Top 5 Things a Coach Looks at When You are on the Field

February 20, 2013 By

Here are the top 5 things a coach will look at, in addition, obviously, to your athletic ability, when they are scouting you on the football field….

  1. Are you looking to the crowd, specifically mom and/or dad, after every single play? There is nothing more frustrating for a coach than to see a player who needs constant reassurance from his parents throughout the game. Trust yourself and be confident. You will be able to speak with them after the game. It’s not like they can even help you during the process so focus on you and the game. 
  2. Are you hustling? If you aren’t hustling on the field, that means you won’t hustle in practice or in the off-season. They want an athlete that goes full speed and, by the end, of the game, is done.
  3. Are you taking plays off? Goes along with #2. A coach despises a player that, quite obviously, will take a play off here and there. What happens when the play you take off goes your way? The play is done and so are you.
  4. Are you interacting with teammates? When you come to the sideline, are you cheering your team on? Are you motivating? Are you putting people down? Are you focused on the game? Are you looking in the crowd? Are you arguing with coaches?
  5. Are you making mistakes? This one can be tricky, because if you are hustling, going full speed and not taking plays off, it will be hard for them to even tell IF you have made a mistake on the field. Obviously, coaches don’t want you to make a mistake, but like they say, if you do, make it a hundred miles per hour.

Remember, if a coach actually comes to a game to recruit you, he will be completely focused on the little things throughout the entire process. Essentially is job and his life is on the line. He recruits poorly and he is fired. He will watch you like a hawk and see everything. Make sure he sees the right things and he leaves with no doubt you are the man for the job.

The 5 Star Long Snapper

January 15, 2013 By

In the past, I have described to you what it takes to be a great Long Snapper. When you combine all of those factors, you create the ultimate Long Snapper….you create the 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper.

Please notice, I didn’t just write a 5 Star Long Snapper. I wrote a 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper. There is a difference.

The term/prize/accomplishment of 5 stars is thrown around a bit too much, and too easily, these days. It has become almost like a standing ovation at an awards show or an encore at a concert, it has become expected. And, when something is expected, it is shocking when it doesn’t happen. People can’t grasp the concept that such a high honor is not something that is just given, it is earned. It takes a great amount of skill, work and dedication.

One of the biggest “complaints” I receive from parents and Long Snappers is that they don’t understand how their child/them is NOT a 5 Star for me if someone else has them as such. Simple, they just aren’t a 5 Star Long Snapper…yet. My rankings are my rankings. I do them myself. I take great pride in them. I travel to all my own camps and see everything. I don’t rank off a Target, charting or some sort of made up mathematical formula. I know what it takes to snap at the next level and I know what the college and pro coaches want in a Long Snapper. There is a reason my top Long Snappers are always with the top programs.

I see the most Long Snappers in the country…by far. Therefore, being a 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper is an actual accomplishment. A 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper combines all of the aspects that make up a great Long Snapper (you better know them by now) with the fact, that in my eyes, you could play a college game tonight…let alone in a year or two.

Being a 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper is something to take pride in. You have put in the right work and accomplished a real goal. It was not handed to you and it was out of real field of athletes.

Will you be the next 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper, a true and real accomplishment.

Chris Sailer Kicking and Rubio Long Snapping Alums Square off in Denver this Weekend!

January 9, 2013 By

This weekend’s Divisional AFC Playoff game in Denver, CO featuring the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Denver Broncos includes two Chris Sailer Kicking and Rubio Long Snapping alums. The featured alums are both rookies and stars in the making.

Justin Tucker, Kicker for the Baltimore Ravens is having a phenomenal season and was just a few votes away from being selected for the Pro Bowl. Tucker has connected on 30 of 33 field goals this year and has been a reliable asset on special teams for the AFC North Champs Ravens.

Denver Broncos Long Snapper Aaron Brewer is another standout Rookie out of San Diego State. Brewer has started all 16 games this season and will look for his first playoff victory this weekend. Brewer beat out veteran Long Snapper Lonie Paxton in training camp and has never looked back.

Look for these two Rookies in the game’s most critical moments to see who comes out on top.

