Gazelles Track Club

Coaches Corner: Coach Moody

Meet Coach Moody—Head Coach of the Gazelles and proud dad to two of our very own college coaches! A lifelong athlete and leader, sports have been in his DNA from the beginning. From football, soccer, and baseball to track, his athletic journey led him to play college football—and now fuels his passion for shaping future generations on and off the field.

With over 20 years of coaching experience, Coach Moody has helped 36 (and counting) athletes earn Division 1 scholarships. But he’s more than just a coach—he’s a relentless encourager on the sidelines, always pushing our kids to be their best.

He loves developing athletes almost as much as he loves a good, long conversation that starts with, “real quick…” You’ll always walk away from a chat with Coach Moody feeling like you just attended a TED Talk—learning something new and didn’t even have to buy a ticket!

Coach Corner: Coach Jacob — or as most know him, Moody!

We’re excited to have Coach Moody returning for his 3rd year with Gazelles! Moody started running with Gazelles when he was young and now brings that same passion and energy to our younger athletes.

Currently playing football and baseball at Hendrix College, Moody uses the techniques he learned in Gazelles across all sports. After college, he plans to continue his journey as a teacher and coach — and we know he’ll be great at both!

You’ll find him leading our younger groups, coaching at meets, and cheering loud from the sidelines.

Fun Fact: Moody still holds the Pike Middle School discus record!

Come throw with him and be part of the fun!

Summer Track Season will be here before we know it!

Interested in your kids running/competing this summer and looking for more information?

Attend one of our Parent Meetings/Practices and check us out!
Monday, First Practice/Parent Meeting: May 12th at 7:00 pm at the Colleyville Heritage Middle School track.
Second Practice/Parent Meeting: Tuesday, May 13th at 7pm at Pike Middle School Track.

We workout every Monday and Wednesday, at HMS, and every Tuesday and Thursday at Pike Middle School.

Kids can go to as many or as few workouts as they can make.

Practices consist of 15-20min stations for the first hour that range in exercises that teach proper running form, strength building, and core/flexibility workouts. After the first hour, we break out into track and field specific events.

Our program is built specifically for all age groups and both inexperienced and experienced athletes.

Many of our coaches are previous Gazelle athletes and previous/current college athletes!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions and we hope to see you at one of our parent meetings/practices in May!
