Cause life doesn&#8217;t work that way. Do you simply want an answer <strong><em>or<\/em><\/strong> do you want the right answer? Confused? Let me explain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I could easily give you some cookie-cutter, plain Jane answer to appease you, but what good does that <em>really<\/em> do? If you want me to give you a specific answer and one that actually works, I need to see exactly what I am dealing with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way, would you call your mechanic and spray him about how bad your car is and how it needs to be fixed but then NOT bring it into them? No. You would get the car to them so they could see it, decipher the problem and rectify the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes with me. As soon as I see you live (video&#8217;s fine, but it is harder for me to explain unless you are right next to me. At that point, I know you&#8217;ll get it), I can fix your issues within a matter of seconds. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I can easily give you some generic answer to make you <i><b>feel<\/b><\/i> better but it won&#8217;t <i><b>make<\/b><\/i> you better. Side note: those that give you a quick answer right off the bat, most likely don&#8217;t know what they are talking about and are just trying to make it look like they do.<\/p>\n<p>I can fix any single problem you have with Long Snapping and I can do it quick. This is my job and I take it very, very seriously. You want to be more accurate, more consistent, snap faster, block better, etc? Check, check, check and check. No problem at all, but let me see you first. I want to make sure you are getting a correct answer the first time (as I am sure you do too).<\/p>\n<p>Remember, there are no shortcuts to greatness. Rarely does <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitvid.com\/GICMO\">someone<\/a> just have an immediate knack for Long Snapping. Every single one of my top kids started the same way&#8230;.not knowing what they are doing. They began slow, worked hard on their form, their mental attitude and Bam!, they now know what they are doing with their Long Snapping. They worked smart and not just hard. You can spend all day pushing on a door to get out of a room but if it says to pull you might want to re-evaluate your methods.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of funny how Long Snapping is just like life, huh?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/signature.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2536 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"signature\" width=\"150\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3898\" src=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rubio_Card_frontMAGNET-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Rubio_Card_frontMAGNET\" width=\"550\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rubio_Card_frontMAGNET-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rubio_Card_frontMAGNET-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rubio_Card_frontMAGNET.jpg 1051w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Chris-Rubio-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4075\" src=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Chris-Rubio-2.jpg\" alt=\"Chris-Rubio-2\" width=\"175\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/rubio-long-snapping\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rubio Long Snapping<\/a> is, by far, the biggest and best resource for Long Snappers in the country.
