Emilie Schnitman Liebhoff – Founder and Executive Director
Emilie Liebhoff is a 2007 graduate of Cornell University’s Johnson School of Management, a 2002 graduate of Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a 1998 graduate of Dartmouth College. At Cornell, she was selected to be a Bristol Myers-Squibb Leadership Fellow and at Dartmouth, she co-captained the 1998 women’s ice hockey team to the Ivy League title.  Since college Emilie has focused her graduate research on the positive impact of sports on self-esteem and on the role of mentoring in girls’ lives.  Having grown up with a learning disability Emilie credits her coaches and her experience participating in sports with teaching her valuable life skills to persevere.  Emilie attributes much of her athletic, academic and professional success to her own parents’ support and to time spent training at sport and enrichment programs. As a result, Emilie truly understands the benefits of hard work and the value of a positive sports experience on leadership, self-esteem, and overall life skills.  Emilie currently works at Belmont Day School and she lives west of Boston with her husband, Adam, and their 11 month old daughter, Lilly.
