selin SARGUT

I was born on August 6, 1987, in Edremit, Turkey, and started my athletic journey at the age of 9 with track and field. Guided by my coach, I pursued my education at a Sports High School and later earned my bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Kocaeli University.
In 2008, I moved to the United States to advance my career, working as a swimming coach for six months. Since 2009, I’ve taken on coaching and managerial roles in various clubs, focusing on swimming, fitness, and running.
Nature and trail running have always been my greatest passions, and I’ve participated in numerous trail races both in Turkey and abroad. Currently, I continue to coach individuals and groups in running, strength training, and HYROX. I also proudly serve as the Head Coach of Merrell Turkey’s One Trail team.
As a coach, I aim not only to guide but also to inspire. I believe in leading by example—being a role model for the athletes I work with, both in training and in life. My mission is to help others discover their own strength, resilience, and love for movement.
