     How To Form Tackle

   This shows how to properly hit to deliver bigger blows while reducing injuries. Bad technique makes injuries more likely to occur. In football, coaches are religious towards good form, knowing the importance of the art of tackling.

-Keep head up
    This prevents injuries to you and the other player. Leading with your head down could result in concussion.Also, tackling with your head up decreases chances of being juked. Running in with your head down is like swinging at a baseball blindfolded.

-"Same foot same shoulder"
    Depending on what way your are tackling, you need to time the hit. If you are making contact with your right shoulder, you want the last step to be off your right foot. This gives you more leverage, making the blow more in your favor. In the pic shown to the right, the athlete in white has his right shoulder making the contact as he is pushing off his right leg. (Same foot, Same shoulder).

-Hit with your head in front
     Lowering your shoulder and wrapping up is by far more solid when having your head in front. Having your head behind the other player results in missed tackles, sloppy arm tackles, and "whiffs". The K.O. hits you see in NCAA and NFL come from hitting like this. Football is a game of physics, and following these steps gives you one step up from the others.
