With our Amazing Losers game on the horizon, we’re spending the days leading up to kick off meeting the lads who’ll be pulling on the shirts in this year’s game at Walsall FC. Our next case study sees us head to Warrington to meet Robert Mutch!
Tell us more about your initial reasons for joining MAN v FAT
When I joined MAN v FAT, I was very overweight and in bad heath. I joined so I could make the right changes to create a better lifestyle. I also wanted to find my love for football again, so saw it as the perfect opportunity.
If you could go back in time and talk to the version of you at the start of your weight loss efforts, what would you tell them about the changes you’ve experienced?
I would tell myself to trust the process and that not everything happens overnight. I would tell myself that I would be going through a huge transformation and that would be able to do things I could never have imagined – I have run a 1/2 marathon and completed my 1st Hyrox, these are two major milestones for me.
Who would you like to thank for their help in your progress?
I would like to thank my mum Lee, girlfriend Georgia, best friend Joe and my coach Nick – I couldn’t have got through this without their constant support on this journey. I would also like to thank everyone at MAN v FAT for their support throughout the process.
What are your future hopes around your health and wellbeing?
I hope to continue to get fitter and improve my PBs with my running and Hyrox. I will continue to complete races so l always have a goal to work towards.
How much are you looking forward to the game?
I am excited to walk out on a proper pitch with a full team of likeminded people who have all been on the same journey as myself and who all understand the struggles we have faced and overcome individually.
