"Just wanted to say thanks.The National camp in Vegas was outstanding.You and Chris S  are outstanding teachers and create a very positive and up beat atmosphere for everyone.The staff members were first class as well. My son has improved so much in a short amount of time. Thanks again for all your hard work."

"As usual.  Awesome blog.  And, as usual, can be applied to so much more than long snapping/sports."

"Just saw my son for the first time after his lesson with you. All I can say is "WOW" You did such a great job with him. He looks smooth, consistent, relaxed and fast. You did an amazing job with him!!! Thank you"

"My son will be attending ______ as a preferred walk on simply because he attended your Vegas competition and you recommended him.
After a disappointing football season his senior year, we were looking for a LS camp that my son could attend. I came across several online but yours stood out especially seeing how many of your LS's were going on to play at college level. We decided to attend the competition in Jan. 2011 and it was the best decision we ever made and best money we ever spent. Although my son only attended this one camp, you and your program have had a huge impact on his football future. Being a LS for a team with a losing record didn't exactly bring him much recognition. He had always wanted to go to college and play ball but realized that was probably not going to happen. Now this is where you come in, by simply recommending him, my son will be attending __________! Your recognition, expertise and respect from college coaches are valid and true. Everything you say and preach on your website is accurate. I can attest to it. I truly believe my son would not have been a preferred walk on at _______ if it were not for you and your program. A heartfelt thank you to you for the opportunities you give LS's and for your passion in what you do. It is evident you love this and were meant to do it. Keep up the great work!"

"The tip you gave me might be the best piece of advice I've ever gotten. I was on point today. Averaging .72 on the hip. Thanks"

"Thank you so much for all you do to inspire these kids."

"Rubio you put on another outstanding camp as usual. You have truly blessed our family. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in"

"I just wanted to thank you for all of the valuable information that I was able to learn at your camp today.  The other camps I've attended have told me that I need to use my legs more, but you were the first person to actually show me how to do it!  I told my dad that this was by far the best teaching camp that I've been to.  I look forward to more Rubio camps in the future!"

"Thanks so much for allowing me to come to the camp; I learned so much and I had a great time. I feel like you got me on the right track so I can improve my snapping abilities. I really appreciate all of your help and special interest in me."

"I LOVE THIS BLOG...It is so true and it inspired me this morning...well done. You are one smart guy!"

"The best part about Rubio is his integrity and knowledge. I am appreciative of the way he conducts himself and the way he encourages the athletes. I enjoyed the way Rubio spoke to the parents in encouraging how we can be coaches with our athletes. That has really improved my ability as a parent to help my son. He practices almost everyday now. Before the camp he had not snapped for 3 weeks. We were both inspired and encouraged that we can do this together. Thank you. "

"Rubio thanks for all your help with my son we are going to be a perf walkon at ull which is univ of _________"

"Thanks Rubio for the blog. My son hears that kind of stuff from me all the time, but you know how kids listen to their parents. NOT. But coming from you (cause he really looks up to you) will be just what he needs. Again, thanks for all you do, not just on the field training, but all the real life training you do for my boy"

"My son really enjoyed the instruction and competition in Vegas.  The instructors were first class and provided great feedback. We are both looking forward to the next event. Thank you and all the instructors for a great experience."

"Congrats on the good news about all your snappers--- I so wished that I knew about you 4 years ago!"

"My son and I have learned more in just two camps with you than we did in three years of others camps."

""Coach" Rubio (I will explain later): I want to first of all express appreciation and gratitude for what I (actually - my son) experienced during our brief day together at the Oregon camp......We were exposed to so much and left with so many takeaways that I can''t believe it was all accomplished in a single day..... We have an entirely new view and knowledge base for what it really means to be a successful long snapper.....
As for the greeting at the beginning of this email..... at the camp, you told the players and parents to call you "Rubio"  rather than coach or Chris - in watching you work and play with the boys -- and how you are able to convey so much meaningful data in so little time and have it stick shows a skill and passion that only the best coaches and teachers possess - many can go through the motions and "coach a position" - you bring a love and awareness and energy that draws the players in - at all ages - a rare gift..... Thank you for that.......You will see us again."

"Rubio, your blog is fantastic! Well done"

"Loved the NIKE camp Rubio-- but most of all loved the way you motivate these kids in all aspects of life !!!"

"Thank you so much for a fantastic camp."

"I was very impressed by the quality of the camp and the delivery style of your presentation - the kids seem to hang on your every word, well done!"

"Just wanted to say I had a great time at your camp today. I learned a lot of great things and I can''t wait to show you my results in the future."

"Rubio, my son had a great time last Sunday at your camp, he is very pumped about this and he has practiced every night since he got home. I had no idea there was so much to long snapping! My son is REALLY looking forward to May in Vegas and wants to work hard between now and then so you can see an improvement. Thanks!"

"I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done and continue to do for my son and everyone else who wants to succeed at long snapping.  My son has such determination and enthusiasm for long snapping, it is so wonderful to see it in his eyes.  He is such a joy to have as a son, and has made me so very proud of him. I thank you again, for everything!  You have played such an important role in his life.

