From the Coaches & Athletes:
Gary Hackmann brings many joys to the athletes when he comes out to Liberty. He always has a joke to be made or a comment to say, whether it’s before the game or during the game sitting on the bench. He is always right there to pick you up and tell you to go get 5 steals or get 6 more points. He encourages the team the same as other people. On the injury side, anytime something is wrong I know I can go to him. He will tell me what I need to do or suggest ice to put on. He knows what he is doing when it comes to injuries and many people trust him with what he says. I believe Gary is a great person to have in our community and at our basketball games. – Student-Athlete, Liberty Eagles
I’d like to express my gratitude for Gary Hackman and his ability to be the greatest trainer around. Gary and I have worked together for 15 plus years. I’m always amazed at how he’s able to handle every situation when it comes to caring for the athlete and the process of recovery to get them back on the field. I know on many occasions he has gone out of his way to make time to see individual athletes when it may be inconvenient and will do what is possible to get them back on the playing field. I hope Gary continues his work with QHS Athletics, the school, coaches, and student-athletes. We are all thankful for his effort and dedication. – Phil Neally, Head Wrestling Coach/Assistant Football Coach – Quincy High School
Gary is always a quiet, get to work, no-nonsense kind of guy. He is great with the players and coaches. Even in our fantasy football league this year, he talked no trash (unlike everyone else!) and yet beat us all. – Rick Little, Head Football coach – Quincy High School
Gary Hackman does an absolutely awesome job for the Track team! He deals with the athletes in the most positive and down to earth way. He reports everything to the Event Coach and Head Coach after each visit to make sure we are all on the same page. We would be lost without him! – Matt McClelland, Head Track & Field/Cross Country Coach – Quincy High School
Quincy High School is so fortunate to have Gary Hackmann working with our athletes! His ability to communicate with players and coaches is tremendous. In the athletic arena, it is imperative that our players and coaches work with someone that they can trust. Gary has the trust of both at Quincy High School. – Scott Douglas, Athletic Director – Quincy High School
