Mission: to develop, educate, and train youth athletes to embrace their full potential mentally and physically one meter at a time.

Philosophy
"One meter at a time"
We are here to provide a safe space for not only athletic development, but growth mindset development as well. Our athletes will learn how to change any negative self-talk into positive affirmations. We believe in trusting the process, and allowing every athlete to grow at their unique speed. While training with EFA, athletes will also learn how to encourage and support each other. Everything takes time and we are prepared to walk with our athletes before they learn how to run.