"Hey Rubio, I had my spring game yesterday on ESPN 3. I had 12 punt snaps, 6 pat/field goals, a tackle and nearly had a fumble recovery (even though I know that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades ;) It was a great day for my family and me, and I just wanted to take the time to thank you for everything you have done for us. I can''t even begin to tell you the profound impact you have had on my life. You''re right when you say that you are far more than a coach: you are a mentor and a role model. It''s hard to believe how things have fallen in place for me, and I know that you have played a huge role in the shaping of the man I am today. None of this would have been possible without your positive reinforcement, and it seems you have squeezed out every ounce of potential I have within my sub-six foot body. The things you have taught me exceed far beyond the long snapping world and, for that, I thank you."

"I love this Rubio thank you for sharing it with me. Very inspirational"

"I just want to let you know that I appreciate the opportunity to attend the 9th Annual Snapping Event. It  was a honor to be in attendance with so many great long snappers. You and your staff always put on a professional first class event. I am a better snapper and person for it, Thank you. Hope to see you again soon."

"Thank you for working with my son and being a part of him achieving his dream"

"My son attended the U of A and TN camps this past weekend that you directed. He learned so much in that short time and appreciated the extra tips you gave him at the end of day two. He feels like he learned more the past two days than he has since he started snapping."

"It''s (son''s success) has everything to do with your leadership, mentorship, skill and unique ability to make him a better snapper, more importantly, a better person. I am eternally grateful...  Thank you"

"Rubio, want to thank you so much for correcting my form and getting me ready for my pro day."

"Rubio, Thank you for an awesome camp.  As a High School coach for the past 22 years I have never seen an individual skills camp run the way you and Chris Sailer run yours."

"Our previous Long Snapper went to the TOP 12 Camp and anyone who goes to that Rubio camp is legit. We like Rubio Long Snappers cause we know they can get the job done"

"it was another great camp in Sherman Oaks a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to let you know what long snapping has meant to me as a father. My son is young for his grade and most other lineman have 40 to 80 lbs on him at our school. He sat most his Freshman year and it was frustrating for us both and of course there is no long snapping culture here as they used the center to muscle back knuckle balls. I saw an opportunity and after your first camp he was hooked. dragging me to the park and gym 5 days a week snapping, watching endless you tube footage etc. At last years H.S. summer practice when the long snap try outs started my son caused such a stir that all the coaches Varsity included stood and watch my son as he dominated that position. my son had a season of perfect snaps and secured his spot as a player. Thank you!"

"Liked the piece on Talent very much.  Great lesson for all areas of life"

"I am going to print THIS out and put it on my wall so I can read it every morning when I wake up. HUGE WIN!!"

"Thanks for your time yesterday. You gave my son a lot of great instruction along with inspiration to working harder and improving his long snapping."

"Thanks so much for all your tremendous help"

"I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for my son. All of the offers he has received are because of you. I can''t tell you how much my family appreciates you and all that you have done for us"

"This blog is a great perspective; for an athlete, a parent or even a coach"

"By the way, since the camp we went to last time in Chicago, and since he has been to other snapping camps, your camp is by far the most educational for snappers. As a parent, I have always tried to not stay at practices and camps because of all the politics in schools that are played. But the way you encouraged parents to stay and the way you trained parents on how to work with our kids was one of the most beneficial things I have ever been a part of. Your camp (and the book we bought from you) has really allowed me to have confidence in training with him.  So since your camp and your encouragement for parents to be part of the training process, I decided to stay and watch at some other camps he''s attended in Michigan and I cannot believe how much your camp really does blow anything else out of the water. So I just want to thank you for that."

"Chris, I have to thank you for all the help you have given my High School program with all the tips you have given me over the years. We have placed a snapper to the next level the last three years. Your blog is also a great source of help!"

"Others will never come close to the personal service you give to your clients.  Your only problem is that there is only one of you!"

"First of all, thank you for another wonderful camp!  Your lessons and camps are a highlight in my son's (and MY) life!  My son always comes away a better snapper and a happy young man!"

"Your camp was a great experience for him and myself as well."

"It was my pleasure to meet you on Sunday in Chicago.  I was very impressed with the talented group of students.  Your step-by-step instructions are by far the best I have ever been exposed to. I look forward to meeting you again. By the way, where the hell were you when I was long snapping?

"Rubio- Just had to send you and email and let you know how appropriate your blog was today.  We have been following your blog which has had been great for answering questions and also, dealing with life.  I encourage him to re- read different things in your blog which I think were written just for him.  I have encouraged him and told him this wont be easy, but if he works hard, improves and continues to work with you, I have no doubt in my mind he could be a good college snapper.  I think he has had trouble seeing that.  I have been sending him texts and ask him if he has read your blogs and especially the ones that I think will help him.  Well, today, he sent me a text and asked me if I had read your blog. I had not yet (sorry, I was busy taking out wisdom teeth!!).  After I read it, except for the part about wisdom teeth-given, I thought it was exactly what he needed to hear!! Hopefully, he did hear what you said.  Thanks for being there for the boys not only for the snapping, big part, but for the life lessons that they need to hear. Thanks again for all you do, and keep it up!"

"Thanks for everything Rubio....I couldn't have done it without you"

"I committed to __________ and I am signing on Tuesday morning. Thank you for all of your help. I couldn't have done it without your help. I really appreciate everything you've done"

"Just read your last blog. Got me so pumped up I did another set of drills. Very inspirational"
