Testimonials

"Coach I wanted to personally thank you for your program and for all of the work that you put in to the long snappers around the US. 14 months ago, our son had his first official training event and it was with the Rubio program. I look back on the videos from that first training event in Dallas and it is very clear to me that the Rubio program works. From the warm ups, at home drills and specific snapping techniques, everything is a tool for improvement. Our goal was for our son to be able to play on varsity as a junior and attending that first camp was meant to be an opportunity to improve and give our son a better chance of achieving that goal. That camp not only gave him the tools to succeed, but it also gave him confidence in the technique and in the position. Your approach is very thoughtful and incredibly effective. My son is blessed that you took the risk to create the Rubio Factory and we are very appreciative and grateful for everything you do and how hard you work for your long snappers. We look forward to seeing you at the Rubio Dallas event in April. Thank you again for everything you do!"

My son learned a ton, had a blast and made a bunch of new friends.the professionalism and organization of your camps is unlike any camp my kids have ever been associated with. Loved the music as well. Watching the kids and instructors jam to tunes showed the spirit of what the boys and your camps are all about. Amazing experience that I’m glad we all were a part of."

He has gained skills, confidence, meeting other players, experiencing the pressure, info on recruiting…etc. The funny and laid back way you run your camps makes the boys want to learn and work hard. What you do for the players and for Long Snapping in general is much appreciated and you are a great role model!"

"Hi Rubio, First of all, you and Samantha run a great camp! Secondly, thank you. Thank you for this opportunity for these guys to get together. Look at this picture. A thousand words can’t explain how I feel right now. Two years ago my son would not speak to anyone out of shyness and low self esteem. Last year he started coming out of his shell because of your instructors. They gave him encouragement that he could be good at snapping, but the most important thing was they just showed interest in him. During the last two Vegas events he finally started talking to other kids. And then last night happened....He and one kid decided to get a burger together.  Then two kids became four, then ten! They all went to the movie together, got ice cream and hung out until we parents had to make them go to bed. They call themselves the “Sauna Club” because they all hit the hotel sauna together. It’s not about rankings for me. It’s about this. Camaraderie, relationships and friends for life. Thanks again for putting this event together!"

"Rubio - Just wanted to thank you for being you!! The coach, the mentor, the motivator and the man that you are. All that you do via social media, recruiting and the camps is TRULY appreciated. We’ve been discussing daily about him starting to “get it” and really apply himself to his studies and his long snapping. Seeing your daily motivational meme today really hit home. As parents we can talk and talk, but when our kids hear our message from an independent source.... they start to see the light and start to “get it”. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you!! We are proud to be part of the Rubio family."

"Hey Rubio! I wanted to thank you for all of the camps I’ve gone to. I’m very thankful for how much you’ve helped me, snapping and recruiting wise. I wouldn’t be where I am without you and I’m very thankful for that! I always recommend other snappers to go to your camps because of how great of a coach you are. I’ve always loved how fun and competitive your camps are, and that’s what always pushed me. I’ve met many amazing friends along the way and I wouldn’t trade any of my experiences at your camps for anything. You’re the number one snapping coach in my eyes."

"Rubio, Just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thank you. Our son, had never attended any camps before and had started to try and learn long-snapping on his own. (With some help from his parents, mostly his Mom.) We came across you on social media and decided to sign him up for the Vegas camp. (We had no idea that was kind of a showcase event, but Vegas in January coming from Colorado sounded nice.) As we drove in on the morning of day one, he and I knew that maybe we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. As we warmed up, it was apparent that he had a long way to go to be in the same league as the other athletes that were there. As a parent, I was concerned, wondering how much time and attention he would get from the coaches. Happy to say we were thrilled. You and your staff were great. They treated him well and man did he improve. Competition day was a great experience. He struggled at times, as you might expect. I highly doubt any college scouts will be looking at him based on his performance, but he got much better and more importantly, he’s excited about it and wants to come back next year and attend some of your other camps in the meantime. Point is, I know a lot of people come to you with hopes of getting exposure to colleges and instruction for their athletes. We came with a different goal, we simply wanted him to learn how to long-snap from the best. It would have been easy for your staff or you to overlook our son at an event like that, filled with the top HS long-snappers across the country. I walked away impressed and grateful, because he gained a lot of skill and a lot of confidence from being there. Thank you. We’ll see you again soon."

