Coach Leo Settle

Coach Leo Settle is an accomplished coach and a successful former professional athlete. Currently, Settle oversees sprints and hurdles as an assistant track and field coach at SMU. Prior to coming to SMU, Settle has been a part of numerous collegiate track and field programs, including California State University Northridge, University of Texas at El Paso, University of New Mexico, and University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Settle obtained his Master of Sciences in Exercise Science during his time in Little Rock. His experience also extends to coaching Olympic athletes. His athletes have brought home both NCAA All-American awards and conference championship titles while maintaining award-winning GPA’s under Settle’s direction.

Settle’s passion for his athletes’ success in all areas of life is shown in their success on and off the track. He believes athletics is a lifestyle that inspires teamwork, strong character, self-efficiency, integrity, and the art of being a champion. Settle wants to instill this belief into the younger generations before they reach college athletics. This drove him to create SETGO TRAIN in 2018, which made its first appearance in LA and has now been brought to Dallas.
