Coach Hernandez is in his first season as a graduate student assistant with the Ottawa University men’s and women’s bowling programs.
Hernandez joined the coaching staff after competing for the Braves and earning All-KCAC honors during his collegiate career. He was named Second Team All-KCAC following the 2025-26 season. Hernandez helped Ottawa capture the 2026 KCAC Tournament Championship and earn a berth in the NAIA National Tournament.
As a graduate student assistant, Hernandez works with Ottawa’s bowlers on their development through individual instruction and lessons, helping student-athletes improve both the physical and mental aspects of the sport. He brings his experience as a collegiate bowler into his coaching role and works to help each athlete develop consistency, confidence, and a better understanding of the game.
While winning and competing for championships are goals for Hernandez, he also wants to pass along his knowledge and passion for bowling to the next generation of athletes. His goal is to help Ottawa’s bowlers grow as competitors while giving them the knowledge and tools they can carry with them throughout their careers in the sport.
