Welcome to the Mental Performance Center, Coach Al Hogan. π
Al comes to MPC with a background that is genuinely one of a kind.
A retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 with 22 years of service, including two Bronze Stars earned during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan and assignment to the Department of Defense Executive Protection Unit, providing personal protection to the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Army, and other high risk personnel.
After retiring from the military, Al continued his service as a Federal Law Enforcement Special Agent at the GS15 level, training and instructing in control tactics, street survival, and executive protection at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
Leadership and discipline have never been concepts for Al. They have been a way of life.
Since founding Team Randori Martial Arts in Maryland, Al earned his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt in 2019 and went on to become a two time IBJJF World Champion, winning the Masters 4 title in 2017 and the Masters 5 title in 2019. He also holds a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology, bringing an academic understanding of human behavior to everything he teaches.
Al knows what it takes to perform under real pressure. Now he brings that standard to the athletes he coaches through MPC.
We are glad to have him in the community.
Welcome, Coach Hogan. π
