Logan Renkowski’s journey is proof that your path doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s to get where you’re supposed to go. From the USHL to the NAHL, back to the USHL, Logan continued to bet on himself. He kept working, kept believing and refused to let adversity define where his career was headed. Then came the breakthrough. 43 goals. 63 points. A Clark Cup Championship with the Sioux Falls Stampede. And now, the next chapter at the University of Vermont. Logan’s story is bigger than the numbers. It’s about staying committed when the journey changes. It’s about believing in yourself when the path gets difficult. And it’s about understanding that sometimes adversity is exactly what prepares you for what comes next. Different path. Same dream. Keep going. Keep believing. Your journey is YOUR journey.

BUILD YOUR BRAND!!! In this edition of WORKING IN SPORTS, Nick Bowins breaks down one of the most important lessons for anyone trying to get their foot in the door of the sports industry: YOU are your best marketing tool. Your reputation, your work, your relationships, and the way you present yourself all become part of your brand. Getting the opportunity is only the beginning. Find the right position, prove your value, build relationships, and keep stacking experience from there. You don’t need to start at the top. You need to get in the room and BUILD YOUR BRAND from there. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

BE COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE. For more than 25 years, Brijesh “Coach B” Patel has built athletes, coaches, and cultures around one belief: real growth starts outside your comfort zone. As Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Performance at Quinnipiac University, Coach B has helped build a championship-level environment centered on preparation, accountability, relationships, and developing the person before the athlete. In 2024, he was named the NSCA Collegiate Coach of the Year. On this episode of Locker Room Life, Coach B dives into leadership, embracing adversity, setting standards, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable can change the trajectory of your life. This one is bigger than performance. It’s about becoming better. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The work doesn’t stop when things don’t go your way. That’s when it matters most. Cameron Korpi joins Locker Room Life to talk about the journey of a goaltender who has continued to work, adapt and bet on himself through every stage of his career. From AAA hockey to the NTDP, NAHL, four seasons of USHL experience, the University of Michigan and now Union College, Cameron’s path has been built through experience, adversity and a relentless commitment to getting better. We dive into the mentality required to play one of the toughest positions in sports. The pressure of being the last line of defense. Learning how to respond after a bad game. Staying confident when opportunities change. And understanding that development is rarely a straight line. After his freshman season at Michigan, Cameron made the decision to transfer to Union. He responded by starting 26 games, winning 15, recording five shutouts and setting Union’s Division I era program record with a 160:06 shutout streak. That doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from work. Preparation. Patience. Self belief. And showing up every single day when nobody is watching. Cameron’s story is a reminder that your path can change without your goal changing. Keep working. Keep competing. Keep believing. Because sometimes the opportunity you’ve been waiting for comes after you’ve proven you’re willing to keep going without it.

Nate McBrayer joins Locker Room Life to talk about the journey behind getting to where he is today and the years of work, sacrifice and dedication that people don’t always see. Growing up in Ohio, Nate developed a love for the game early. But wanting something and earning it are two completely different things. We dive into what it took to keep climbing, leaving home, competing at higher levels, learning through adversity, developing confidence in his game and ultimately earning the opportunity to come back home and wear the Ohio State sweater. Nate talks about the importance of putting in the work when nobody is watching, staying committed to your development, trusting yourself through the ups and downs and understanding that success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s about embracing where you come from while refusing to let where you are today determine where you can go tomorrow. No shortcuts. No guarantees. Just work, belief and a commitment to getting better every single day. Ohio raised. Ohio developed. Ohio State Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For Lucas Van Vliet, the mission is simple: focus on becoming the best version of yourself every single day. Not worrying about where everyone else is. Not chasing somebody else’s timeline. Not letting the outside noise dictate the work. It’s about dedication to the process, belief in yourself, and showing up every day with the intention to improve. The biggest results don’t happen overnight. They’re built through the days nobody sees—the extra work, the setbacks, the sacrifices, and the decision to keep pushing when it would be easier not to. Believe in where you’re going. Stay committed to who you’re becoming. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mike Young knows what it means to bet on yourself. Comedian. Writer. Director. Producer. But behind every title is a story built on the grind, adversity, unwavering belief, and the decision to keep going when the path wasn’t guaranteed. Mike talks about believing he could turn comedy into a career long before the success showed up — trusting his instincts, staying committed to his passion, and having the self-belief to push through the difficult moments. But one of the biggest lessons? Don’t get so focused on what’s next that you forget to enjoy where you are. Success is fun. The grind is real. But life gets even better when you stop, live in the moment, appreciate the journey, and enjoy the people and experiences along the way. Listen and learn. Life ain’t easy — but it’s all worth it.

Noah Powell’s journey was never supposed to be easy. Adversity. Injuries. Setbacks. Doubt. At almost every stop, something stood in the way. But Noah kept finding a way forward. After going undrafted in 2023, he came back and exploded for 43 goals in the USHL, leading the league and forcing the hockey world to take notice. Then came the moment he had been chasing: hearing his name called by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2024 NHL Draft. But getting drafted wasn’t the finish line. The road continued through Ohio State, Oshawa, Arizona State and ultimately into professional hockey with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. In March 2026, Powell signed his three-year entry-level contract with Philadelphia, officially opening the next chapter. This story isn’t just about talent. It’s about PERSEVERANCE. DEDICATION. GRIT. Getting knocked down. Getting hurt. Getting overlooked. And continuing to show up anyway. Noah Powell is officially a pro. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