"It’s official. Thanks for helping my son reach his potential. It’s and rare honor to be able to play Division 1 football. But through long-snapping, my son will be playing D1 football at one of the best schools in the world. Neither of those things would have been possible without the development of his long-snapping skills and the national evaluation that you do to help college coaches find talent."

I wanted to thank you for all of your guidance, teaching, and wisdom. You played a role in helping me live my dream of playing college football. I felt confident and prepared to snap in college, which translated to a successful four seasons."

"Dear Rubio, As a parent, watching my son sign his NLI yesterday, I couldn't help but think of how much a part you played in this process. What started three years ago as a trip to a camp to learn a little about long snapping has definitely turned out to be so much more. The atmosphere and instruction that you and your staff provided at the camps was fantastic but most important was the mental strength and confidence my son gained through these events. I can still remember how nervous he was the night before his first varsity game, after discussing his experiences with pressure situations at your camps he ultimately went out and snapped with confidence the entire game and continued this throughout his high school career. Now as he has committed to a partial scholarship to continue his academic and athletic career I'm grateful for the guidance you have provided on staying patient with the recruiting process, which can be very frustrating at times. The information provided to the parents in regards to contacting schools, creating highlight video, attending college camps, etc. was invaluable and there is no doubt in my mind we would not have gotten to this point without it. For that I want to Thank You for everything you have done for my son and our family!" Jesse Caillier Parent, TX

I can say with 100% certainty your event was one of the best instructional camps I’ve been to. To see my son improve that much in just a day was awesome to see. You were amazing with the boys and the parents while giving quality instruction and critique when necessary. So thank you so much for hosting such a great event. It was an A++. Looking forward to the next one."

"Rubio, I hope all is well with you. I wanted to share some thoughts with you. I was looking back at the videos on your web site of my son when he went to the first Rubio camp in Chicago. I watched the videos as he progressed through the years and then had the extreme pleasure and pride to watch him run on the field at __________. I have to admit I had a tear in my eye. I thought of the other players on his high school team who thought long snapping was not a real position, who laughed when he was on the side of the field going through his slow motion drills and snapping into a net, while the “real” players practiced. He is the ONLY D1 player from his team now. I thought about the role that you and your program played in this progression and I have come to the following conclusions: 1. The drills, the form, and the technique provided the base. 2. The competitions at the camp provided the confidence to snap under pressure 3. The fun atmosphere at the camps made the experience one that wanted him to not want to miss a camp 4. The fairness of the rankings provided a realistic set of goals to achieve 5. The Vegas camps provided a forum for the boys to create friendships with others around the country. I think the fact that you have created a stage that allows the boys to showcase the results of their hard work on a National level is what allows the opportunity for these boys to be a part of D1 teams that would simply not exist if your program was not in place. Let’s be honest, 99% of the boys in your program could not play other positions at top D1 programs due to size, speed, and overall abilities. Not much of a calling for a 6’2” 230 pound player who runs a 5.0 40 in major college football. Well there is now! I am very thankful that we discovered you and your program. While I know that my son had to put the work in and he did, I know that that you played a large role. I have been thinking about this email for a few weeks now since the first game they played against Michigan and am sorry it has taken me so long to send this. I am proud to say we are part of the Rubio family. In summary, Thank you!"

He is shining amongst several clearly non-Rubio trained snappers. The factory is real.

Don’t know that we’d even be attempting this journey without the Rubio family and training."

" we wanted to thank you for everything you have done for our son. When he went to his first camp in April of 2015 he was a shy little kid that didn't know anyone or what to expect. After attending many Rubio camps he now has a confidence that is amazing. He had made a lot of friends at your camps and he communicates with his peers regularly. You have given our son so much more than the ability to be a good longsnapper. You have taught him life lessons that have made him a better person. We couldn't be happier with the progress our son has made both as a longsnapper and as a person and you are such a big part of that."
