Wrestling Clinics

“Coach Waggoner adds a whole new dimension to athletic camps. At our All-American Sports Camps, Dr. Waggoner not only was able to work hands on with the athletes, but he was able to conduct a seminar with the parents of our campers. The parents of our sports campers walked away with as much, if not more information than the kids after their seminar with Dr. Waggoner. He provided an insightful lecture where he educated parents on college recruiting, scholarships, Title IX and a host of other information, as well as opening up the table for questions and answers for parents.”
