“High school athletics are becoming more competitive than ever. With this change in competition, younger athletes who are involved in elite club or travel sports programs are looking to increase their athletic performance to prepare for high school. The Fairmont Athletic Academy is the solution.”
Director of Sports Science

Head of Strength + Conditioning
Josh Goedl
“This program is a game-changer. To have strength, speed, and agility training, alongside rehab and recovery using the technology and the tools we have blended with a high-level education is life-changing. This type of program can put you years ahead of others in your age group.”
Head of Wrestling Development
Mark Munoz
“My favorite thing about coaching wrestling is that there are so many life lessons to be taught as you build and train young athletes. When you are being held down by a circumstance or situation, you must find a way to rise above. You must embrace the struggle and difficult situations to test yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
Head of Soccer Development
Gustav Gratzer
“Our philosophy is that nothing comes without hard work. If you put in the time, then good things will happen. I want our student-athletes to play soccer the right way. Hard work, proper technical and tactical training are all important aspects of the game. Nothing comes for free. If you develop the players correctly, then winning comes naturally.”
Head of Basketball Development
Josh Markum
“I firmly believe that when you begin to invest and mold individuals at a young age, especially with one on one specific training, success and winning will come naturally. Teaching student-athletes that there is something greater than themselves and really helping them understand what it takes to be an all-around successful competitor is what FAA is all about.”
Athletic Trainer
Khrystianne Padua “KP”
“As an athletic trainer, I have the opportunity to be part of every athletic team’s highs and moments of growth. What I love most is helping an athlete overcome injury and watching them return to the field or court — doing what they love to do.”
