ABOUT US - Who is Take Flight & What is Our Why
In essence, Take Flight is just that. It embodies the spirit of soaring, excelling, growing, and overcoming challenges. It's about finding better ways, exceeding expectations, and embracing continual improvement, all while stepping out of comfort zones and breaking through barriers. Take Flight is about Taking Flight.
Inspired by the transformative power of international athletics, Take Flight was founded on creating a platform and community where athletes not only compete, but also thrive in international athletics competitions. Despite the common misconception that overseas athletic endeavors are reserved for elite athletes, Europe; among other areas of the world, offer a rich array of competition options accessible to all. Through participation, athletes not only gain valuable athletic and travel experiences but also forge incredible memories and life lessons.
Our founder's personal journey epitomizes this ethos, driving Take Flight to empower fellow athletes to believe in their potential. Whilst this is an opportunity to excel athletic careers and open people’s eyes to what the international athletics scene has to offer, it is also so much more than that. By challenging them to step beyond their comfort zones, we believe that athletes not only enhance their skills but grow as individuals, ultimately becoming better athletes by becoming better people.

Our Mission
The Take Flight mission is to empower athletes to reach their full potential by providing access to diverse international athletics competitions and fostering personal growth through transformative travel experiences. We aim to break down barriers and create opportunities for athletes to excel both on and off the track.

Our Founder
Always up for a challenge, our founder, Briana Stephenson is a recently converted heptathlete who dove head first into the unknown world of European athletics. As a high school dual international and keen all-round sportsperson, the move to heptathlon has been the actualisation of her diverse sporting career to date. But more than this, Briana is especially passionate about the community. Being of Maaori descent and having come from rural Central Hawkes Bay, she hopes to show people of all ages and backgrounds, that there are endless possibilities if you set your mind to it.
Through the highs and lows, successes and failures of navigating life, Briana has discovered a deep passion for Athletics, health and travel. And so, Take Flight was born. Because you can too.
