Please help i have a game tomorrow!?

Question

Ok, im a Flanker and a CB. Im 5'8' and 130 lbs. I dont start either, cause all the sophomores pretty much start, but anyway. I always get ran over. Always. I can never pancake anyone. I am one of the smallest kids. Im fast and have good hands. I just dont have the hitting power. I know your gonna say work on legs but im doing that. I just need some advice for tomorrow. I dont wanna get trucked and disapoint the team. So, any tips besides stay low, i try, but i dont ever think about it when i go for the hit.

Answer 1

Hit low perferaly the legs and remeber to keep your head up dont want a neck injury

Answer 2

The main problem if you get run over is moving your legs. If you go to tackle someone and you make solid contact there a split second freeze where both your momentum's stop. What you want to do is the second you hit is to run your legs as fast as you can to push him back. My coach always says to run through a tackle because the man who is running harder will win.

Answer 3

When you get ready to hit someone, hit them just below the knees. Also you could try to run as fast as you can, don't slowdown and and just run through the person. But try the leg thing, it works and you can take down anyone that way.

DO NOT aim for the thigh. You will blow someones knee out, and you will catch a knee to the head and that is not fun. If you aim below the knee you will not hurt anyone, the body falls forward, the knee bends that way.

Answer 4

when you hit make sure to wrap your arms that way if you get run over you can still pull them down. keep driving with your legs tho the whole time

Answer 5

DO NOT HIT SOMEONE RIGHT BELOW THE KNEE!!!

Just had to get that out, anyway... You gotta try to run through the tackle.

Aim for the thigh, and not head on from a angle so you don't get a knee to your helmet. Use you body weight, you are gonna have to throw your self into it....
