our vision
Mental Health is a top concern of young athletes and their families. We strive to further the discussion surrounding mental fitness in sports to create a better future for our youth.
our
mission
Community, identity, and purpose are three pillars needed for mental fitness to be present. We aim to further the discussion on how we can better incorporate these ideals into teams.
Our Story
With 40+ combined years working in team development, playing and coaching, our founders, Lee M.J. Elias and Andy Sutton, realized the conversation surrounding mental fitness in youth athletics was not only lacking, but stigmatized. In 2023 they founded AMFA and invited our first advisory board to discuss mental fitness ideals and to establish a framework to create a national set of mental fitness standards that can be used as a guideline by youth organizations around the United States.
