"I wish everyone was like you Rubio. You are a straight shooter"

"Thanks for an awesome weekend. can't wait until May"

"Rubio, just wanted to say thank you again for helping my son get to the next level.  Your camp has been a big part of all of our lives for the last 4 years"

"Thanks again for all of your help. By far the best LS Camp I've ever been a part of"

"_______ (D1 college) came to my school today to see me. He said he looked at my profile page and said that was enough for him"

"Thank you for an amazing experience!! He had the time of his life! Camp was so much fun and so well organized. Thanks for all you have taught him in such a short amount of time!!! From the first minute he met you, he was fired up. You changed him. You are so good for him!!! The coach specifically said he spoke to only you about my son and since you recommended him it was all he needed to hear."

"Thanks to Chris Rubio, the long snapping instructor for Rubio Long Snapping and Chris Sailer Kicking, I am what I am now."

"Thank you Chris, you have been such a HUGE part of my son''s career."

"I enjoyed reading your blog. I was a long snapper in high school. I am glad you are doing what you are doing to inspire these kids. If I had a role model like you when I was a kid I may have prepared for college and tried to hook on as a snapper somewhere. Keep up the good work."

"We feel that attending your camps has prepared my son for the next level."

"Excellent post!  Love the way you broke each element down"

"Chris...We are so thankful we were told about your organization last November. Ten months ago my son was a skinny 9th grader who had never long snapped in his life. Fast forward to today and he has beat out two upper clansmen to earn the Varsity starting job as a sophomore. I am not sure what he is studying more, his school work or long snapping videos, but the good news is he is doing outstanding at both. Thanks for all you do and for making a difference."

"Thank you so very much for my son''s success in the NFL. He never would have gotten this far without your training and encouragement, especially during his formative years. It is a success as much for you and your program as it is for him. Thanks again for your continued support of him in his endeavors."

"Thanks so much for everything you have done for my son"

"I did not get a chance to talked with you this weekend but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all you have done for my boys the past 6 years I know my son would not have went to college with out your help and on to the NFL and with my other son you have been great with him and I really appreciate everything"

"I know my wife has told you this, but I wanted to reiterate it and thank you for your coaching of my son.  His high school experience was so miserable, they nearly sucked all his passion for the game out of him and certainly didn't encourage him to improve or pay any attention to Special Teams in general.  Seeing him the past month at your lesson and camps, I finally saw his interest return and enjoy being around the football field and smiling on the filed again.You''ll probably remember that I was very skeptical in the beginning of guys being able to play D1 ball and get scholarships with your program, but we've literally seen your business explode since we came into it and boy was I wrong!"

"Hey Rubio, Another GREAT Vegas! They just keep getting better....thanks for everything"

"I wanted to tell you GREAT CAMP! My son and I really enjoyed the experience. I have seen a new fire in my son about his snapping since we've been home. You will see us at more camps to come.  Thank you to you and your staff!"

"Rubio is widely considered the leading long-snapping instructor in America"

"Just wanted to let you know my son received a scholarship and signed yesterday. He will be the starting Long Snapper for the 2011 season.
Thank You !!! For all of your instruction we would not have considered attempting to long snap at the collegiate level without your program !!!"

"Hello Rubio, Just thought I would drop you a line and tell you my son signed today as a long snapper. I know he didn't have much time to work with you but the time that he received instruction from you was very valuable. Thank you for everything you have done for my son and everything you do for long snappers."

"Rubio, Thanks for everything you do! As I've stated before, you make my life much easier based on your evals and video. Stay in touch"

"Full scholarship for my son as a long snapper. Two years at your camps made the difference."

"Hey Mr. Rubio, I've never been to a long snapping camp or competitions or anything, but I would like to thank you for all of the long snapping advice you have put on facebook in the past. I live in North Carolina and played organized football for the first time this past season for my senior year on my high school team. I was trying to figure out what positon to play and decided I wanted to be a long snapper after I watched some college football on television. So I went outside and started snapping at a pine tree in my yard. After a lot of practice I won over my high school team''s starting position at Long Snapper. After a successful season, I was recruited by ________. I signed my letter of intent as a preferred walk-on.. It''s a dream come true after just one year of organized football. So thank you for all of the tips and advice that helped me along the way." Long Snapper (someone who I have never actually even met!!!)

"Thank you so much for all the direction, coaching and advise you have provided my son over the years"

"Thanks again for your leadership and the guidance that you provide to the long snapping family of snappers"

"Rubio, Thanks for everything, over the weekend. Getting involved with you has been the best thing my son has ever done.   You have created such a positive environment for our kids. Long Snapping requires dedication away from your camps.  The kids have to work at it all year round.  Your attitude stays with the kids.  You provided the incentive and commitment that keeps our kids working."

"Rubio-I wanted to thank you for the event in Vegas. I could see how much work you and your entire staff put into that event and I am sure you are wiped out and hopefully will get some rest. My son and I had a great time while we were there.  We appreciated the instruction that you and your staff provided and being able to see all the different snappers at one camp is a vital part of the learning process as well. Thanks again!"

