The Faces Behind the Movement: Nick Hatch

Hello! My name is Nick Hatch, I am a recent graduate from the University of Utah where I earned my degree in Exercise and Sport Science with an emphasis as a Health and Wellness Specialist. Before I begin, I want to say that I am no professional blogger, and don’t have a social media presence. However, I am very grateful for this opportunity to introduce myself, and to share my passion and excitement for Health Movement.

Growing up I had the opportunity to play all sports but baseball, basketball and football were my main three. I loved it. I loved being active. I loved to exercise and I wasn’t half bad either. Of all the sports I played, football was my #1. I love the atmosphere, the game and all the hard work that goes into being successful. I know this is where I developed a competitive drive to be and do my very best, and like most kids, I aspired to play in the NFL.

As a walk-on at the University of Utah I had the opportunity to train, practice and play at the collegiate level. It was an opportunity of a lifetime!

Unfortunately, I sustained an injury that potentially could impact my life later down the road.

It was a hard decision for me, but after meeting with my coaches I decided to hang up my cleats. But as you can imagine, I had some  D-line playing weight to lose. I wanted to maintain good health so I could enjoy the highest quality of life possible.

I, like many of you, was bombarded with information on how to best lose weight, from fad diets, pills, and weight loss plans a plenty. “Don’t eat carbs!!” “Go on a cleanse!” “Starve and have one cheat day!”

However, I knew I wanted to lose weight and keep it off, and I knew that wasn’t going to come from any of these methods, it was going to come from healthy living.

80% of the chronic diseases that our country suffers from can be prevented through living a healthy lifestyle.

I have made significant progress with my weight and health. In fact I’m down 40 pounds. I’ve done it by making simple changes to the way I live, not by following a “fad diet.” My goal is to enjoy life to the fullest, and I know I need my health to do that.

We each have our own reasons to be healthy. Discover yours! Check out Healthmovement.com, JOIN THE MOVEMENT, challenge your friends and enjoy the highest quality of life your health has to offer.

    Ground Rules

    No judging: we’re all on the same journey, just at different stages so let’s not tear each other down. 
    Be honest: let’s get real and let’s do it fast because we are running out of time. 
    Be open minded and kind: there’s no right or wrong answer (sure some may be better than others) but let’s be open to someone else’s viewpoint. 

    Accept responsibility: you’re an adult with personal control living in a free land; no one is forcing you to do anything. Assume responsibility for your own actions while we simultaneously work to make the whole system better.
