ABOUT Stephanie douglas
Founder & CEO, Euro Pro Connect
FIBA Licensed • WNBPA Certified • Juris Doctor
Stephanie Douglas built Euro Pro Connect from firsthand experience as a collegiate athlete, professional player,
coach, entertainer, and agent.
Her career has taken her through NCAA Division I basketball, professional basketball overseas, the Harlem Globetrotters, athlete representation, and law school. Each stage shaped the way she now helps players navigate professional opportunities, contracts, presentation, and career strategy.
Finding Another Way
Stephanie’s path to professional basketball was not traditional. After a college career marked by transfers, limited playing time, and inconsistent film, securing representation
and professional opportunities was difficult.
Rather than give up, she attended a professional combine in Germany, secured an agent, expanded her network, and went on to play professionally in Germany and Spain.
That experience taught her how important preparation, presentation, networking, film, résumé quality, and persistence can be when the traditional path does not work.
Basketball Meets Entertainment
Stephanie’s career later expanded beyond traditional basketball when she joined the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters.
As a Globetrotter, basketball ability was only part of the job. Performance, personality, audience connection, image, entertainment, and marketability all mattered.
That experience reinforced a lesson Stephanie had already learned much earlier in life: athletes can create value beyond statistics and build opportunities through personality, presentation, and connection.
