The Coaching and Leadership series continues with a Team USA Senior International Coach, Cara Heads Slaughter. In this episode, we have a candid and fun conversation on the impact of sports on personal growth, the importance of coaching and mentorship, and the challenges of trusting the coaching process. Cara explains why athletes must buy into the coaching process entirely and shares her tools for communication and program planning that empower the athlete to succeed. Whether you are a coach or athlete, this episode has so much information to guide, support, and enhance sports performance. The episode highlights the need to amplify the voices of women and coaches of color in the sports industry. We end with a remix to our rapid-fire game - the special Cara edition of “This That or The Other.”
