More About Coach Selcuk "Chuck"
Selcuk Caglar is the founder and head coach of Breakaway Speed Lab, where he trains athletes ages 8–18 in speed, agility, and strength. Over 18 years of coaching, he has worked across track and field, cross country, and swim, including eight years coaching at a private school — giving him a rare range across both sprint-based and endurance-based athletic development. He is USATF certified and an NASM-CPT certified strength coach, background-checked, and CPR/First Aid certified.
Selcuk's approach starts with a real assessment, not a guess: a movement screen and speed/agility baseline that identifies exactly where an athlete is losing time or control, before any training plan is built. From there, he works with runners, swimmers, soccer players, court athletes, and field athletes — anyone whose sport demands faster acceleration, sharper change of direction, or more explosive, controlled power. His training philosophy centers on measurable progress: athletes and parents see concrete markers of improvement, not just effort, which he considers the foundation of real athletic confidence.

Every session starts with a clear focus — whether that's acceleration, change-of-direction, or strength to support faster movement. Athletes get a purposeful warm-up, hands-on coaching cues, and drills built around technique first, speed second, so the gains hold up in real competition. Sessions are high-energy but not rushed, and progress is tracked concretely — a faster split, a cleaner cut, more confidence in how an athlete moves — so both athletes and parents can see the work paying off session over session.

Sadie Imam / Sales Executive (Testimonial)
My son trained with Coach Selcuk during the soccer off-season, and the results were remarkable. By the time the season started, he had become one of the fastest players on his team — a transformation that wouldn't have happened without Coach Selcuk's guidance. What sets Coach Selcuk apart is his combination of discipline and motivation. He holds his athletes to a high standard while making them believe they can reach it. My son came in with raw potential and left with real speed, technique, and confidence in his athleticism. As a parent, it's everything to watch your child grow not just physically but in their mindset and work ethic. Coach Selcuk clearly invests in each athlete as an individual. I can't recommend Breakaway Speed Lab enough.
Syed Ahmad / MD (Testimonial)
I just can’t believe the difference coach made with my son’s form and stride. It not only improved his track results but also made him so much more competitive on his soccer team. Coach Selcuk has great attention to detail. He delivers it in a caring manner. Highly recommend him!
Mazine K. / Parent of my athletes (Testimonial)
Coach Chuck at Breakaway Speed Lab is simply outstanding. He has been working with our 9-year-old son on speed, fitness, and strength, and the results speak for themselves every time he steps onto the soccer pitch. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in his speed, confidence, and overall athleticism. What makes Coach Chuck truly special is his positive, professional attitude and the genuine care he shows for our son. This isn’t our first experience with him either—he also trained our daughters, and both benefited tremendously from his coaching. Coach Chuck is top-notch in every way. His expertise, encouragement, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our family. We’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s done and are proud to call him not only an exceptional coach but also a family friend. We highly recommend Breakaway Speed Lab to any family looking to help their young athlete reach their full potential.
