Rubio: As my son nears his final decision as to which school he will attend after high school I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. Your snapping instruction is top notch! Your results speak for themselves! Because of your instruction/help my son completed two high school seasons without a single bad long/short snap while playing every down at center! I also want you to know that players can benefit greatly from attending your instructional camps, Vegas, and the various informational sessions you offer. It goes way beyond snapping...my son learned the importance of "the tennis match" that is college recruiting. I have enjoyed watching my son stand with poise and confidence while speaking to a wide range of college coaches. Also, I really focused on not getting in my sons way during this process. I really took it to heart that parents can really be a negative in this process and tried not to duplicate the many stories you shared where college coaches wanted to recruit players but didn't follow through because of annoying parents. I always stepped back and let my son take the lead...thanks to you."

"Chris, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for today. My son and husband aren't even home from camp yet, but they both already raved about the experience. My son is a huge fan of yours and learned a ton from the camp. Thank you so much for a great day!"

"We can thank you enough for all you've done to help him."

"Rubio, you are a class act. Watching you the last 4 years has reminded over and over again...you are THE BEST at what you do. Somebody could do a thesis on the journey a snapper and his parents take with you. You have been a huge part of our son's success on and off the field. This family is forever grateful!!!"

"Rubio, I would like to thank you for everything you have shown me. I can't thank you enough for the time and effort you put in your camps."

“You’ve poured so much into my son and we are very grateful. Been fun to watch and experience. Payoff time is now and we wouln’t be here without you!”

"I really appreciate all of your time and effort working with Turner. He has learned a ton from you and Neal Dahlman. We can't thank you enough. The experience was incredible."

"Thanks for all you do to promote the Deep Snapper"

"Your guidance and influence on my son has proved to be invaluable."

"Dear Rubio, A few weeks ago our son was fortunate enough to attend the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa, FL. He had a great first day on Thursday, and really enjoyed getting to see friends he has made from around the country over the past few years, not to mention the great instruction that we value so much. At about 6:00 am on Friday morning we started out on our drive over to the Underclassmen Invitational from our hotel for the start of the competition phase of the event. As we were driving my son said to me "You know what Dad . . . today is going to be a great day". To which I replied, "That's great Son, what makes you say that?". He replied "Well you know I have been working hard, and today I get the chance to compete with a bunch of great friends, all of us just trying to get better at what we do together." Normally his demeanor on such a ride would be more reserved, more introspective, almost worried. But this was different, this was new, he had a different perspective. And that is when it hit me, and I truly understood what was different. He was confident. I saw the value of great instruction and the satisfaction of having been prepared yielded CONFIDENCE. The ability to have confidence in one's self, and understand what it feels like to be confident (yet humble) is an amazing gift. Anything is possible when a young man whole heartedly believes in his ability to work hard and have success, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. The more I thought about it, I realized that whether he becomes a D1 Scholarship Long Snapper or whether he never plays a down of college football, he will always have the experience of competing at a very high level with Rubio Long Snapping. He will always have this journey to self-reference, to build on, and grow as a person, and THAT is what I am truly thankful for. Thanks for what you have done this far, and what I know you will continue to do in the years to come. We are proud to be part of the Rubio Family and Team Rubio. Respectfully, A Proud (and Thankful) Rubio Parent

"I would like to thank you for giving my son the confidence to follow his dream of becoming a college student athlete, my son only attended two of your camps but you and your staff had a huge impact on him and his confidence."

" Hi Rubio, I just want to officially thank you for the influence that you've had in my son's life. When he entered the world of long snapping, we had no idea how important the position was. We sent him to his first camp as a Sophomore and we were skeptical, to say the least. We saw a difference in him after attending 1 camp. He had a new found confidence and a desire to become better. He had found a group of kids that he could relate too. As parents, my husband and I were impressed with the way parents were included in the camps. We learned the importance of practicing at home and were given the tools necessary to assist him in his growth as a long snapper. We were determined to have him attend every camp to improve his ranking. The Vegas Camps were an experience that he'll never forget. He learned how to snap a ball under pressure and with every Vegas camp and local camp, we saw his ranking move up. It motivated him to keep training. Senior year he was worried when the offers didn't start rolling in but you always reassured him to "ride the wave" and keep building relationships with coaches. Earlier this year, that offer finally came and it was an offer he couldn't pass up. He was offered a full ride to a D2 University based on his film, his grades and the fact that he is a product of Rubio Long Snapping. As he prepares to leave California and head to Alabama, it is reassuring that he has a family of long snappers and trainers all over the country that he can reach out to. My family will always be grateful to you and your staff for helping him reach the next level."

