We also had at my high school . So I was able to train with the top tier quality of um equipment to be able to help me get stronger in the weight room faster on the field . Uh Also just kind of putting in the extra work by yourself .
Um , along with uh Rubio , he is a long snapping coach that has helped me out , uh be able to get to where I'm at here at Colorado . Some of the advantages that I I had when I was training , II , I went to a high school that was blessed enough to have a very high , high level weight room . So we had the racks that we have actually at the University of Colorado .
I am a long snapper at the University of Colorado , um and I play on the football team here growing up , I've had a lot of different mentors in my , my career , uh whether it be my previous position at center or my current position at long snapping . Um My previous position at center , there's been a lot of coaches uh that helped me get to this point and be able to realize that , hey , this is something that you're good at and you should be able to really take under that wing and , and go forward with it , whether it was body composition to weightlifting in the weight room , uh or being able to get that exposure . Um , along with uh Rubio , he is a long snapping coach that has helped me out , uh be able to get to where I'm at here at Colorado .
Ok over the course of the season , you only scrip once and that's , that's basically minimalizing anything that you can do because we don't have 6070 plays over a course of a game to , to be able to make up for that one play that we miss like it's , you gotta do it now and that it all starts in practice and all starts doing those little things right on your own when everybody's not watching because specialists , you , you only have so many opportunities . One thing that I noticed that helped me get a little bit further in my career um and just put that little step up above anybody else that was there is I focus on the details . So I wasn't necessarily always the biggest or the fastest , but I knew what I could do good and I knew what I was the best at and I really dove into those , those factors , whether it be footwork or whether it be the smallest details of hand placement .
Um , compared to when I was in high school and playing a different position . So that was a transition in , in itself to be able to get used to understanding and how to mentally go through the game and be able to understand like , hey , this is what you need to do to prepare and be able to stay locked into the , the whole course of the game . Um Besides that fact , there's a lot of other things that you have to understand of , hey , your job is just as important as it is as a wide receiver that's catching the touchdown or anything like that because you're still putting up points on the board or you're playing defense , um , by pinning them inside the , the 20 yard line or the five yard line , whatever you can on punt because that's the way that you're gonna be able to help them out .
