Hollister did not have to go very far to find the next leader of its volleyball program. Hasin Leonard has been named Head Volleyball Coach effective the start of the 2020 season.
Leonard served as an assistant this past season to Alexis Mitchell and has been a math teacher at Hollister for two years. In a press release from the school, Leonard remarked: “As an athlete, I would never have had the success that I had without a coach that saw my potential and nurtured my confidence. When I decided to get into coaching I knew I wanted to be the coach who saw that light in athletes and pushed them towards it until they saw it too. If I can help at least one young lady find that inner confidence and how to push towards her goals playing volleyball and she in turn uses it to push towards her goals in life, then I have had success as a coach.”
Leonard takes over the reigns from Mitchell, who has resigned her post at Hollister and will be on the staff at Branson, next year.