"Appreciate your commitment to the kids and the integrity you display to both Rubio snappers and families."

"Hi Rubio, Just wanted to say what an awesome camp in GA yesterday! Competition was probably the best we have seen other than Vegas!"

"Thank you very much for the great camp. You have a tremendous staff that was very helpful in every aspect. I have been Coaching High School Football in Illinois for over 24 years and It is amazing how much I didn't know about long snapping. My son really enjoyed your camp and did not stop talking about the things he learned all the way back to Chicago."

"As a coach and parent, I would like to say what a great camp you provide for the young men!"

"Thanks for everything you do to give our youth the opportunities you offer."

"Hey Rubio, I just wanted to let you know I got my first offer from ___________ tonight! I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me and helped me with and I wouldn't be in the position I am without you!"

“Most wouldn’t notice the enhancements you’ve made over the years. Really awesome for the players and parents”

"Thank you for all the help at your camps. I feel that I have gained a lot of confidence in my long snapping."

"Chris, My son has been attending your camps for the last 3 years. He is now a freshman in high school. My son made the Varsity Football team as the long snapper. He beat out 8 other upper classmen who tried out. There is no way a Freshmen makes the Varsity football team unless he has attended Rubio Long Snapping camps! He has your Long Snapper full size target and stand in the yard and practices daily. My son said being in the games and every other Lineman is a senior is an amazing feeling and he is having the time of his life. My son is looking forward to future camps and his goals is to one day be invited to Top Gun in Vegas!"

"Truly his ability to be where he is now is a direct result of working with you and your staff Chris. Understanding the mechanics, drills and leadership you guys bring to the table has made him not only a better LS but a better teammate and most importantly young man!"

"Your high energy, positive attitude and motivation are contagious. We really appreciated you taking time to work one on one with the boys and parents."

"Rubio, Now that the summer camp blitz has ended, I thought I would drop you a short note to thank you for the fantastic experience at the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa. You and Sailor out did yourselves! What a great experience! While this was only my son's third camp with you, he has improved 10 fold under your guidance and tutelage. He gets really stoked when discussing his camp experiences and the work he knows he needs to put in to try to climb the Rubio ranking ladder. The life lessons he has gained from you is immeasurable and has changed him from a quiet shy kid to a confident young man. We can’t wait to see you again in Charlotte, NC in the fall and Vegas in January! Again, a big thank you for all you do for all the young long snappers and parents around the country."

"I also appreciate the encouragement of the parents to be on the field. We have been to other camps, but this was the first one that I was able to be close and take notes and pictures"

"This was a camp I recommend to every underclassmen and families. It truly allows you to understand the bond that is there. Great people."

"Dear Rubio, I had a great time at the regional camp in Georgia and I greatly appreciate the exposure you provide for snappers around the country."

"You have been a huge part of this journey as well. Words cannot fully articulate what your relationship with our son has meant. You've helped uncover something that has changed our son's life, and is helping him realize his dream. I just wanted to make sure I said thank you for everything."

"A Rubio camp is so much more than playing with a ball. It is about life changing experiences, camaraderie, positive motivation and learning to overcome obstacles. The money spent on this camp despite still being out of work, is the best money I have spent in a long time. Thank you"

"Amazing how the exposure through Rubio Long Snapping has made him a high profile recruit."

"Thanks again for the great camp and helping me improve not only as a player, but an overall man."

"Hey Rubio, just wanted to let you know last night I officially singed to be apart of the _________ football team for the spring semester. None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you to Rubio Long Snapping for another amazing camp experience. The relationship that Chris Rubio develops with each player, while he is teaching them valuable skills is second to none. He makes learning such a fun experience that they seem to forget how hard they are working. My son enjoys every minute of the camp and can not wait for the next one! We always walk away learning something new!"

"Once again, we are very grateful for you, Rubio. Our family will never forget your investment in him as a person as well as a long snapper. You will always hold a special place in our hearts and be a part of our family."

