So You Didn’t Make “TOP 12″… What Now?

March 6, 2014 By

For the past month or so, you have been watching the TOP 12 Kickers / Punters get chosen one by one.  Each time a selection was made, one person was ecstatic while countless others felt the opposite emotions. When the final TOP 12er was chosen and a balloon was popped for many 2015, 2016 and even some 2017 Kickers / Punters. Now what?

Couple ways to look at it….

You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.

You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.

If you are a Kicker / Punter that strives to be the best, you want to be at that “TOP 12” camp this summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship Kickers / Punters, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder. Your opportunity is waiting for you in May at the Spring Event in Las Vegas.

At the Spring Event, I choose the “EVENT ELITE”. The “EVENT ELITE” is the best of the best from Vegas in May. They join the “TOP 12” to form the “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” Invite Only Camp on June 18-20, 2014 in Los Angeles. There is no set number for the “EVENT ELITE”. I could choose one K/P or I can choose 30. It all depends on the talent. I don’t choose just to choose. It would make me look ignorant in the end. If I say you belong at that camp, you are one of the best in the world. This is a true invite only camp. I do NOT just hand out invites to get people to come to it. That would give me no credibility. I choose the best because they are the best. They will represent the “TOP 12”, “ EVENT ELITE” and Chris Sailer Kicking the best in the future.

Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.

Or don’t.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

Which Camps Shoud I Attend in 2014?

March 1, 2014 By

Chris Rubio and I get asked hundreds of questions per day.  We write blogs to make finding answers to these questions that much easier.  The most common question we have been asked in 2014 is…. “Which camps should I attend this year?”

I can understand why this question has come up so often.  Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping have taken on more camps, of many different types, than ever before.  We have done this to create opportunity.  After 14 years in the business, we know the value of great instruction, the value of education, and perhaps most importantly, the value of exposure.  We have completed the circle and now offer every camp necessary to stay ahead of the competition and offer the most exposure possible to our athletes.

Las Vegas, “TOP 12” & “Event Elite”, US Army All-America Bowl, Underclassman “Invite Only”, Fall / Spring / Summer 1-Day Camps, East Bay Youth All-American Games, Australian Scout Camps, College & NFL Camps, Alabama / LSU / Texas A&M / UCLA / Oregon / USC.   Many have tried to copy the model that Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping have created, but there is a reason why we are #1 in the World.  Experience, real relationships with everyone that matters in this business & the best instruction available across the world.  If you want to make it as a kicker, punter or long snapper….

Chris Sailer Kicking – NY Nike Fall Camp Recap!

October 15, 2013 By

 

PICTUREEEEChris Sailer Kicking continued on the 2013 Nike Fall Camp tour this past weekend in Albany, NY.  Kickers, punters and long snappers from many of the surrounding states traveled to New York on what was perfect a day for a specialist camp.  The number of specialists in attendance and the talent continues to improve with each trip to the East Coast.  Take a look at the results.

Camp Champion
Chris Miner (2014, MA): The veteran Chris Sailer Kicking student had a tremendous all around day.  He is a great athlete with a very strong leg.  His consistency and confidence were on display on this day.  He won two major field goal competitions by hitting consecutive 50 yard field goals.  Chris is going to be a fine college kicker one day.

Kickoff Champion
Christian Kapp (2014, NY): Christian was perhaps the most consistent and technically sound kicker on the day.  The Chris Sailer Kicking veteran competed until the end of nearly every competition.  His kickoffs measured 65 yards with 3.8+ hang time.  He is a strong competitor who should do very well a the next level.

Punt Champion
Rory O’Riordan (2016, NY): The young punter stepped up when it counted the most.  His consistency is what ultimately what got him to the end in the punting competition.  Most punts measured 40+ yards with 4.3+ hang time.  Look for this young combo prospect to ca

use some waves in the near future.

Other Standouts: David Vandenabee, Devin Dzikowicz, George Gendler, and Jeffery Beattie.

For more rankings, stats and results visit www.ChrisSailerKicking.com Chris Sailer Kicking will next make stops in Dallas, TX (November 10), Chicago, IL (November 24), Atlanta, GA (December 7), Charlotte, NC (December 8th) and Los Angeles, CA (January 12).  The season will conclude with the 12th Annual National Kicking Event in Las Vegas on January 18-19, 2014.  This is the biggest kicking, punting & long snapping camp in the world.  The early registration deadline for Las Vegas is this Friday October 18th!

2013 CA Nike Fall Camp Recap – Kidd Shines!

October 7, 2013 By

The 2013 Chris Sailer Kicking Nike Fall Camp Tour got off to an outstanding start in Los Angeles this past weekend.  Over 100 specialists from all over the United States traveled to Chaminade High School to learn from and compete with the best.  The camp featured a great mixture of young talent and seasoned Chris Sailer Kicking veterans.  Dozens of kickers and punters in attendance will be playing college football on Saturday’s in the near future.  Take a look at the tremendous results.

Overall Camp Champion: Dillon Kidd (2014 JC, CA): Dillon outperformed 20 plus extremely talented punters on this day.  His consistency ultimately lead him to the championship.  Dillon consistently punted 40 to 50 yards with 4.5 plus hang time.  His best balls measured 55 plus yards with 4.8 plus hang time.  He is a national junior college punt leader who currently holds an offer from FIU.  After this performance, look for his recruiting to pick up big time.

Field Goal Champion:  Matthew Mengel (2014 JC, CA):  Matthew is one of the most talented junior college kickers in America.  He has a huge leg and shows tremendous potential.  He won back to back field goal competitions by hitting several 50 plus yard field goals.  Matthew is also a big leg on kickoffs and shows nice punting potential.

Kickoff Champion: Donny Hageman (2014 JC, CA): Donny was perhaps the most talented all around kicking/punting prospect in attendance.  Donny is a longtime Chris Sailer Kicking student and “TOP 12″ Member.  He has 10 field goals on the young junior college season and is also averaging well over 40 yards per punt.  Donny is a D1 scholarship prospect without a doubt.
