Farewell Brendan Logan (Logs)
Friday, January 10, 2025
At the conclusion of the 2024 year we said farewell to our Health and Wellbeing Officer Brendan Logan. Brendan has been apart of the Mendi Blackhawks for many years and has been a massive part in the health and wellbeing of our players over the years.
Brendan began teaching in 1988 at Collinsville High School and this is where his love of North Queensland began. A transfer in 1989 brought him to Townsville. Apart from a three-year stint in Perth, where he met his wife Sally, Townsville has been home. They have two daughters, Isabelle and Holly.
Brendan has taught at Heatley High School, Ignatius Park College and Townsville Flexible Learning Centre. Along the way he has played football for Collinsville, Mosman Cottesloe (Perth) and Brothers (Townsvillle) (League and Union).
Brendan has been the Wellbeing Manager at The Townsville Mendi Blackhawks since 2018. Wellbeing is not just physical. It is also psychological, family, relationships, cultural, spiritual, career, financial, environmental and community. To be their best on the field our young men need to have things in order off the field. Brendan’s role is to offer support in all aspects of wellbeing and if required, engage our young men with people and services who can help them be the best they can be.
Aside from the heath and wellbeing of the players, Brendan attended schools with our Community Engagement Officer James Tamou to help give back to the community and work through our Resilience Program with selected schools during the term.
We want our young men to be ambassadors for our club and for the game. We want them to enjoy playing the great game of Rugby League and we want them to flourish in the great game of life
Thank you Brendan for your many years of hard work and contribution to helping our players be the best they can both on and off the field, your work never went unnoticed and we wish you all the best for the future.
