Unlocking winners
On sports fields and in business
Strong mindsets break through
Welcome! I'm Kevin Doohan and Doohan Group is the vehicle for what I spend my time on these days. Read on and hit me up if I can be helpful. 🙏🏻
Lacrosse
Lacrosse is where I spend most of my time.
Volunteer president, at nonprofit United Lacrosse, executive and coaching leader for several elementary and middle school, boys and girls, recreational lacrosse teams.
Head coach, boys lacrosse at Oak Park High School
Founder and head coach of Gold Coast Raptors for offseason training and competition
I'm a USA Lacrosse gold certified boys lacrosse coach, silver certified for the girls game, and a Brian Cain certified mental performance coach. I'm a student of coaching, especially mindset, which is more important than any sport-specific skills I teach.
Equestrian
My daughter, Kate, competes as an equestrian athlete. I've grown to love the sport while supporting her efforts. I built Kate's website at KateEQ.com and I'm currently advising the Interscholastic Equestrian League, and other equestrian organizations, to modernize their digital marketing and operations.I'm also building a mental performance curriculum for equestrian athletes. It's still early, but I'm bringing the same approach to mindset in equestrian sport that's worked for my lacrosse athletes.
Business Coaching
Thirty-plus years guiding teams through constant change at major brands taught me how to successfully lead teams though chaos. But when I moved into coaching sports, I realized something: business is the only elite arena where people perform every day and practice never. Athletes spend 90% of their time practicing, 10% performing. Executives spend 100% performing, 0% practicing. No reps, no film review, no mental training.I call it the Practice Gap, and it's why teams freeze the moment real pressure hits. A merger, a reorg, a market shock... each can stop even the best performers in their tracks. You can't practice skills needed during a merger after its announced. I help professionals design and install practice systems, the same way I install systems on lacrosse fields every week.
