Congratulations to Event Elite Member: JC Everett!

May 14, 2013 By

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: 1st part of a store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar and if you were to go 570240 inches up but take away a letter

(A store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar is JC Penny because of “penny” First part is JC. Then, a place almost nine miles (570240 inches) high is Mt. Everest. Take away a consonant “S” and you have everett)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper JC Everett  (AR, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

JC is a terrific Long Snapper that is built like a brick house. He is strong and snaps the ball with incredible speed. He might have the quickest hands in his class. Great attitude and he does exactly what you tell him to do.

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Wyatt “Tucker” Smith!

May 14, 2013 By

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: Hemorrhoids would be an occupational hazard of this job minus a consonant and this character’s wife was a liar (so was he) w/ good balance.

(A trucker sits all day and, therefore can get hemorrhoids. So, take the “r” off trucker and you have TUCKER. Then, Angelina Jolie played Mrs. Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. One scene has her balancing on a chair cleaning drapes. She was an undercover agent and so was her husband. Bottom line, last name Smith.)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Tucker Smith (he also goes by Wyatt, but Tucker worked better for my clue) (MS, JC/14…originally a 2013 but since he is a JC he had the option of staying another year and he obviously took it) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

Tucker is headed to his second JC year and is an absolute phenomenal Long Snapper. Snaps well below .7 on a consistent basis and is built like a D1 athlete already. Keep a very close eye on him as he could get picked up at anytime since he is a qualifier out of high school.

Tucker Smith

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Seth Combs!

May 13, 2013 By

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: Someone with a sigmatism wouldn’t like his first name and if you think I do this in the morning, you have some issues.

(A sigmatism is another word for lisp and anyone with a lisp wouldn’t embrace saying the name Seth due to the TH ending and I would never comb my hair in the morning)

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Christian Samarzich!

May 12, 2013 By

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: German K/P w/ good amount of sun & pitcher/barman for the Sox + 2nd smallest planet + result of Toxicodendron radicans

(German K/P is Chris Sailer, who is beyond German, + a tan = Christian. Then, pitcher/barman for Sox was Sam Malone of the TV show Cheers + 2nd smallest planet is Mars + result of Toxicodendron radicans, which is poison ivy, would be itch….so Sam+Mars+Itch = Samarzich

Major Positive Vibes to Rubio Long Snapper Thomas Newberg

May 11, 2013 By

Everyone needs to send out some major positive vibes to Rubio Long Snapper Thomas Newberg (TN, ’16).

He was involved in a car accident last night (he is fine) and is pretty banged up. When you see the photos, you will realize just how lucky he is. He was sitting right where a Ford F-150 made impact (yes, back seat behind passenger) and suffered only a cut above his eye and a bruised hip and collarbone.

Newberg 2

Why was he not more injured?

HE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT!!!!

He is lucky to be alive and please send positive vibes his way. I have spoken to his mother and he has already tried to get into his Long Snapping stance and is still planning on being at the Underclassmen Invite Event in late June.

Please, please be safe tonight and, for the love of all that is holy, BUCKLE UP!

The Long Snapping Instructors in Vegas

May 9, 2013 By

As you know, I choose a couple Rubio Long Snappers in college and the pros to help me out at my camps. Vegas is the biggest one and I always get the most requests from athletes wanting to help out. I am sure it has a bit to do with me and a lot to do with Vegas:)

My rationale for who gets to go is simple, you represent me well and you are chosen. Simple. I will check Twitter, Facebook and anything else I can view…if I see anything that does not represent who I am and what Rubio Long Snapping is all about, you will not get brought on staff.  My Long Snappers are among the best in the country, however a major factor for choosing my staff members is based upon their personality.

I just received this email from a parent and I had to share….

