tackle technique??
Question
Hello Coach
I'm a 6 feet 205lb middle line backer I was a starting lineman for my freshman and sophomore year..but due to my smaller size I have to step down line and play MLB This year and I absolutely love this position..because of my line experience I could easily read the keys and get to the ball carrier but I often mistackles him..what should I do to make myself a better tackler??
Answer
Hello Ty,
I would say, make sure you are getting under the ball carriers pads, make sure you are seeing the target, wrap up and drive through the carrier. I would really need to see a video to tell you what you could be possibly doing wrong. But off the top of my head, those are the first things that come to mind.
Good Luck,
Coach Anderson
