A six-time varsity athlete, Mary Hulbert played squash, tennis, and basketball during her time at Andover. In her senior year, she captained the tennis team. Hulbert went on to play squash at Harvard, where she was a threetime All-American and a four-time All-Ivy selection. In addition, she was selected to the U.S. Squash Team in 1983, which placed sixth in the World Championship that year—the United States’ highest finish until 2014. Hulbert played in the No. 1 position all four years at Harvard. She completed her senior year with a 12–0 10
record and as champion of the WISA tournament; she was the first Harvard student to win that title. Ranked No. 1 by the College Squash Association, Hulbert received the Betty Richey Squash Award, given annually to the “women’s squash player who best exemplifies the ideals of squash in her love of and devotion to the game, her strong sense of fairness, and her excellence of play and leadership.” In 2000, Hulbert was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame and the College Squash Association Hall of Fame. Hulbert was
also an Ivy League Silver Anniversary Team Selection. Hulbert went on to earn a master’s degree from Antioch University New England, where she focused on both environmental studies and organization and management. From 1989 to 1991, Hulbert coached women’s squash at Dartmouth. Hulbert is the founder and principal of True Directions, a coaching and consulting company that provides executive and life coaching and team and leadership development programs.
