"As a parent, I really appreciate your positive energy and your motivation that you give to the young men that you teach. Your daily motivational quotes are ones that I copy and send to my three boys on a frequent basis or save for when I need them. They always seem to be fitting for what happens to be going on in life."

"Coach I wanted to let you know how much my son enjoyed your camp. I was so surprised how interactive it was with the parents. I was a specialist in college. We can't wait to get to another camp and we're looking at the Charlotte one if summer football allows. What he enjoyed the most was being around the older kids and them taking him under the wing. Little and McLaughlin from North Carolina both made it a point to come up to him and talk to him. What great role models. Thank you again for the experience and we can't wait for the next camp."

"Dear Rubio, Not Coach or Chris (paid attention) I always looked forward to listening to your instruction, your humor and seeing your passion displayed and shared. My son, his father and I appreciate everything that you have done for us these past four and a half years. Florida, Chicago and Las Vegas were each special. My son has signed with _________ College to be their long snapper. I wanted you to know that your lessons, words of wisdom and knowledge has made a huge impact on all of us and I wanted to thank you for that. I also personally look forward to your daily quotes. Thank you and God Bless you and your family."

Without your evaluations I am doubtful that I would have received these offers. I have committed to _________ as I felt it was the best fit for me academically, socially, and athletically. What a great experience this has been."

"Dear Rubio, I recently watched your documentary, and I wanted to take time to add to what some of the parents shared about you. I am a teacher, and as you know, teachers are observers. I have watched children interact, parents interact with their own children, and other teachers interact with students, for more than 20 years. It is with these teacher eyes that I watch, and have made decisions over the years about who my children have continued to work with in their sports ventures. I hope that parents appreciate all the things that are truly going on at your camps beyond just the long snapping. I see you "read" the long snappers, and it is here that my "teacher eyes" see what sets your camps apart. It is not just their long snapping that you are watching. It is their stress level, the overall vibe of the group, and so much more. I have seen you make adjustments in an instant at several camps, and watched you ensure that your staff does the same. You know just when to adjust the work, and when to call the parents to speak with them. Someone who knows students knows there are many reasons why this is happening, and it is appreciated. You know what your long snappers can do, and you ensure they end on a positive note, even if it was just an off day for them. You read the parents, you see how they interact with their children, both at the regional camps, and at the larger events like Vegas. (I know parents are often the hardest part.) Your words of wisdom shared with the parents, for the benefit of the players, are superb. Likewise, is the interaction of your staff with parents. Our family is glad to have become a part of the Rubio Family. Have a wonderful spring camp season!"

"This was my first (hopefully of many) experiences with the Rubio Long Snapping team. I can't begin to tell you how much I (and my nephew) enjoyed this. Your instructors were absolutely phenomenal! I'll never forget Varnell's "WOOOOOOO", you and Arroyo's 15 minute bro hug, or Johnny from UCLA putting his lunch on the ground and putting off his well deserved break to help a father and son that were practicing their long snapping. You run a tight ship which is much appreciated, and I just can't tell you how much I appreciate the positive energy from the Rubio team! Great job and huge love and respect, looking forward to Dallas and Vegas!"

He was intimidated at first, but that quickly wore off once the camp started. We were so impressed with how nice and helpful the "veteran parents" were to us as well as the "veteran campers" were to my son. The camp was so informative and my son learned so much. His snapping has already started to improve. We definitely will be attending the camp in GA on July 1st. Thank you again for an awesome day."

"Rubio, We wanted to let you know how impressively Casey Hales singlehandedly ran the Arizona camp today. His time and attention with each snapper, along with such a great positive uplifting attitude all day long was enjoyable to watch. Every kid improved from the morning to the afternoon as a result of his time and detailed attention to every kid. It’s hard to believe that one person could do what he did. Thanks for all you and your staff do for these boys."

"there are no adequate words to express the family JOY in how we feel about my son committing to _________. So I won’t try to describe the feelings…but I want you to know that a simple “thank you” is far inadequate to express our appreciation for all that you and your program have done in my son's journey. Thank you for being a long snapping savant. Thank you for being a teacher, a mentor, an encourager. Thank you for instilling a sense of pride into the young men…to be proud of their craft and the importance that the rest of the sporting world rarely appreciates. Thank you for creating competition and pressure…invaluable. Thank you for that smile that always lights up the room. Thank you for being you. Long ride since that lanky guy strolled into a Rubio Camp in 2012. Every step of the way has been worth it. Some of those steps more trying and painful than the rest…but one thing that my son never wavered from was belief that EVERYTHING happens for a reason…and something great would come from all the hard work, dedication and perseverance. That day is here! See you soon. And did I mention…THANK YOU?!?"

