About

David Cagle is an IRONMAN Certified Coach and trained life and career coach.  This combination allows David to empower endurance athletes to train with a ‘whole person’ approach.  He specializes in working with people that may not see themselves as athletes (yet) and loves the idea of helping people get started in endurance sports pursuing BIG audacious goals. David is from Northwest Arkansas and grew up in Fayetteville.  He started triathlon training and racing in 2014 to lose weight and ‘get in shape’.  Starting at 47 years old, 60+ pounds overweight, not being able to ride a bike six miles without a break, and barely able to shuffle run a half mile.  David was not a typical athlete. He completed his first race, the Iron Pig Duathlon in March of that year and…was hooked! Since then, he has gone on to complete five Ironman 140.6 races and multiple Ironman 70.3's since 2021. David became a coach specifically to give back to the endurance community help others go from the couch to Ironman!  Current favorite quote:  Your comfort zone will kill you!

Philosophy

I believe lasting transformation happens at the intersection of resilience, intentionality, and balance. True health and performance aren’t achieved through shortcuts or quick fixes—they’re built over time through consistent, meaningful action. My philosophy combines the science of nutrition, the art of endurance training, and the power of mindset coaching to help clients thrive, not just in their athletic pursuits but in all areas of life. It’s about creating a sustainable continuum of growth, where every step forward reinforces a healthier, stronger, and more fulfilled version of yourself.
