Video Transcript

"My name is Alex. This is Andy. We’re from Missoula All-Maggots. Web site is www.maggots.org. Now, we’re going to learn how to do the proper tackle technique. What you need to do in order to tackle correctly. The first thing you need to do is get low; always get low. There’s really no substitute for that. Anything else, if you’re high you have no control. If I try to tackle from here, he can shed me like it’s nothing. If I get low then I want to try to tackle his hips; he can’t go anywhere. So when he’s coming into me I’m going to get low. First of all, I’m going to want to keep my head to the outside. If I bring my head across his body like this - knee to the face. If you just put your neck out there, bad decision, bad situation to be in. So you want to be here, keep your head in the outside, step into him, wrap him up, very important. Wrap him up and then drive through, just like that. "