Chris Sailer Kicking and Rubio Long Snapping are proud of the success of these two great football players on and off the field.

Good Luck guys!

What About the Long Snapper?

December 20, 2012 By

They rarely get a mention even when they do their jobs perfectly. Make a mistake however, and they are usually blasted on replays. It’s life in the world of perhaps the most under-appreciated position in all of sports. Welcome to the world of football’s Long-Snapper.

Long Snapping only takes place on field goals, extra points, and punts, but there’s probably more to this job than you think. Consider that a Long Snapper is playing the important role of center while he is in. While an extra point or field goal requires a snap of about 7 yards, a punt will require a snap of twice that distance. That’s not all either, after snapping the ball he has to block a player who gets much more playing time than he does, and on punts he also has to run and cover the kick.

You talk about no respect…the highest drafted Long Snapper in the entire history of the NFL was with the 142nd pick. In 2003, the Browns took Ryan Pontbriand in the fifth round that year.

Next time you see those dramatic game winning field goals, take time to pay homage to that invisible gladiator of the gridiron, that unsung pilot of the pigskin, the Long Snapper.

NFL Long Snapper Prospect Brandon Hartson

December 18, 2012 By

NFL Long Snapper prospect Brandon Hartson recently finished his college career with the University of Houston and came out to get a lesson with me in Lewiston, ID to get fine-tuned for his Pro Day at Houston.

Right off the bat, it is easy to see that Brandon passes the eye ball test very quickly. He is an easy 6’2″ and right at 250 with no visible extra weight on him. He is built like a rock and extremely flexible as well. Even though he has gone through a lot in his life, he has one of the best overall attitudes I have ever encountered with a Long Snapper. Brandon is one of those people in life that ooze positivity. Great person to be around and a team will be fortunate to have him on their roster on his demeanor alone.

In regards to snapping, Brandon is very sharp. He snaps a smooth ball that is fast, yet still easy to catch. He averages right at .7 and is extremely accurate, which is easily what the NFL wants in a Long Snapper. I don’t believe I moved my feet one time to catch a ball throughout the entire day. He picked up blocking very well and, once he gets his large hands on you, it is over. PATs were like a machine and there is no issue at all there.

Bottom line, a very solid NFL prospect for Long Snapper that has the ability to play for many years in the league.

Rubio Long Snapper Daniel LaMontagne picks up Award

December 10, 2012 By

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Daniel LaMontagne of Furman University has been named to the All-Freshman Team for the Southern Conference! This is a massive honor and couldn’t happen to a better person.

LaMontagne has been with Rubio Long Snapping for over two years and just continues to improve with each showing at a camp. Originally, his form was a tad off and he was little undersized. He worked right and hard to achieve greatness. He is now, obviously, one of the best Long Snappers in his class. Tremendous attitude and work ethic make him an excellent snapper and person for Furman University to have on their roster.

LaMontagne will be on the Rubio Long Snapping staff this January at the 11th Annual National Snapping Event in Las Vegas. See you there.

Rubio Long Snapper Jeff Overbaugh dominating at SDSU

December 6, 2012 By

Dominating Rubio Long Snapper, Jeff Overbaugh is a five star long snapper for the class of 2012.  Jeff is originally from Anchorage, Alaska where he made ESPN’s high school all-Alaska team, helping his team, the Robert Service High School Cougars to a 10-0-1 overall record in 2011.  Ranked #3 overall in the country by Rubio Long Snapping, The true freshman starter, now playing for San Diego State, heated up in summer camp and didn’t cool off. With twelve regular season games in the books, freshman Jeff Overbaugh is 105 for 105 in all snap attempts.

Jeff is my third Rubio Long Snapper in a row to get picked up by and dominate at San Diego State.  Tyler Schmitt was my first, who has now gone on to be drafted by the Seahawks, and Aaron Brewer was second, who currently is with the Broncos.  Rivals.com said, “Instructor Chris Rubio who rated Jeff a five star D1 ready long snapper must be smiling knowing he got it right.”  Yes, yes I am smiling!  The success of my students is what drives me.

Watch the clip and see for yourself!
