About.
Matt Mobley is the founder of Wild Mountain Endurance Training. A former U.S. Army Infantry Scout, Sniper Team Leader, Drill Sergeant, Infantry Officer, and Ranger-qualified Paratrooper with 24 years service including multiple combat tours, Matt's extensive leadership skills and coaching methods were developed and honed over a career full of diverse assignments around the globe.
Matt's commitment to endurance sports and fitness began early in his military career with trail running, marathons, and arctic mountaineering while stationed in Alaska. He was then selected as a member of several Army post running teams that competed nationally in the early 2000's. By 2004, Matt took on the challenge of multi-sport, earning several podium finishes in both duathlon and triathlon. In 2010, after a second assignment to Alaska, he transitioned back to ski-racing, more military mountaineering, and ultra-distance cross-country skiing. Upon his return to the Lower 48 he went back into distance running and continued to push himself with several ultra-marathon events through the 2010's followed by a return to his true athletic love, long-distance triathlon racing, where he continues to compete nationally.
Matt is a graduate of the U.S. Army Ranger School, the Officer Candidate School, the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Course, the Modern Army Combatives Trainer Program, the Combat Lifesaver Course, and EMT Certification training, among many other Leadership, Combat Readiness, Military Fitness, Training Instructor, and Infantry Command Courses. He holds degrees from North Carolina State University and the University of Tampa as well as triathlon and endurance sports coaching certificates from Ironman U and The Endurance Sports Coaching Institute.
In addition to coaching at Wild Mountain Endurance, Matt is the author of two books—As They Were (W&P, Eugene, Oregon, 2022) and Four Dispositions of War (BSPG, London, UK, 2023)—and his work continues to appear in a variety of journals and magazines around the country. His work can also be found on Substack at — wildmountainmonk.substack.com — where he writes a weekly newsletter for athletes pursuing both spiritual growth and physical fitness, drawing motivational connections between a disciplined life of spirituality and the pursuit of athletic excellence.
