He has endured no serious surgeries throughout my athletic career but knows what it takes to rehab and retrain the body to be able to play at a high level again. His competitive sport playing days are indeed over. "With age comes the wisdom that you can’t always play like you used to, but with age also comes the wisdom to know how to take care of your body and look at training as a way of life" says Hutch.
