Today we’d like to introduce you to Dawn White
Hi Dawn, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started coaching in college and always had a desire to help others excel in their endeavors. After graduation, I began teaching at a local school and continued coaching. Toward the end of my teaching career, I fell in love with running and decided to start my own company, NEXT STEP Performance Training. I wanted to help others take that “Next Step” in their journey to get active. Fast forward to today-I not only offer group coaching for various race distances but I also provide personal coaching for those athletes wanting a more specific training plan. In addition to my coaching, I am a Race Director and Consultant for over 15 races per year. I am a long distance runner myself having completed 28 marathons to date and enjoy running as much now as when I first started some 17 years ago.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting your own business is scary in itself but if your passion is to help others get active, you are able to overcome those fears and put yourself out there. I struggled with doubts that anyone would listen to me but I decided to be who I was and the right people would come along. I’ve had training groups as large as 50 and up to 10-15 personal athletes at a time.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am the founder/owner of NEXT STEP Performance Training, LLC. I offer run coaching to groups and individuals. I am a Race Director and Consultant to groups looking to begin their own race.
I am proud of my attention to detail and the effort I put in to get to know each athlete I coach. Once you learn about each athlete, you will be able to help them succeed.
I feel the attention to detail and really getting to know each athlete sets me apart from other “cookie cutter” training plans you can find online. I view myself as your partner in training and am fully invested in your goals.
Any big plans?
I plan to continue coaching through NEXT STEP and offer help to organizations wanting to start their own race.
