What Does a Graduating Kicker / Punter Do?

February 26, 2013 By

Say you are one of the lucky ones that will be playing football next year for a four year university, what do you do now?

You get better! You don’t rest on your laurels. You make sure you are as prepared as possible when entering college so the coaches know you are serious and ready to take over the reigns for the next two to four years of your life. Nothing will upset a coach more than a recruited athlete coming in unprepared. That is essentially your first impression to the new staff at your new school and that can easily set you up, in the wrong way, for years to come. Don’t be that guy!

Yes, you are allowed to, and could be attending my Kicking / Punting Camps from now until you report to camp for your school….and you should. Going to a camp right before you head off will polish off the rough edges, fine tune you and build your confidence.

You want a more advanced camp with only college level Kicker / Punters? You can attend the College Camp for Kickers / Punters on July 19-21 in CA. It will be structured just like the TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE camp but with no current HS players. All participants will be either 2013/JC heading to a four year university or a current college Kicker / Punters already doing what you believe, think and hope you are ready for in a couple short months.

Regardless, be prepared and don’t just sit. You got into college, but you have done nothing there….yet. See you soon!

The Value of Exposure

February 22, 2013 By

The Definition of Exposure is: the condition of being presented to view or to be made known.

This definition couldn’t be more relevant to the ultra-competitive landscape of High School Football and College Recruiting. It is more important now than ever to expose your talents to various Universities looking for top-level talent. Obviously, there are many ways to do this especially with the rise of various technologies like YouTube, Social Media and recruiting websites. However, this is not enough, you need to surround yourself with camps, organizations and people who are connected to these various Universities and whose opinions and recommendations are taken into the highest of consideration.

Chris Sailer Kicking is this Organization. CSK offers the MOST exposure in the country for high school Kickers and Punters. When a College Football Program is looking for a top level Kicker or Punter CSK is its first stop. Chris Sailer Kicking covers all aspects of exposure for its players including; Camps, National Events, Online Media, Player Rankings, Player Profiles, Social Media and probably the most important is the relationships CSK has with major College Football programs.

This has never been more evident than the recent story of Nicolas O’Toole. O’Toole was a virtually unknown Punter at Fullerton JC in Southern California. That all changed in a matter of days after attending the Chris Sailer Kicking National Event last month, where O’Toole performed at a very high level. This performance landed him a Top 12 ranking by Chris Sailer. Major College Football programs wait for this covenant list to come out after every one of CSK’s National Events to see who is ranked where and which players are still available. O’Toole was snatched up immediately by West Virginia University and was offered a fullide scholarship as a Punter.  Click Here to read more about O’Toole.

Exposure: the condition of being presented to view or to be made known.

Marsh Commits, Guzman Offered!

February 20, 2013 By

Signing date had passed.  Kickers, Punters, and Long Snappers alike believed that all scholarships were now given and accepted.  But like Chris Rubio and I always say, the fun is about to begin.  This past week 2 more Chris Sailer Kicking Kicker / Punters received full scholarships offers from big time programs.  Congratulations to Nick Marsh and Ruben Guzman.

Nick Marsh
IMG_2985
Marsh is a transfer from Utah.  We began training Nick as a sophomore in high school.  He called me in December 2012 and asked for help.  I told him to get to Vegas and the rest should take care of itself.  He was a man amongst boys in Vegas, totally dominating in all aspects of the game.  His reward…. a full scholarship to Rutgers signed just this last weekend.

Ruben Guzman
IMG_2875
Guzman is a JC punter from Riverside.  Ruben has come a long way in the past couple of years.  At 5’9″, he wasn’t the ideal choice for college coaches.  I asked him to remain patient and to continue to work harder than every.  Ruben did just that.  He trained weekly with Aaron Perez and came to every camp and small group session.  Then finally, he dominated Vegas.  His reward…. a full scholarship offer from Wyoming earlier this week.

This is just 2 examples of the many Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping Kickers, Punters, and Long Snappers that have signed these past few weeks.  The good news is, there are MANY more to come.  Make sure to read SIGNING DATE HAS PASSED, WHAT NOW? for more advice, and you just might be the next to sign a scholarship.  There is a college football program (800+) and degree out there for every one of you.  Time to make it happen!

Chris Sailer Kicking Punter Nicholas O’Toole commits to West Virginia

February 5, 2013 By

The exposure that Chris Sailer Kicking gives to its players has never been more evident in the recent success story of Fullerton JC Punter Nicholas O’Toole.  A virtual unknown on the recruiting scene after his first year at Fullerton Junior College, O’Toole planned on returning to the school for his sophomore season. Those plans changed after the Chris Sailer Kicking National Event last month in Las Vegas.

After an impressive showing at the Event, O’Toole was named to the “Top 12” coming out of the camp and opened many eyes at the D1 level. The 6’4” 215 pound O’Toole possesses the ideal size and strength to thrive at the next level and into the NFL.

Chris Sailer Kicking introduced O’Toole to the staff at West Virginia University and to say they were impressed is an understatement, in fact they were so impressed they offered O’Toole a full scholarship. O’Toole will sign his letter of intent to play for the Mountaineers on National Signing Day February 6th 2013.

This is true example of the power of exposure and relationships in the world of Kicking and Punting and Chris Sailer Kicking has both. O’Toole no doubt has the skills and talent to warrant a D1 Scholarship, but he needed the added exposure and CSK gave it to him. Chris Sailer Kicking couldn’t be more excited and proud of the future that awaits Nicholas O’Toole at West Virginia.

Look for O’Toole to star for the Mountaineers in the coming years.

O'Toole
