Olympic champion and three-time Olympic medalist, Michiel Bartman, joined the Temple coaching staff in August of 2019.
Bartman spent his first six years in the United States as the head coach at Vesper Boat Club, continued to coach at Harvard University as the head coach for the men and women lightweight programs for five years and the past three years he served as the director of rowing and head coach for Port Rowing, a community rowing club in Port Washington, NY. In those years his rowers won National and Eastern Sprints Championships, medals at IRA's, World Championships and Olympic Games.
A native of the Netherlands, Bartman coached many Dutch national crews during his outstanding competitive career as a rower. A 12-time national team member for the Netherlands, Bartman transitioned to full-time coaching in 2005 following a rowing career that featured three Olympic medals, three world championships medals and 13 World Cup medals.
With his boatmates in the Dutch men's eight, Bartman reached the pinnacle of competitive rowing by winning a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. The gold came after setting a world record and several course records during an undefeated 1996 season. He later won silver in the quad in 2000 in Sydney and in the eight in 2004 in Athens.
Bartman was a part of two Henley Royal Regatta championships. He raced in the eight that won the Grand Challenge Cup in 2004, and in the quad that won the Queen Mother Cup in 2000. The Grand Challenge win was the first by a Dutch crew in Henley's signature event.
A graduate of the College of Economic Studies, Amsterdam, Bartman earned a bachelor's degree in economics in 1992.
Bartman also served as chairman of the Dutch National Olympic Committee Athletes Commission from 2002-04. He has received great recognition in his native country for his accomplishments. He was named Amsterdam's Male Sports Personality of the Year, along with teammate Diederik Simon, in 2004 and was part of the city's Team of the Year in 1996 and 2004.
