How do I improve my tackling in football?
Farce asked:
I don’t play team football, just football with friends. So that means no pads and such. I started workin out a while back, but I’m not big yet. Since I’m decently tall, and accurate, I generally play quarterback or reciever. I’m a good corner, but if someone catches it, I have trouble tackling that person down. Sometimes it’s hard to pull them down, and it’s even more difficult if the person isn’t wearing a shirt since they are so slippery.

Easy, try to dive at their knees, or hug them at belt level and bring them down.

The runner goes down use your head.
The runner goes down use your hands and shoulders not your feet moving until the runner goes down use your hands and keep your head.
