What we Do

Praxis offers a new way to view the questions and stressors of competition. Our programs and services are rooted in one basic question, what does the athlete need to experience their potential?

We provide multi-dimensional personal development training in team, individual and small group settings. All clients begin with the Know Yourself Foundation Course with the option to customize content for sport and team implementation.

What is praxis?

PRAXIS is a process and a community that transforms big ideas into high impact, sustainable action.  Inspired by training with Navy Seals, Olympic Champions, and Baptiste Yogis, 3x Olympian and University of Virginia Field Hockey Coach Rachel Dawson developed the Praxis Athlete Methodology in response to what was missing in team sports - an holistic focus on the person at the source of competitive team performance. 

what Does Praxis offer?

During our programs, athletes develop skills to optimize their response to uncertainty in order to create sustainable pathways to transformative growth on and beyond the playing field. Though self-assessment, personal philosophy building and intention-based personal development plans, Praxis provides a pathway for athletes and teams to create peak and complete competitive experiences.  Our programs are open to all ages, and all levels of competition because at Praxis we believe that every athlete is the entrepreneur, creator and innovator of their unique sport experience.

Take Action

Praxis develops competitors who own the moment, creators who master the experience, performers who deliver value, and leaders who act from deep awareness and with intentional responsibility. Praxis serves Athletes and Teams who want to know, grow, show, and go beyond.
