Since joining the team full-time on Jan. 25, 1999, Lovat has worked under three Green Bay strength and conditioning coordinators – Barry Rubin (1999-2005), Rock Gullickson (2006-08) and Redding, who retired following the 2010 season.

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 four years at Lake Havasu City (Ariz.) High School, teaching Spanish as well as coaching football and baseball.
