Biography

Mark Lovat is in his first season with the Titans as assistant strength and conditioning coach. He was hired by Tennessee in 2024 after 25 years with the Green Bay Packers.

Lovat (pronounced "luh-VOTT") was hired by the Packers in 1999 as a strength and conditioning assistant, a title he held for a total of 16 seasons with the team. He was the club's strength and conditioning coordinator from 2010 to 2018.

During Lovat's time with the Packers, he was a part of 17 playoff teams, 12 division titles and one Super Bowl championship (Super Bowl XLV). In 2011, Lovat was named the NFL Strength Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society. The same organization honored him with the Super Bowl Achievement Award in 2010.

Lovat served under four different Packers strength and conditioning coordinators: Barry Rubin (1999-2005), Rock Gullickson (2006-08), Dave Redding (2009) and Chris Gizzi (2019-23). He also previously served two summer internships in the club's weight room.

Lovat was named the NFL Strength Coach of the Year for his work in 2011 by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society, an award based on a vote of his peers in the field. Lovat became the third Green Bay strength coach to win the prestigious honor, joining Kent Johnston (1997) and Gullickson (2007).

In 2010, Lovat was honored by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society with the Super Bowl Achievement Award.

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 and the Mental Attitude Award 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.

Lovat is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). He became a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) in April 2000.

In 2005, Lovat completed his master's degree in exercise science and performance enhancement from California University of Pennsylvania. He 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, in 2002 he achieved a Level 1 certification through USA Weightlifting, the governing body of the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team. Lovat is also certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and completed a human-movement science course as part of his continuing education.

He is the son of longtime NFL offensive line coach Tom Lovat, whose career included time with the Green Bay Packers, St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks, in addition to several years serving at the collegiate level.
