Athlete Profiles: July 2014

Name: Julie Hubbard

Nickname on the boards: Julie….boring, I know. Meagles tried to get Hubba (my college nickname) to catch on, but it doesn’t seem to have stuck.

Member Since: June 2009

Occupation: Chief Financial Officer for a private foundation that funds educational research.

Words to live by: Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes

Favorite quote: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” Maya Angelou

Favorite movies: Old School, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Wedding Crashers, Juno, The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, Argo….

Favorite Food: Pizza, pizza and more pizza, although I don’t eat it too often. I did the Winter Nutrition Challenge and haven’t been the same since! Cutting out wheat, sugar and alcohol makes me feel like a champ!

Favorite music or artist: I like a lot of different music. Some of the music I’m currently listening to: Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, U2, Steep Canyon Rangers, Punch Brothers and various others

Favorite sport or activity: Sports; crossfit, skiing, stand up paddleboard, I love reading and I’m also learning to play the fiddle.

Sport or activity that you are training for: Nothing specific, so I’ll just say I’m training for life.

Personal Goals: My continual goal is to be a better person, by that I mean trying to be a positive force in the world. I’d like to spend more time giving back to others.

Professional Goals: I enjoy my job and am glad I moved from the corporate world to the non-profit world

Athletic goals: I’m not very close, but someday I’d love to get a muscle up! I’m starting the second phase of the female body comp track (stack’d) and very excited about it.

I am passionate about: my husband, Marc, and our dogs, Juno and Scrappy. Also my friends and family! I love learning new things (even when I’m not good at them).

Name some things we don’t know about you:

I have an incredibly immature sense of humor (I am guaranteed to laugh if you say “nuts” or “balls”).
I went to band camp (I played the French horn)
I was a spectator at the 2004 Olympics in Greece, I’m pretty sure I saw Sheena
My favorite crossfit apparatus is chalk

Adventure you are planning: this summer I’m going on two week long family vacations (one with my family, one with my husband’s family), if that’s not an adventure, I don’t know what is.
