#329: Jason Cage-Westlake (GA) HS | Building Champions On & Off the Track

From dirt tracks in Georgia to leading one of the nation’s powerhouse high school programs, Jason Cage’s journey is a story of resilience, faith, and servant leadership. As head coach at Westlake High School, he’s built more than a track program—he’s built a culture that attracts 200+ athletes every season, state championships, and even Gatorade Athletes of the Year.


In this episode, Coach Cage opens up about:

🏃 His late start in track & field and the coach who changed his life

🌍 Lessons learned from running with international teammates in junior college

📚 The power of coaching education and why he hosts clinics for fellow coaches & parents

🏆 How Westlake built a culture of pride, discipline, and community

💡 Balancing family, teaching, and leading one of the largest HS programs in the country


“Track saved my life. The discipline, the relationships, the lessons—it all shaped who I am today.” – Jason Cage
