"We are so pleased with our Lectureship with Scott. He was the perfect choice for us and the topic was excellent and allowed him to share many interesting stories. He did everything we asked of him with a smile. We have had excellent feedback. I would enthusiastically recommend him to any other Delta Gamma group for a lectureship and the national organization for a convention presentation."
-University of Akron"Scott Hamilton - a gentle soul with a powerful message of hope, endurance, faith and ultimately survivorship. One of the nation’s most adored athletes will bring your audience to their feet with his honest and heartfelt delivery of overcoming great obstacles. While his medals are many, his story and second act in life are his greatest achievements. Scott delivers a dynamic call to action to his audience and challenges each person to embrace their obstacles as a way of redirection and change for their life - and he does it all in the way we know Scott Hamilton best – truly Olympic winning style."
-Women Survivors Alliance & SURVIVORville"Anyone who has the pleasure to meet or work with Scott Hamilton should consider themselves incredibly lucky. He is one of the most positive and inspiring people I’ve ever met and working with him and his team on the redesign and relaunch of the CARES Foundation website was such a pleasure filled with strong communication and good energy. Experiencing Scott speak in front of VML’s Kansas City headquarters was remarkable and such a gift. He carries himself with such poise – and evokes enthusiasm, passion and a rate connection with the crowd that leaves people feeling inspired and wanting more."
-VLM"He had the people asking for more."
-CardinalHealth"Just a note to let you know that Scott KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK last night!!!!!!!!!! He had the audience laughing and crying all at the same time – including me. He got a standing ovation. He was gracious and agile and real - and we could not have asked for a more inspirational way to end the day. We are grateful."
-Conference Services, Premier Inc."We laughed. We cried. We left inspired. Mr. Scott Hamilton may be known for his Olympic gold medals, but he spoke to our group of educators as a parent with a child who needed extra academic support. Through his own story of challenge and triumph, we were reminded of how important it is for young people to have champions in their lives."
-TN Department of Education Extended Learning Programs"Scott Hamilton’s celebrity is only surpassed by his kindness and ability to connect with audiences. A seasoned communicator, Scott’s self-deprecating style, vulnerability and stage presence has the power to move, evoke smiles and most importantly — pulls audiences forward into their seats and towards something that matters. And working with Scott is a joy since he is collaborative, focused and motivated."
-VML"Scott’s appearance at our company pep rally was just what we hoped for. He tailored his talk to meet our needs, and the presentation he gave was perfect. Our associates were energized by his message and his positive outlook. And they were thrilled to have an Olympic champion in their presence. We appreciate Scott’s flexibility in working with us, and we look forward to working with him again!"
-Third Federal Savings & Loan"Scott Hamilton was such an entertaining and uplifting speaker. We were incredibly blessed to have him speak at our Children’s Hope Award Dinner tonight. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your heart and your personal story with us. You touched every person in the room tonight. May the Lord continue to use you to bless others."

The Meaning Of LIFE
The most recognized male figure skating star in the world, Scott Hamilton has won 70 titles, awards and honors including an Emmy Award nomination, induction into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and a privileged member of the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
In 1984, Scott captured the attention of the world with his Olympic Gold medal performances in Saravejo and since has shared his love and enthusiasm for the sport as an analyst/commentator, performer, producer and best-selling author (Fritzy Finds a Hat, 2020, Finish First: Winning Changes Everything, 2018, The Great Eight, 2009 and Landing It, 1999). Scott further inspires others as a speaker, humanitarian, and as a cancer and pituitary brain tumor survivor.
After losing his mother to cancer, then becoming survivor himself, Scott turned activist, launching the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship). He founded several education and survivorship programs including Chemocare.com and the 4th Angel Mentoring Program. In addition to those programs, Scott wrote Fritzy Finds A Hat to help ease the conversation with children about cancer, with proceeds benefitting the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation. Events such as Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer and An Evening with Scott Hamilton & Friends galas fund research into treatments that beat the cancer while sparing the patient.
Scott recently launched Live Your Days - a call to being present and not let day after day pass, just going through the checklist of life. It is about putting down your phone to enjoy the people and moments that God has given you, because we don’t control the number of days we have on this earth, we only control what we do with them. The online platform includes a weekly podcast interview, 30-day life challenges with easy to implement tips and merchandise, with proceeds benefitting the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation.
He is also the founder of the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy at the Ford Ice Centers in Antioch and Bellevue, TN, where he may frequently be found coaching Learn to Skate students and sharing his love of skating.
In what little free time remains, Scott can be found on the golf course and enjoys spending time with his wife Tracie and their four children at their home in Nashville, Tennessee.
