I am more than happy to recommend William McKinney for any wrestler who wants to improve his or her wrestling skills and have an edge
on any future opponents.

First, a little background on myself: I’ve been around great wrestling programs since 1967. My Illinois high school coach, Charles Farina,
was a national champ from Purdue and is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. I’ve coached in Iowa for 5 years, being involved on a
State Championship team there. I’ve worked with youth wrestling in Texas for 10 years, and as a Texas high school coach for another 10
years, (seven at Travis High School and three at Bowie H.S.). Both my sons have wrestled and have been All-State wrestlers in the state
of Texas. As one can see, I have been around the great sport of wrestling for quite a while.

I met William a few years ago. We had some spring/summer workouts for freestyle and Greco where William showed some technique,
positioning, and moves. He worked with my younger son, Greg, along with a few other wrestlers in the summer to prepare for national
competition. This summer, William, has worked with several of our high school wrestlers during open mat time at our school. I’ve been
very impressed with what he has shown the wrestlers. I consider myself to have a pretty good knowledge of wrestling skills and watching
William, I realize that there is always something to be learned. He has an incredible eye for detail regarding technique and what he shows
with positioning and angles are phenomenal. Although my son is a very good wrestler, there is still much he can learn to prepare for college
wrestling. William has worked with him some this summer and will continue to do so for another month. I trust William with my own son to
help him prepare for Division I college wrestling.

I fully believe that any dedicated wrestler who truly wants to improve and bring his or her wrestling skills to a more competitive level, will get
a lot from William. William and I have the same philosophy about wrestling or any sport for that matter: There is no substitute for hard
work and proper technique. One must have patience and be willing to put in the extra effort. Working with William will teach you this and
more.

Sincerely,

John Gogonas

"I'm more than pleased to recommend Will as a coach for wrestling. I've worked with Will since I was a sophomore at Cedar Park High
School. Before I met and trained with Will on the one-on-one basis, I was a varsity wrestler with a losing record and I didn't have the
success that I desired. After I placed 5th at districts my sophomore year, I met Will and he took me under his wing through the freestyle
and greco season in the summer and even helped me on my trip to Fargo, North Dakota for freestyle nationals. After working through the
summer with constant drilling, learning new technique, and becoming a mentally stronger wrestler. My junior year was a very exciting year
where after returning from all the camps and training year round with Will, I accomplished a jump that I have to credit to Will for getting me
there. I placed 1st at districts, 2nd at regions, and qualified for state. I was very happy about going to state my junior year and saw that
success that Will brought me and continued to work with him through my senior year with drilling, lifting, and wrestling in general that led
me to my greatest accomplishment my senior year. Becoming an All State wrestler, placing 6th in my weight out of the entire state of
Texas! I give much credit to Will McKinney and for anyone who decides to wrestle with him, you'll receive nothing but success from him."

Thank You Will,
