Tim Hanley begins his third season working with the Stanford men's soccer goalkeepers. In his 2002 rookie season with the Cardinal, Hanley coached Stanford goalkeeper Robby Fulton to a school record 0.43 GAA.
"Tim has been a fantastic addition to our program," said Stanford head coach Bret Simon. "He has a great rapport with the players and a complete knowledge of the sport, in addition to being a goalkeeping specialist."
Hanley is currently in his seventh season as the goalkeeper coach with the San Jose Earthquakes and his 21st year of coaching overall. Hanley has had a great deal of success with the Earthquakes, helping coach the team to two MLS titles (2001 and 2003), serving on the MLS All-Star Game coaching staff (2002) and coaching Joe Cannon and Pat Onstad to MLS Goalkeeper of the Year honors in 2002 and 2003, respectively.
In addition, Hanley has been an assistant coach in both the professional A-League, as well as the Premier Development Soccer League. He has also coached many club teams that have competed in prestigious tournaments such as the Surf Cup (winners in 1999) and Dallas Cup, competing in the Super Group (1999-2000). He is currently working with an Under-17 girls team that plays out of the Stanford Soccer Club. Hanley is also active with the Positive Coaching Alliance.
Hanley had an outstanding playing career before entering coaching, participating in the North American Soccer League for the Tampa Bay Rowdies (1980) and the San Jose Earthquakes (1981, '83-84). He also had stints with the Hibernian Football Club (1982) in Scotland and the Servette of Suisse (1985) in Switzerland.
Hanley has two children, John (15) and Riley (11), and resides in Palo Alto.
