Brett Holt begins his first season as an assistant coach for the Otterbein volleyball program in 2019.
Holt spent the past two years at Mintonette Sports in Powell serving as a club coach and private-lesson instructor. He coached a successful traveling team that qualified for the USAV Girl’s Junior Nationals in both 2018 and 2019, which included five top-three finishes in the 17-and-under division.
Prior to Mintonette, Holt spent five years as Director of Operations/Head Coach for the men’s and women’s volleyball programs at Missouri Valley College.  He was hired in August of 2012 and soon began putting together a decorated run, ultimately compiling a 216-95 overall record (149-67 with the women across six seasons, and 67-28 with the men spanning three seasons).
Holt guided three NAIA All-Americans, five AVCA All-Region selections, 42 all-conference performers and a handful of special award winners. His 2017 squad made the school’s first appearance in the NAIA National Tournament, delivered its first 30-win season and a fifth-straight 20-win campaign. Holt’s student-athletes also performed well in the classroom with 46 NAIA Scholar Athletes and six-consecutive AVCA Team Scholar Awards.
Holt has an undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and a master’s from the University of Central Missouri. He now lives in downtown Columbus and works full time as assistant manager at GO: Fitness in Italian Village.