“Thanks for a great camp.  I know you are probably flooded with emails following the camp so I will try and make it brief.  I just wanted to share a story from the past weekend.  My son _____ was somewhat disappointed in his performance during the camp; he has been working his butt off preparing.  As we sat in the airport awaiting our plane my son was still in his Rubio Shirt.  Three of your instructors, kickers Matt Anderson (Sailer guy), Andrew Endicott (Sailer guy) and long snapper Nick Monaghan, still in their red shirts, saw him and immediately came over to him.  They immediately started asking him about the camp and long snapping, offering advice and encouragement.  They asked what his rank was and my son kind of mumbled the # under his breath; all three started laughing about their rankings when they started out.  They told him how the kids at the top in the beginning were not always the ones there in the end.  Andrew Endicott gave the best advice when he told Jack “this is a game of attrition, the ones that stick with it, work hard, hit the camps are the ones who finish the highest in the end.”  They further talked about staying out of trouble and keeping your grades up; utilizing real examples of kids they knew with a ton of talent, who blew it because of bad choices. 

I truly could not have scripted a better scenario for that time and place.  A nice hello would have been sufficient and made him feel good, but they stayed there talking to him for about twenty minutes.  I got the feeling they took immense pride in those red shirts and they felt that it was their turn to repay the mentorship that Rubio Long Snapping  / Chris Sailer Kicking staff had given them.  I flew home with one motivated kid ready to start preparing for his next camp and the upcoming season.  Thanks again for running a great program.”     

That email makes my heart full but it gets better. I forwarded it Rubio Long Snapper Nick Monaghan, one of the instructors in Vegas and here was his response….

“We did what the instructors before us did when we were campers.”

And the cycle continues….LOVE it and my heart is full.

Welcome to Rubio Long Snapping.

Thank you

Day One Recap of the 11th Annual Spring Event in Las Vegas

May 4, 2013 By

Day one is complete and the talent was overwhelming in Vegas for the 11th Annual National Snapping Event. Well over 120 Long Snappers from all over the country and Canada are in attendance to compete against one another.

Today was devoted simply to instruction with some live snapping. The live snapping was great in showing who was ready for a real national event.

After everything was said and done today, the top performing Long Snappers were….

2013/JC
– Wyatt Smith continues to dominate and look great.
– Jason Diffee looked the best I have seen him and was extremely impressive.
– Cody Block looks very strong and was snapping a consistent ball
– Kevin Fennel looked solid & has a great attitude.
– Andrew MacLean showed that Canadians make excellent Long Snappers.
– Wesley Bertoni was snapping very hard today and looked good.

2014
– Alan Lucy was just outstanding all day. He is snapping with a purpose and it’s awesome to watch.
– Tanner Carew was on fire and snapping with severe speed all day.
– Adam Vaught was using his massive frame very well all day.
– Christian Samarzich was nailing down his spiral and snapping with great confidence.
– Nate Adams looks great and is consistent with his snap. Strong.

– Curtis Billen might have the quickest snap in the country.

– Jordan Frese is really coming along nicely. Could dominate tomorrow.
– Garrett Frum continues to improve and just keeps moving on up.
– Justin Garza was very impressive and was just ripping the ball back to the punters.
– Mitchell Hardy looked solid and consistent.
– Nate Hawkins is smooth & the harder he snaps, the better he is.
– Clayton Jackson looked very solid Nd impressed.
– Connor Kelsey caught a groove and really performed extremely well today.
– Joseph Lang has the ability to go very far with his Long Snapping.
– Brandon Locha is accurate and consistent. Speed will be key.
– John Morrison looked comfortable and was snapping the ball very hard all day.
– Kyle Murphy can be dominant once everything clicks. When it does, he will dominate.
– Tommy Sullivan looked great and snapped hard. Impressive.
– Casey Wilson is beyond smooth and just great. Blocking will be the key for him.

2015
– Blake Ferguson is a Long Snapper with great size and oozing confidence.
– AJ Carty is snapping hard and it just great. Blocking and accuracy will be key.
– Liam McCullough is massive and great. Everything is starting to click again. Tomorrow will be big.
– Tyler Douglas is built well and snaps a hard ball.
– Grant Gluhaich REALLY impressed me with the speed of his snap. Watch him tomorrow.
– George Madden looked solid and if he can lock down his spiral, he will dominate.
– Ben Makowski is good…very good. The more he knows that, the better he does.
– Tyler Moore is at his best when he just lets the ball fly out of his hands.
– Ryan Simmons continues to impress me with his drive and consistency.
– Chase Urbach was snapping extremely well and looked great.

