Mr. Jorge L. Olaves Hernandez
(Coach "O")
|
Mr. Olaves has managed the Rattler Aquatic Center at Florida A&M University for over 30 years. Under his leadership, the Aquatic Center has been ranked number one in eight counties for the largest number of participants in safety- and aquatic-related courses. Mr. Olaves' responsibilities are many and he wears many hats, such as: Coordinator of the Aquatic Center and Director of the Aquatics Endorsement in the Health, Physical Education, & Recreation (HPER) Department. He teaches a number of courses within the HPER department.

|
As the Swimming and Diving Head Coach (1997-2002, 2010-2013), Coach “O” built the team from five athletes to 30 athletes. The Swimming and Diving teams achieved the recognition level of HBCU Champions and the coach with the highest number of points. The team ranked # 36 in the country on the 100-free relay and 200-medley relay. Coach "O" also qualified many swimmers and divers for the Southern States Conference Team, and he had one athlete (a diver) go to the National Regional Championships and rank #20 in the country.
In his experience, a person active and alive is a million times more valuable than one who is neither. There is a great need to educate the masses, and by doing so lives will be saved. For this reason, Mr. Olaves became a dedicated expert in health and safety, and instructional development of curriculum in the fields of emergency care, water instruction and rescue, CPR, teacher preparation, HIV/Aids Education, diversity education, and women health and fitness studies.
Mr. Olaves inspires us with the following statements. Martin Luther King said “
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically... Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
” Let us apply this thought to humanity, wherever it may apply and let us do these with “Excellence with Caring.”
