How can i make harder tackles in football?

Question

i am a soft more in high school and am currently in the jv team. i want to play varsity but it pretty much comes down to size, I'm about 5'10'' and like 135. so I'm really not that big, i play safety/connor back, and I'm a pretty good tackler but i want to get better to make it on varsity. i have the technique down for tackling but can only make hard hits on kids my size. Does anyone know any exercises i can try to make me a more powerful hitter, like, workout routines?

Answer 1

Workout in the gym a lot harder, but don't expect to see results until next year, but by that time, you should be on Varsity already because if you're not then you're just a bum.

Answer 2

you're a soft more?  what the h**l is that?  a conner back?  you need to learn to spell before you worry about tackling

Answer 3

If you already understand the technique, and size is the central issue, you must hit LOWER to increase your impact.  

Answer 4

Bench, Squat, and Power Clean.

One day do 5 sets of 5 reps

Another Day do 3 sets of 3

Another do three sets. 5 reps, 3 reps, 1 rep

Another Day do three sets. 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps.

And another day do three sets of ten.

(only do the same lift every other day. Don't ever do the same lift two days in a row)
