David Lipscomb is a coach who prioritizes fundamentals, consistency, and real-world execution. Through CIS Training Systems™, he helps athletes train with intention and develop the capacity to perform when it matters most. He is known for taking complex performance concepts and translating them into practical actions athletes can repeat—until execution becomes reliable under fatigue.
Data is a mirror, not a verdict.
Power, heart rate, cadence, and workload trends are not labels; they are feedback. The goal is not simply to “raise numbers,” but to build durable performance that holds up under stress.
Martial arts is the hidden architecture. As a 1st Degree Black Belt in Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts, David coaches with dojo standards: precision, composure, and repetition. The objective is simple—make execution dependable under pressure, the same way forms become automatic through disciplined practice.
Across his coaching career, David has guided riders from their first structured training seasons to high-performance environments. His method emphasizes structured progression rather than randomness—because repeatability is what makes improvement predictable. He also emphasizes accountability over intensity for intensity’s sake—because consistent execution beats occasional hero days.
David’s coaching style is direct, standards-based, and supportive. Athletes understand what they are doing, why it matters, and how it connects to their goals. The deliverable is not merely a plan—it is a system and a standard of execution.
Coach with intention. Build clarity. Guide with consistency.
