In the first 27 years of his life, Austin Hatch has survived two separate plane crashes, leaving him with the tremendous loss of his immediate family, as well as a severe list of injuries that nearly took his life. When he came out of a 2-month long coma after the second plane crash, he had to relearn basic life skills such as walking and talking. He made the decision that he was going to find a way to fulfill his dream of playing basketball at the University of Michigan—which he did. Instead of choosing to dwell on his circumstances, Austin has decided to share his life experiences with others, providing a variety of organizations with a message of overcoming adversity, grit and hope. Austin now is a full-time motivational speaker, and lives with his wife Abby in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
