From World Series Coach to Inner Game Mentor | Douglas White

What happens when a World Series–winning coach trades the mound for the mind and emotions?

In this episode of Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with Douglas White, former pitching coach and director of pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, and assistant pitching coach for the Houston Astros. Over his 17-year career across four MLB organizations, Doug guided pitching development, led infrastructure change, and helped teams win four championships in six years — including two World Series titles.

Now, Doug has taken his expertise from the field into the world of personal development and emotional well-being. His mission? Helping people harness the power of their emotions to deliberately create their lives.

We explore:

⚾ Doug’s transition from professional baseball to coaching life’s inner game

⚾ The leadership lessons he learned under pressure with the Astros and Angels

⚾ How emotions became his secret coaching edge — and how he teaches others to use them today

⚾ The highs, lows, and pivotal moments that shaped his journey

⚾ His perspective on what it means to lead and thrive through life’s transitions

 

✨ Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, leading under pressure, or learning to trust your own inner guidance, Doug’s story proves that the game isn’t just physical — it’s deeply emotional.
