Mark Lovat
Strength & Conditioning Coordinator
Third Season as NFL Coach
12th Packers Season
Mark Lovat is now in his 12th year and third stint with the team, this season working for the first time in his role as the Packers' strength and conditioning coordinator.
Lovat spent the past 11 seasons as Green Bay's assistant strength and conditioning coach, having joined the team on Jan. 25, 1999. He previously had served two summer internships (1994, 1998) in the club's weight room.
An accomplished athlete himself, Lovat earned a Division I baseball scholarship to Butler University in Indianapolis, starting three seasons at shortstop and second base for the Bulldogs. He also received the 'Helen Tewksbury Award' for academic and athletic leadership during the course of his playing career.
After graduating cum laude and with high honors from Butler in 1992 with a B.A. degree in Spanish and international studies, Lovat spent six-and-a-half years at Lake Havasu City (Ariz.) High School, teaching Spanish as well as coaching football and baseball.
The son of former Green Bay offensive line coach Tom Lovat (1980, 1992-98), Mark earlier had graduated from Carmel (Ind.) High School, where he was a member of a state championship football team (1986) and captain of the baseball team (1988). A member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Lovat became a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) in April of 2000 and was nominated in 2004 by the association for the 'Sports Medicine/Rehabilitation Specialist of the Year Award' for his work in the successful rehabilitation of injuries to Packers tackles Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher.
In 2005, Lovat completed his master's degree in exercise science and performance enhancement from California University of Pennsylvania, and also has earned certifications as a performance enhancement specialist (PES) and as a corrective exercise specialist (CES) from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Additionally, he achieved in 2002 a Level 1 certification through USA Weightlifting, the governing body of the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team.
Lovat is certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and is currently enrolled in a human movement science course as part of his continuing education. He also is a representative for Forge Strength Systems, a strength equipment company founded by former Packers and Seattle Seahawks strength and conditioning coach Kent Johnston.
Born in Pocatello, Idaho, Lovat is single and lives in Green Bay. He enjoys music and travel in his spare time.
