Tracing a journey of commitment, challenge, and growth, a former professional football player reflects on his time at Ohio State under the tutelage of Coach Woody Hayes, his years in the NFL, and his unexpected decision to become an expert gardener.
Chuck Hutchison knows the meaning of hard work-it’s rooted in every chapter of his life story. Born into humble beginnings in rural Ohio, he found football in his youth, which opened doors for him and shaped the trajectory of his life in ways he’d never imagined possible. Under legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, Hutchison won a national championship with the Buckeyes and learned enduring lessons that served him in the NFL, the business world, and beyond.
In the face of injuries, family struggles, mental health challenges, and an earlier-than-expected exit from the NFL, Hutchison came to rely on three basic principles: curiosity, confidence, and conviction. Guided by these foundational ideas, he discovered new ways to grow and heal, transforming the land surrounding his home into a garden masterpiece and breaking new ground in his own life, one shovelful at a time.
Getting My Hands Dirty is a candid and inspiring story of transformation, grit, and tenacity in football, business, and life’s next chapter. Told with authenticity and good humor, Hutchison’s story is proof that the pursuit of inner peace-and a renewed purpose in life-can be found in the most unexpected of places.