"Dear Chris - We have never met, but you have indeed had a positive impact on our son, and therefore on our entire family. As our son's long snapping developed, we had many discussions in our home as to the right path for him. It became a matter of logistics as his school has Saturday classes and athletic teams, namely football and indoor and outdoor track, compete on Saturdays. It was frustrating for him to not be able to participate and compete in the vibrant Rubio community. This is where your messages on social media became so powerful. You inspired our son and kept him motivated with the constant positive posts. Being a long snapper can be lonely place especially in the off season. So many times our son would call me and say "Mom, did you see Rubio's post today? It is like he is speaking directly to me. He knows exactly what I am thinking and feeling" So, although we are not officially a Rubio snapper, you definitely had a hand in molding our son as a snapper and a hand in keeping him moving forward. Our family thanks you for that! Many thanks for giving so much to the Long Snapping world, and for inspiring one who you do not even know."

"This is not your typical thank you letter about Rubio Long Snapping. A typical Thank You would be about how your camp made my son a better long snapper and taught him how to compete, to be the best he could be at his position so that he could play on his high school team and then play in college. Well, for our first son that was true. He made his high school team and ended up with 2 State Championship rings and he made it on a a D1 team and ended up with a National Championship Ring. This is a letter about his younger brother who thought he wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps. He went to a couple of Rubio camps and did well. When he made it onto his High School team he did not want to be a Long Snapper, he wanted to be the center and let someone else long snap. He helped coach the snapper and was happy to play his position. What he recently told me as he heads off to college was how much he learned at the Rubio Camps. Practice, dedication to your position, passion for what you do, and most important choosing a college not for football, but for what you want to do for your life. He turned down a few offers for college because they did not offer the major he wanted to pursue. He will be a regular student this fall. He will not be playing football but instead working to do what he wants to do for a career. The lessons taught and the examples demonstrated are not always just about the being a long snapper. They are life lessons on being the best at what you do and being a good student, and most importantly a young gentleman. Thank You RUBIO you have helped 2 of my sons to excel not matter what they decide to pursue."

"The reason I am sharing this with you is because none of this would be as possible without YOU! I appreciate you helping to get my son to one of the finest universities in the country. More important, I respect you so much for instilling confidence in these young men. The confidence that allows for them to go through all this crazy stuff and know that they CAN do it!"

"Just wanted to send out a huge thank you for a great experience this year for our son beginning a career he loves and enjoys. We couldn't ask for a better group and we feel part of the Rubio family. My husband and my son had a great time in Tampa and the amount of learning and bonding he had through the year has been wonderful. Looking forward to many more camps in the future and he is enjoying the sessions with Finch through FaceTime. The teaching and practicing opportunities are endless. Hope to see you in Idaho this coming winter or spring."

"We are so thankful for all the knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm that you have instilled in our son over the years. He absolutely loves you as a coach and as a person."

"RUBIO, Thanks for working your magic. Don't know what you did or said but it worked. Last few games he was on fire and most importantly really relaxed and happy!"

"Thank you for your support of our son (and the rest of these boys). In addition to Long Snapping skills, you have taught them many other life lessons"

"Rubio, you have created a class act organization"

“Great to see you today Rubio. Your camps are better than Disneyland. ‘RUBIO Camps’ the happiest place on Earth! You encouraging the kids when they make mistakes puts things into perspective as a parent and shows me that attitude from a parent goes a long way to help correct. Also, the encouragement you give to my son helps his confidence all around. I am enjoying this ride and want to thank you again!”

"your posts on instagram and your camps have helped me to grow as a longsnapper and a person"

“My whole family loves the videos you have been posting. Please keep up the good work”

"My son watches all your videos and stories. Even though we have never been able to go to one of your camps. You inspire him everyday"

"Keep up the great work that you do with these boys. Proud to be part of the Rubio family."

"Hey Chris, I just wanted to thank you for everything. I went to one of your camps and with that one camp, it led me to ________ University on scholarship. Coach _______ told me that you sent him a list with my name on it and that is how he found my hudl and contacted me. I thank you for all your help and doing this. You have really changed my life."

"Wanted to send you a quick email and let you know how much my son and I enjoyed the Dallas camp. My son learned a lot and took away good practice skills. I liked that I became a participant and was able to get on the field to learn and interact with my son."

"Rubio, thank you again for everything you do for the kids . Long snapping, and your camps have made such a difference in my son's life . It's given him motivation, and confidence. Its been a blessing . Your whole program has made him focus on education, fitness ,attitude and reaching for his goals. The motivation quotes and postcard also make a difference.Your program is more than just long snapping"
