the Eagles' football coaching staff for 10 years.
With the camp, Obradovich says he wants to instill his passion for football into his campers, which included his son this year. Obradovich is a graduate of Marist High School and Eureka College, where he played football.
