A Professional Instructor at Your Service

Train with instructors that know and truly understand the position.

Xander Echols Long Snapper

xander@xlongsnapping.com

I’ve earned an All American title, Top 12, Top Performer, All County, won multiple events, been named on the All Saban team at multiple Saban Camps etc. I was the 1st to accept a D1 2021 Full Scholarship as a Longsnapper nationally, 1st straight out of High School Full Scholarship Longsnapper in Alabama. It is not an easy task, but I did it and I want to help others reach for that same opportunity. 
I have worked with and learned from many mentors from College, Professional (NFL), and Private instructors/athletes. During my years of training, I traveled out of state for the majority of those lessons/events. So I feel it’s time to provide training opportunities to athletes here in Alabama without having to go elsewhere in the beginning. I myself continue to train with several of my mentors, as the skill of long snapping requires consistent practice if you plan on being at the top of your game. Having said that, I continue to work and partner with other ranking camps. Having actually come up through the process, it has equipped me with the experience to pass on to others as we prepare them for the larger national ranking camps. Our core goals will be flexibility, balance, and form training.  
Another critical goal is to help each athlete understand the mental side of the position both on and off the field as it is a critical piece of long-term success. My mission is to provide each athlete a solid, fundamental foundation as a Long Snapper in order to help them earn an opportunity to reach for their dreams of playing at the next level.

X Long Snapping Instructor

mike@xlongsnapping.com

My training experience started in 1993 as a World Gym owner. During that time, I completed certifications in (NASM) National Academy of Sports Medicine, (ACE) American Council on Exercise, (IFBB) International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness. This allowed me to work with and train many professional athletes, in many different sports. My passion has always revolved around helping people reach their goals either personally or professionally. I started focusing on Long Snapping in 2012 while training my son. In 2016 we made the decision to start training more athletes in the skill of Long Snapping after being approached by the younger brother of a player that wanted to learn how to Long Snap. That player is now one of our top FBS D1 Long Snappers. And now we train Long Snappers in several Middle Schools, multiple High Schools and several college Long Snappers in multiple states around Alabama.