"Throughout my career I have attended and hosted many large athletic events. I want to say I have never attended an event as well organized as your Long Snapping camp. You really have that thing dialed in. To keep over 300 young people engaged and on task is no easy feat. The college players you have working are outstanding role models for the kids attending your camp. I was also very impressed that the very talented individuals and those who possess very little talent got equal attention and encouragement from your staff. That does not always happen at these types of events. But, it's obvious you stress the importance this camp holds for every individual. Normally we only get emails when something goes wrong or when a parent is unhappy. I just wanted to drop you a note and say how much I admire and appreciate what you are doing for these young people. We need more individuals like you involved in the lives of these student athletes." Thanks for the excellent work you do.

For what it’s worth I was very impressed by the way you and your staff communicated with the kids. Being a coach myself, too often I see the other end of the spectrum with coaches. You all were certainly a breathe of fresh air and I appreciate that as a coach and parent. Absolutely incredible what you have been able to do for the longsnapping position. I would have never dreamed that the art of longsnapping could have been taken to this level of exposure...very impressive."

" I want to tell you what being part of the Rubio Family means to our family. I decided to bring my son son to a camp in 8th grade after he decided that he wanted to attend high school at football powerhouse. My goal for him was to get him a spot on the bus. At his first camp he was the only 8th grader, I remember him standing next to all the senior and JC players. I really thought I may have brought him too early. As the camp concluded, there was a competition. He competed against a JC player who had a hair bun and facial hair. That JC player went out of his way and encouraged my son. My son looked at him with great admiration, not only because of his snapping but because of his humility. My son left that camp and went home and practiced, even though he wasn't playing football. A few month later we went to another camp, ironically, he was paired up and competed against the same JC player. This player remembered my son and again he was very gracious. On the surface he didn't do much, just provided encouragement. The reality is it meant a lot to me and it left a lasting impression to him. That JC player was Wes Bertoni. At the time, I was debating the value of your camps. I know it's something you hear often, especially from parents of young long snappers. I'll tell you what sold me. First, it has very little to do with Long Snapping. You preached of good grades, good social media, being a good person, addressing coaches in a proper manner and working smarter not harder. But seeing how the other kid treat each other and seeing my son’s confidence grow I was hooked. It was not until my my sons’ 10th grade year that we started going to Jason Bertoni. I cannot even begin to write about Bertoni, without getting emotional. He has done so much for my son and his snapping. The reality is Bertoni often acts more as a sport psychologist than a snapping coach. He is the most sincere coach I have ever met. Without a doubt, my son would not be in the position he is in without Jason and Wes Bertoni. As my sons’ high school journey comes to an end, it is amazing to reflect back on everything you have taught US. I am currently in the position of remembering to breathe. More importantly, my son has learned life skills by coming to Rubio Long Snapping and going through this process. Work smarter not harder, being consistent and steadfast not only in snapping, but also in his work ethic. Give a firm hand shake, look the person in the eye and introduce yourself with confidence. Market yourself appropriately, you are not only a reflection of yourself, but also your team. You will compete and be ranked against your peers, if you don’t like your ranking keep working. Ironically that is how the promotion process at my work is conducted. You will face rejection, move on. My son has sent hundreds of emails and received just as many rejections. I have also seen him bulldog his way past offensive lineman and quarterbacks to get face time in front of a college coach. I often tell my son if he takes the lessons he has learned from long snapping and he applies them to his career he will be miles ahead of his peers. However, my proudest moment came this weekend in Arizona when a young long snapper looked up at him with same star-struck eyes that gave Wes. My son recognized that the young man looked up to him and took him under his wing and provide him encouragement. Rubio, my son’s journey is not done with you, however I want to sincerely thank you. Thank You for being a part of my son’s life and helping him grow into a young man. Whether you know it or not, by teaching him to long snap and recruit himself you reinforced life lessons that he will take with him outside of football. Quite frankly if all you taught was snapping, I may not have sent my son to so many of your camps. I am not trying to devalue your long snapping instruction, but I feel the true value of Rubio Long Snapping is in the life lessons that you teach. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the Rubio Family."

"Rubio, Thank you for more than you’ll ever know: i.e…. For providing great instruction, motivation, leading to success and confidence. Providing a positive environment with integrity giving each individual the ability to grow and improve… with the bonus of making great friendships along the way. Friendships not just for the long snapper, but for the parents too!Having other parents to talk to, ask questions and share experiences with, has been a tremendous help. The contacts you have with colleges, coaches, the exposure your website, and social media provide are second to none. These words don’t seem to do justice to the amount of gratitude that this parent feels for your part in making their son’s dreams a reality."

"Rubio, As my son leaves college football behind, he is not headed to the NFL, but he IS headed to Harvard Law School. The connection to long snapping may not be obvious to those who have not spent many hours sitting at your camps, but I think I owe you a thank you. Thank you for drilling into your students the need for character, responsibility, and hard work. Thank you for always being honest with them about their strengths and weaknesses and for not handing out participation trophies. Most importantly, thank you for your constant refrain to be extremely thoughtful about their social media presence. That lesson alone might be worth the cost of the camps."

Even more impressive would be the number of kids whose grades have improved or number of kids whose communication skills with adults improved or number of kids who have more self confidence because of words you have spoken at camps. You are a factory that improves outcomes for life."
