JESS HOGAN, FOUNDER & OWNER OF XPONENT
Welcome to Xponent!
Hi, I’m Jess Hogan and I’m proud to introduce you to my sports performance company, Xponent, dedicated to helping youth athletes achieve their peak performance goals -- on the field and in life.
My Background:
I have been passionate about sports for as long as I can remember. As a young kid, I had the privilege of playing with Busch Soccer Club in St. Louis, Missouri. The club was regarded as one of the best soccer clubs in the United States. Playing club soccer from age 8 to 18 led to the thrill of winning many state and regional championships as well as being awarded the Busch Soccer Club Player of the Year.
After high school, I accepted a full-ride soccer scholarship to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My success as an elite Division 1 soccer standout led me to be called up to play with the U-19 and U-21 United States National Teams. Unfortunately, I suffered an ACL injury playing against the United States Women’s National Team in a friendly. During my college summers, I played for the River Cities F.C. in St. Louis, the New Jersey Wildcats and the Vancouver Whitecaps, all of which were part of the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL).
At the time of college graduation, the women’s professional soccer league had folded and I moved to Kentucky. Ironically, my former assistant soccer coach from Nebraska had also moved to Kentucky with her family. We reconnected and I began my coaching career.
Being trained by some of the best coaches in the world and playing with some of the best players in the world, I recognized my extensive and valuable experience could help develop youth athletes in my area.
I have served as the Director for the Lexington Futbol Club Girl’s Academy and hold the following certifications:
Strength and Conditioning Specialist certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-CSCS)
Certified personal trainer certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-CPT)
Certified as a Multi-Directional Speed Instructor by Lee Taft
Speed and Agility Coach
National D Soccer Coaching license
Why choose Xponent for your athlete?
Xponent is focused on youth sports development. Sports training helps youth develop the skills and mindset that are mandatory in life. I also put a heavy emphasis on service to the community so the athlete develops a giving mentality focused on empathy and compassion for others. Sports performance training and community service create a solid foundation to develop these athletes into the leaders of tomorrow.
Nutrition is essential for supporting an athlete’s general health and training needs. Xponent understands the importance of sports nutrition and to that end, I am excited to offer the services of a Registered Dietician Nutritionist, who is experienced in sports nutrition.

Xponent will meet each athlete right where they are in their journey and help develop their abilities on and off the field.
I look forward to supporting your athlete.
See you on the field,
Coach Jess
