Kelsey Anderson: Carving Her Own Path

This week, the Lautners took The Squeeze to Detroit, Michigan for an exclusive sit-down interview with Aidan Hutchinson, former Michigan Wolverine and current Detroit Lion, widely regarded as one of the NFL’s best defensive players. Aidan opens up about the moment his record-setting season abruptly ended with a devastating leg injury, breaking both his tibia and fibula. He shares the raw emotions of being carted off the field, the challenges of acceptance and recovery, and what his coach Dan Campbell shared with him post-injury. Aidan reflects on the Lions' historic season, his admiration for the team's performance in his absence, and the delicate balance between his drive to return and prioritizing his long-term health. He offers insights into his rehab progress, mental outlook, and the unwavering support of his family throughout his recovery. Aidan also reveals how the experience has reshaped his perspective and shares the mantra that keeps him grounded, along with the inspiration behind his meaningful tattoo.Be sure to follow Aidan https://instagram.com/aidanhutch97 and HOUSE of HUTCH https://instagram.com/thehousehutch/! To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