2016
– Donald Reiter is thick and was snapping a very solid ball.
– Damon Johnson is still catching his grove, but when he does, he is phenomenal for his age
– Johnny Den Bleyker continues to impress me. Snaps a great ball and is very athletic.
– Conner Kirkegaard snaps the ball hard and handles pressure well.
– John Shannon is excellent for his age. Once he gets really comfortable, he will dominate.

Tomorrow, we will focus on the competition aspect of the camp. Long Snappers will be tested on The Rubio Target, filmed for YouTube, run a 40 yard dash, timed by Rubio and will be live snapping to the punters & kickers.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@TheChrisRubio) and on Facebook (Rubio Long Snapping) for continuous updates tomorrow and in the future.

Rubio Long Snapper Erik Thompson Commits to UCLA….for Rugby!

May 3, 2013 By

Rubio Long Snapper and TOP 12er Erik Thompson has committed to UCLA for rugby!

Erik had fantastic grades, is as tough as nails and obviously a tremendous athlete and I am very proud of him.

Some might ask if I am upset that he isn’t Long Snapping in college? My answer, as long as he is happy, I am happy. THAT is, and always is, the most important thing to me with my “kids.”

Congratulations once again to Erik Thompson!

How to Focus Prior to a Rubio Long Snapping Camp?

May 2, 2013 By

If you are considering attending a Rubio Long Snapping Camp, or are already signed up, you will want to make sure you are prepared. One of the ways to prepare is to clear your mind, focus, concentrate, and wipe out jittery nerves. Here are some suggestions.

 

 

  • Create some clear camp goals ahead of time. How will you determine if you’ve had a successful camp if you don’t have goals?
  • Recognize you are not going to camp to show what you know you are going to find out what you don’t know.
  • Prepare yourself physically to build your confidence. Run sprints, stretch. Get your body ready and your mind will follow.
  • Know what to expect. Read and ask questions. You don’t need the added stress of the unknown.
  • Focus on the successes of your sporting career. Remember and picture those moments of victory and success as clearly and as detailed as possible in your memory.
  • If you can, talk to someone who has experienced a Rubio Long Snapping Camp.

These are some solid ways to get you mentally prepared for camp. Just remember, if you pay attention and follow through with instructions, you are extremely likely to improve your skills and knowledge. It is just the “how much” that is in doubt. Good luck and enjoy camp.

Highlight Videos Available Through Rubio Long Snapping

May 1, 2013 By

Rubio Long Snapping is happy to announce that Highlight Videos will now be available for purchase at Rubio Long Snapping Camps/Events.  The very first opportunity to purchase a professional quality highlight video will be this weekend at the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas on May 4-5.  This is an incredible opportunity and will only be available to the first 30 Long Snappers, kickers or punters that reserve their video.  They are offering a discounted promotional rate of $100 for Vegas this year.  Here is how it will work:

1. You can preegister for this service by emailing info@varsitytape.com.  In the subject line type: “Vegas Video”.  The staff will get back to you with further instructions.

2. You can register for this service in Las Vegas.  However, if 30 others preegister, the service will no longer be available.  If you choose to take this route, you are taking a big risk.

A sample video (see below) was taken this past weekend at the 11th Annual National Snapping Preparation camp in Los Angeles.  This is a rough cut, so you can imagine how great the finished products will look.  If you choose to purchase a highlight video, the video will be yours to use as you see fit.  My recommendation: Email the video to coaches, add the video to your Rubio Long Snapping Player Ranking Profile, add the Video to your NCSA Player Profile and add it to your YouTube page.

You Never Know Who is Watching

May 1, 2013 By

This morning, I was sent a link by a Rubio Long Snapping parent with the title “Did you see this?”

