Hackley Coaches
Guided by skilled and passionate coaches, our student-athletes develop both their abilities and character, building a foundation for success on and off the field.
Hackley coaches, many of whom are faculty members, bring a deep understanding of our students to the playing field. They teach our student-athletes the life lessons of passion, respect, determination, hard work and sportsmanship that stay with them long after they leave the Hilltop.

Why do you coach?
"I love coaching because building a team presents the perfect opportunity for players to grow together through their love of the sport and pursuit of a common goal. I love coaching because sports allow players to lean into discomfort, to push themselves harder than they knew they could, to play for one another and something bigger than themselves, to learn how to deal with both victory and defeat, and most of all, to grow and learn and care about something with all of their hearts, even when things are hard, or maybe especially when things are hard. I love coaching because the bonds that are formed on the field in the name of sport are unbreakable, throughout a season and for a lifetime."
-Jenny Leffler, Varsity Field Hockey and Girls’ Lacrosse Head Coach, Hackley English teacher
