He also shares the lessons he learned from Coach John Beilein’s leadership.

 

“If making a commitment is a common thing, but following through on a commitment, especially when there’s a change in circumstance is an uncommon thing, I believe following through on a commitment when there’s a change in circumstance is doing a common thing in an uncommon way. It’s doing a common thing in an uncommon way, and the result of doing the uncommon thing in an uncommon way is that we’re going to leave people and places a little better than we found them.” -Austin Hatch [21:04]
