So, a College Coach Calls and Says….

March 5, 2013 By Rubio

Last night, a coach calls me and here is our conversation…..

Rubio ” What’s up Coach ________!”

Coach “Rubio, what’s going on? Is this a good time?”

Rubio “Perfect. Let it rain. What’s up?”

Coach “I am calling to do a background check on a couple of your guys. What can you tell me about the following guys’ personality and how they handle themselves socially…”

The rest of the conversation is obviously private. You think coaches only care about how you behave on the field? THINK AGAIN!

Clean up your act and start with social media. Remember, if you retweet something ignorant, YOU are ignorant. If you are tagged in a photo that shows people being wrong, YOU are wrong. If you hang out with morons, YOU are a moron. Blunt, but very, very true.

Trust me, coaches will find out about all of this.

Make social media work for you and not against you.

Rubio Long Snapper Niko Walsh Commits to New Mexico St!

February 28, 2013 By Rubio

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Niko Walsh (CA, ’13) has committed to New Mexico St. as a preferred walk-on!

Niko is a very smooth Long Snapper that might have the best PAT snaps in the country. He is like a machine on short snaps and extremely accurate with his long snaps. To say Niko has come a long way with his snapping would be a massive understatement. He started off, let’s say average, but worked right and hard to really maximize his potential with great form and using all of his body when he snaps. He is definitely for this next stage of his life in football.

Niko is not only a terrific Long Snapper, he is also an extremely humorous individual that has been know to drop some excellent rants on Twitter. Quiet when you first speak to him, but wickedly funny when you get to know him.

Congratulations to Niko Walsh!

10 Common Questions Regarding the Spring Vegas Event

February 27, 2013 By Rubio

1. How do I get invited to the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas? You don’t! It is not an invite only camp. It is a first come, first served Event. You register and you are in.

2. How old do you have to be to attend the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas? All levels of High School through second year of Junior College. I will allow younger if it is pre-approved through me. Seniors should still be attending since we will be right in the middle of the third wave of recruiting.

3. Is the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas only for advanced Long Snappers? NO, it is open to all levels of Long Snappers. The early you go, the better you will be in the long run. Trust me, I have seen it countless times. Don’t be the guy who waits and then blows it because they were too nervous. Go early and get your butterflies knocked out sooner than later.

4. Will there be small group sessions this spring? Yes! There will be a 4-5 pm and 5-6 pm session. They are one hour blocks meant to knock off the rust, get some last minute fine-tuning in and get used to the fields, brand new football and myself.

5. Is there a hotel you recommend for the Long Snappers and their parents? Yes, we have a group rate with the JW Marriott. It is about one mile from the fields and is superb.

6. When should we book flights? Plan on arriving on Friday and either leaving after 7 pm on Sunday evening (camp will end at 5 pm) or Monday morning.

7. Is there a rental car company you recommend? Yes, for rental cars, follow these steps: Go to www.enterprise.com, Fill in the information as dates and times needed, In the optional area you will add L540231 and then click continue, The next screen will ask for a PIN which is RUB, Choose your car and enjoy the discount.

8. If I have spring ball on friday, can I arrive on Saturday morning? Yes, but I MUST be notified as early as possible so I can put you in a later group on Saturday.

9. Why is the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas important? It is a major one for the final recruitment of seniors (look at #2), beyond important for the underclassmen as their recruiting will just be going into high gear and your only chance to be selected to the EVENT ELITE (the EVENT ELITE will join The TOP 12 at the Invite Only TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE camp this summer in CA)

10. What do I get for attending the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas? The best on Long Snapping instruction in the world, a Rubio Long Snapping shirt, a profile page with Rubio Long Snapping, a YouTube video to be used at your discretion, a recruiting and nutritional seminar at the hotel, a chance to make the EVENT ELITE and the winner of the camp receives one year of free Rubio Long Snapping camps (accommodations and transportation not included).

Rubio Long Snapper Emmett Odegard commits to UMASS!

February 23, 2013 By Rubio

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Emmett Odegard (CT, 13) has committed to UMASS as a preferred walk-on!

Emmett, who was just noted in a previous blog, is a terrific Long Snapper and person. He has been with Rubio Long Snapping since 2010, made the TOP 12 last year and can easily go down as one of the hardest workers to improve the most over time. He is a true student of Long Snapping and was dominant at the 11th Annual National Kicking and Snapping Event in Las Vegas a month ago. He made it to the finals and only lost by about one inch. I am extremely impressed with and proud of Emmett! UMASS got a great one!

Congratulations to Emmett Odegard!

I’m the best Long Snapper in the country because nobody else has my combination of dependability, size, strength, and smarts.

I am a human playbook- in addition to knowing all of my plays for my primary position of center, I also know every assignment for guard, tackle, and tight end as well. I’m that guy on the O-line.

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

February 20, 2013 By Rubio

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….

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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