"Rubio another great camp, didn't expect anything less than perfect from you and your staff, on time, great instructions/instructors  awesome fields, awesome weather, of course you had nothing to do with the weather LOL - what a great bunch of kids you had, my son has created some lifelong friends. Who knows he may play against some of these guys in the future you never know.
You have done so much for my son I can't thank you enough"

"I wanted to take the opportunity to say, THANK YOU !  You put on one of the most Professional and well run camps I have been to in the last several years.  Frankly you inspire me and I'm sure I speak for my son as well."

"Your influence has changed my son''s life"

"Thanks for me teaching so much over the past few years"

"As my son signs his National Letter of Intent and Full-Ride Scholarship Agreement today to attend and play football for a D-1 BCS Conference school, I am reflecting back on that chance meeting we had when my son was a 5'3", 115 lbs 8th grade boy practicing his snapping for his Pop Warner football team on a random Sunday afternoon. From that point forward until today and beyond, through your training, motivation and personal attention to him you have been and continue to be instrumental in training and perfecting his long snapping skills. Beyond that, through your long snapping teachings you have taught my son valuable lessons that he will carry with him and that he will be able to draw upon for the rest of his life in whatever he does. Lessons like the importance of quality practice over quantity repetition. Working hard and being diligent, yet having fun while you are doing it. Seeing the big picture while practicing and perfecting specific detailed drills. The importance of being positive, encouraging, enthusiastic, passionate and having fun in what you do in order to get better and become the best. The confidence in knowing that you will perform at the highest level when you have prepared yourself through hard work and quality repetition. The importance of being confident that you will do your job, yet be humble in your achievement. All of these attributes and more you continue to teach my son. You are truly his mentor and you have become my dear friend. My family is grateful and blessed for all that you have done and continue to do for my son."

"Chris, I've spent my entire adult life in the sports business, as a D1 baseball coach; Asst Olympic baseball coach (Italy); & MLB Player Agent; I currently represent NBA coaches & MLB managers & coaches; So I think I know and understand what a quality, effective coach is when I see or meet one. You and Chris Sailer both have an amazing gift as contemporary coaches who definitely connect with young athletes. I have spoken with many of the other people across the nation who teach/coach LS & kickers, either @ clinics, lessons, in person, or by telephone.  Most of them are amateurs when compared to you. My son and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as a Long Snapping coach and mentor for the past 5 years.  You are in the top 1% of coaches I have ever met, played for, represented professionally, or have known during my lifetime "

"Well,  soon our youngest son will be off to college. You have coached both of our sons not only with their snapping skills but also with the life skills needed to continue playing at the college level.  You have been a significant part of our family for over a decade and will be for many more!  THANK YOU, for being a part of the village that helped raise our boys!
It's a good thing we don't have a girl... if we did, she would be a Rubio Long Snapper too!!!"

"Your camps pay off and really work - so glad we found you"

"Rubio, this is ____''s dad, I don''t comment much on things but your latest Blog should be read by ever senior even if they are not going to college so much wisdom in it"

"My son is looking forward to Fall Camp!  Your fun-loving personality and coaching style really made an impact on him this summer. He mentioned just the other day that he "needed Rubio right now!" You have a special way with these young men!"

"Rubio, Great Event this weekend, i was amazed at the talent. Now i see the things we have to do to get to the top.  Lots of hard work. Thanks, for what you do, it's completely awesome.  In my 18 years of coaching football you rarely find a person who is tuned in to all his players, no matter age, size or where he comes from."

"Rubio, I did not get the chance to say hello or goodbye but I did want to send you another note of thanks.  My son had an awesome experience and continues to grow and learn as a long snapper.  I was very impressed, but not surprised, at how well run the camp was.  We will definitely see you in May, actually twice, in GA and again in Vegas!"

"I cannot say enough good things about your camp this weekend. I don''t know you did it, but you did. I was really impressed. It was worth every penny. We will definitely be back."

"On behalf of my son, my wife and I thank you again for another exceptional National Long Snapping Event in Las Vegas.  The camp was very well organized, the student-instructors did a great job with the boys, and the competition was excellent."

"thanks for the well run event. My son enjoyed his first competition. It was a great learning experience"

"Thank you Rubio for all the coaching and promoting"

"You are a good and honest man and there are few like you"

"Hey Rubio, I never got to say thank you for all you have done for my boys. Without you we would not be in this position. It''s absolutely amazing that I have not 1, but 2 kids that are going to play for a major D1 school on a full ride. I would of never thought that was possible."

"Rubio, could not be more happier with my son''s desire to keep learning from you! Thank you!!"

"That was an GREAT Blog, I love it. Keep them coming."

"Wanted to thank you for being a part of my son my son''s development. And, probably in a way that doesn't pop into your head immediately because he hasn't been to a camp since 5/11. That is for a specific reason ... at that camp you challenged him to make a commitment ... a commitment to being the best at what he wanted in life. Of course, in your broad message, there was an emphasis on being a long snapper. From that day, he decided to commit his full energies to being the best in the class room and on the OL. He has worked very hard ever since. Thank you"

"Thanks for everything you've done Rubio. I wouldn't be where I am without you"
