Matt Holland has coached for T.C. Williams since 2006. He is a veteran of the Potomac, in Alexandria and Washington, DC. In the 1990s he rowed for T.C. Williams under coaches Phil Yeich, Sarah Washington, Ed Cannon, and Mike Penn. He also competed out of Thompson's Boat Center racing in the eight and the four, medaling in both at the Mid-Atlantic Junior District Championships. 
 
In 2010 Matt coached the T.C. Williams freshman men's eight to a stellar season.  Inspired by "the bucket" and motivated by each other, the T.C. Williams freshman eight went on to win gold at the Ted Phoenix Championship regatta and place within the top ten freshman crews at SRAA Nationals in Saratoga Springs, New York. 
 
Matt is a third grade teacher in Alexandria and is busy working hard to recruit future Titan rowers, starting with his current eight and nine year old students. They have come to love the erg and are accustomed to completing 20-30 burpees for late and incomplete homework assignments. Matt plans to have them weighing in at 225lbs and standing 6'4" tall by the time they reach 8th grade.
 
When he is not teaching and coaching Matt enjoys spending time with his family, photography, and partaking in outdoor adventures. In 2003 Matt biked 4,300 miles from the east coast to the west coast.  In the summer of 2008 Matt completed a 2,300 mile bike ride from Seattle to Chicago to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma.  While long distance bike rides are not in his near future, Matt is always looking for a new outdoor challenge.
