Unlocking winners
On sports fields and in business
Strong mindsets break through

Greetings! I'm Kevin Doohan and Doohan Group is the vehicle for what I actually spend my time on: giving back through youth sports. -Kevin

Lacrosse

Lacrosse is where I spend most of my time. I'm the volunteer president, at nonprofit United Lacrosse, leading the organization and coaching local youth recreational teams. I'm head coach for the boys lax teams at Oak Park High School, and I'm founder and head coach of Gold Coast Raptors for offseason play. I'm USA Lacrosse gold certified coaching boys lax, silver certified for the girls game, and a Brian Cain certified mental performance coach. I study coaching constantly — mindset especially. Mindset and sport IQ are what fuel wins when everyone is skilled and able.

Equestrian

My wife, Jennifer, competed as a girl, and our daughter, Kate, competes today as an equestrian athlete. That's how I found my way into the sport. 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 leaders can to thrive in 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 freeze even the best performers in their tracks. You can't practice for the merger after its announced. I help executives design and install practice systems that close the practice gap, the same way I install systems on lacrosse fields every week.
