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.

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.

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 recently became certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).