Usually, when I get an email like that, I am bit nervous, to say the least, since something bad is coming on the other end of the link.

This was not the case on this particular email.

I clicked on the link and my heart begin to fill as I read about Rubio Long Snapper Ryan Eustace of Arkansas St.

The link sent me to an article from a fan that came across Eustace and described how he treated the author’s child (whom Eustace, I assume, just thought was a random kid).

Screen Shot 2013-05-01 at 6.56.00 AM

This article shows that you never know who is watching. Full embrace to Eustace. Well done!

 UPDATE: Eustace was put on scholarship on August 15, 2014 and I couldn’t be more proud of this great young man!

11th Annual Spring Event in Las Vegas – KEY POINTS

April 29, 2013 By

The 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event – Sponsored by Nike is less than a week away.  While many specialists are taking this time of year off, those that seriously want to play in college and know what it takes are working harder than ever.  Those hard workers will be in Las Vegas May 4-5, 2013 ready to impress and gain the most valuable national exposure in the nation.

Here is some useful information for those attending and those that are still considering attending.

  • Event Date: May 4-5, 2013
  • Arrive Friday May 3rd.  The earlier that you arrive, the more well rested you will be for the weekend.
  • Plan on being at camp until 5PM Sunday May 5th.  There is no way of knowing if you will make the Finals Round Sunday until you and all other participants have completed the initial round of charting Sunday morning.  Whether you make the Finals Round or not, you should plan on staying on watching the Finals Round.  Get the full experience from the camp!
  • Friday Small Group Sessions (4:00 – 5:00 & 5:00 – 6:00) are OPTIONAL.  These were designed to knock some rust off, get rid of jet lag legs, and gain confidence heading into Saturday.  If you can make it, I highly recommend you attend. CLICK HERE
  • Location: Las Vegas Outdoor Soccer 1400 N. Rampart Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89128
  • There is no bleacher seating.  Bring chairs or buy some cheap chairs if you would like to sit while you watch.
  • Why May? May is also known as “Evaluation Period” for college coaches.  This is a very HOT time for recruiting for all classes.  May offers maximum exposure.  Chris Sailer and myself will be handing 100′s of calls after this event.  Recruiting Boards will be set based on results and our evaluations.  Want to be offered a scholarship at those college camps this summer?  Attending this camp is how they will know about you!
  • The 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event gives you a chance to make the “Event Elite”.  There is NO set number of specialists that will be selected.  The number selected is based on the number of participants that can compete at that VERY HIGHEST LEVEL.  Usually 15-20 are selected to join the “TOP 12″ at the most prestigious Invite Only Camp in the world.
  • Think you are good enough to make the “Event Elite” – Click HERE to see who you are competing with and to get a little history about the “TOP 12″ & “Event Elite”
  • The Spring Event in NOT an Invite Only Camp.  This camp offers a great experience to Long Snappers of all levels.  Expect a wide range of talent from beginners to the best of the best from around the world in the Classes of 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, Junior Colleges and 4-Year Transfer Students.  The best of the best, The “Event Elite”, selected from the Spring Event will be invited to attend the “TOP 12″ and “Event Elite” Camp in June.
  • Come prepared to enjoy your experience.  Do NOT put to much pressure on yourself.  Come with open eyes and ears.  Learn from your instructors and your peers.  Look around and take it all in.  Watch other groups.  Watch the college and pro demo.  Attend the Meetings.  There are so many things to learn and that you can and will benefit from if you take advantage.  Leave the camp with goals and a motivation to work harder than ever!
  • Saturday – Instructional Day.  You will get plenty of reps.  Pace yourself. Your group numbers have been emailed to you to you on Thursday. If you have not received it, please email me immediately.
  • Sunday – Competition Day.  You will be charted.  Your competition start time will be assigned to you at Check-In Saturday.
  • Saturday Meetings are the the Group Rate Hotel – JW Marriott.  I highly advise that participants and their parents attend. Meetings are from 6:30 – 7:30.  Get there early and enjoy.
