Take the Court with the Player of the Week - Logan O.

This week, we’re proud to spotlight Logan O. from the Prevail Volleyball family—a player whose love for the game began in 8th grade and has since grown into a journey shaped by great coaching, steady growth, and personal transformation. Logan’s story is one of perseverance, inspiration, and the belief that greatness comes from within—but it’s built by those who lift you up along the way.

The Beginning: A Spark in Eighth Grade

For Logan, volleyball began as something new—something he tried in 8th grade and quickly connected with. That first introduction opened the door to a sport that would not only become a passion, but also shape his mindset, discipline, and perspective as a teammate.

“I started playing in 8th grade. It became something I didn’t just enjoy—I wanted to get better at it.”

Why Prevail? Growth, Support, and Unmatched Coaching

What sets Prevail apart for Logan is simple: the coaching staff. For him, one coach in particular changed everything—Coach Brie.

“The coaching staff shows you how to be a great player. That was Coach Brie for me.”

Logan found more than a technical coach—he found a mentor who believed in him, built his confidence, and helped him recognize that he deserves to be here.

The Power of Mentorship: Inspired to Grow

Coach Brie’s role in Logan’s development goes far beyond court strategy. She’s helped him understand the importance of being a good teammate and person, on and off the court.

“Coach Brie taught me how to be a better person and an even better teammate.”

Her determination to make every player better—regardless of position or background— is what truly left an impact.

“She wants to help everyone, no matter if she doesn’t even know their position.”

That level of commitment showed Logan what real leadership looks like and inspired him to become a player who lifts others the same way.

A Confidence That’s Been Earned

Like many athletes, Logan has faced moments of doubt. But thanks to the reminders from his coach and teammates, he’s learned to carry himself with confidence and pride in his growth.

“The constant reminder that I’m good enough to play… that I deserve to be at this level of volleyball.”

Those words stay with him during tough moments—and they’re what fuel his hunger to keep climbing, competing, and improving.

Role Models On and Off the Court

Beyond Coach Brie, Logan looks up to athletes like Nate McDonald and Logan Tran, whose ability to bounce back and stay locked in—even after a mistake—has shaped how Logan handles challenges during matches.

“They don’t hang their heads when they mess up. They pick it up and get ready to win.”

That resilience is something Logan brings to his own game. He’s learning that being a great player isn’t about being perfect—it’s about staying ready for the next point and leading with confidence.
