LEIGH HENNESSY ROBSON, the Trampoline Pundit, earned multiple national and world trampoline titles during her career. She was inducted into the USAG Hall of Fame in 2007 while her father, Jeff Hennessy, coach of the US National Trampoline Team and the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, was a 1996 inductee. They are the only father-daughter USAG Hall of Fame inductees.
Since her retirement from athletic competition, trampoline became an Olympic sport. As a result, trampoline’s popularity has grown, enjoying a greater focus in the media and the internet. For the past couple of years, she has been an Expert Commentator for Acrobatic Sports TV and keenly follows trampoline events around the world.
Today, Leigh splits her time between New Orleans and Scotland with her Scottish husband, Mark. She continues to work in the film business and still owns a trampoline.
