 Post subject: tackle with confidence
PostPosted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 4:33 pm 
Hello,

How can I improve my confidence when taking the ball in and tackling? I am rather short and only 12 stone (playing hooker).

Regards,

Barutu

Hello,

Perhaps getting protective gear will give you some confidence as will doing weight training. But most of all confidence comes from practise. Describe all the little steps that make up a tackle actions and work on these individual elements. Work with your coach on those bits that needs practise.

Also I suggest you look at making some new goals when training or playing. One might be trying to tackling lower and lower. See how really low you can tackle. Aim for the highest tackle count in a game etc. Reaching your goals will give you confidence and make you enjoy the game even if you win or lose.

Good luck,
W.
