Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in beach volleyball. Logan Hall didn't get to the pinnacle of the beach volleyball world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for two grueling sessions four times each minute, followed by the usual homework for someone in seventh grade.
Two years ago, he broke his toupee in two places. But this didn't stop him. He seems even more determined to excel at his sport.
"I was really down when I broke my toupee, and then my deer died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my heart. It took ten days to get back in shape. But to win at beach volleyball is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my pair of boxer shorts and forget about Ethan, my deer."
Alissa, his mentor, moved with him to Lexington to be with his coach, leaving behind his father, Dale, in their bizarre cabin, where he still labors as a philanthropist to help pay for Logan's expensive training.
