About Cara Heads Slaughter:

Cara Heads Slaughter is one of the most sought after weightlifting coaches in the DC metro region providing guidance to over 80 athletes and coaches each week. Cara has served as a competition coach at every level- local, national and international, including as a coach at the 2016 USA Olympic Team Trials. Additionally, Cara has been appointed by USA Weightlifting to assist at numerous USAW training camps at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO.

Cara enjoyed a successful 18-year career as an Olympic weightlifter, earning 2 junior and 8 senior national championship titles, setting numerous junior and senior American records, and representing the United States at 6 world championships and as a member of the 2000 USA Olympic Team in Sydney.

Throughout her career, Cara was provided the unique opportunity to train at top USA Weightlifting regional weightlifting training centers, including as a resident athlete at the Olympic Training Center, and to learn from some of the most respected weightlifting coaches in the United States- Tony Ciarelli, Michael Cohen, Bob Morris, and Dr. Kyle Pierce.

Prior to competing in Olympic weightlifting full time, Cara was a Division I collegiate athlete, earning an athletic scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley. As a freshman, Cara competed in the discus and hammer throw, placing third in the hammer at the (Pac-10) track & field conference championships.
