EMOTIONAL AWARENESS COACHING FOR ATHLETES AND PROFESSIONALS

You’ve trained every part of your game except what guides it all: how you feel.

You’ve trained, performed, pushed yourself to the edge.

And still, something feels off. Maybe it’s burnout, inconsistency, or just a quiet sense that there’s more in you.

Douglas White has coached elite athletes and professionals for nearly two decades. His one-on-one coaching will help you understand and work with your emotions so you can show up fully on the field, at work, and in life.

HI, I’M DOUGLAS WHITE

An emotional awareness coach with almost 20 years of experience as a minor and major league pitching coach.

I’ve spent my career coaching athletes under pressure, helping them navigate the mental and emotional challenges that come with chasing greatness. Over time, I realized: performance isn’t just about skill or strategy. It’s also rooted in emotional awareness and self-understanding.

Today, I work with athletes, leaders, high performers, and professionals to cultivate their emotional awareness, so they can navigate the challenges of high performance cultures with clarity and consistency—bridging the gap to the next level when old habits just aren’t enough.
