The Tackle From Behind
Uses:
It's the second half, and their outside wing just got a break away. He's barreling down the field, a few seconds away from tying up the game between his team and your team.
Luckily, it's just you and him.
You've tracked him down from across the field, and there is no way he is scoring on you. You're running at a break-neck pace now, and closing in. He's right in front of you.
Either way, this is going to be a game changing play. Make the tackle, and show your teammates your dedication and athletic prowess. Miss, and grab a face-full of cleat and dirt as the other team scores.
Now or never.
How to:
Step 1
Close in on your target. Try to get within range of the ball carrier's thighs. This is hard to gauge at first, but with experience it will only get easier.
Step 2:
Keeping you feet on the ground, put your shoulder on the back of the ball carrier's thighs. Make sure your head is on one side of their legs, so as to prevent injury. This is similar to the good body position already discussed.
