on 8/30/2007 People, I can,t stress this enough. WRAP. If hes bigger than you hit him low, unlless you are overconfident and dont mind getting ran over. but dont be scared. If he is a managible size put your face mask in his numbers. Also, dont doubt yourself. If you get scared or nervous you are probably less likely to make the tackle.

on 4/16/2007 Wrap, wrap, wrap, the best thing to do is wrap. If the guy is a lot bigger then you, you should probably hit him lower then you would hit your size. But whatever you do remember to wrap.

on 9/18/2006 In high school football face tackling is illegal, and need I say dangerous to perform the tackling technique. The rule book for the National Federation of High Schools says in section 4.3.i that " No player shall...Butt block, face tackle or spear." As defined in section 2.42.2 "...Face tackling is driving the face mask, frontal area or top of the helmet directly into the runner."
There are many different ways to teach tackling safely and legally. One thing they all involve is leading with the shoulder and keeping the head out of the tackle.

on 9/3/2006 One of the biggest reasons players miss tackles is because their afraid they might miss, get hurt, or think they can't do it. So my point is to deliver the blow to the running back before he does to you and not to have any intimidation.

on 8/28/2006 Run full steam at the ball carrier and hit him under the shoulder pads. Give him a stiff shove right as you make contact. Make him wish that he'd never heard of football.
