Just a quick tip: I think there was a little too much camera movement in this one. To me it was distracting from the content and didn't really add anything to the video. Great video nevertheless!

[@vitalflip9922]

Man I hope you’re still answering comments cuz I’m an 8th grade football player that’s sick and tired of being thrown around and trucked everywhere. I need help on not getting bulldozed every time I try to block someone

This is spot on. Currently i play run support linebacker and the best tip I've ever gotten was to not wait to get hit, go out and get them. Playing defense doesn't mean not attacking

[@johnhascack]

Hey bro I think the biggest misconception is that the more you lift the better you'll be on the field. Not saying lifting a large amount of weight, isnt good but it is more primarily your explosiveness. If your max in bench press is 225, do 175 to 185 as fast, but in perfect form. Explosiveness is what will give you the real edge. 💯👌💪

I’m a MLB/RB in HS, and when I hit/truck I set my eyes ahead of the person and towards my goal, so as to anticipate how far I need to go.

[@rastarich8835]

You explained this perfectly. Hope I can translate this to my game. I definitely feel the hesitation. Running through someone is another thing as I come to slow up or stop at the point of contact to maybe brace myself.

[@aconfusedshoe6240]

You know what's crazy I was about to ask you to make a video on this.....but like always Chris knows what we need to be better so he always a couple steps ahead! Many thanks to you Chris you've transformed me from a regular athlete to fastest linebacker to the point where im outrunning our receivers and running backs. Thank u chris!

[@nxlerz9698]

I feel like tackling hard comes from the "heart". During 8th grade I was 5 10 and 140lbs I ran 100m in 11.2, I can rep 45s, but I notice that your mentality and mindset play a larger role. I would listen to Pantera before games and thats always got me fired up.

I just need to figure out how to hit harder this season. I’m like 5’7” - 5’8” but I play on the o-line and d-line (my school/division is pretty small so we don’t have a lot of options). I like to think I’m a pretty decent blocker and have good technique but if my coach is being serious about maybe moving me to linebacker this season, then I need to be hitting a lot harder and soon.

[@Stewie-zg8nv]

I take the tip of not waiting to get hit but sometimes I need to shuffle my feet so I don't get juked. what do I do.

Take a couple steps back then as they coming up fire off on them

Look at their chest and aim there

It’s honestly about heart and courage. You have to be an absolute madman and go Crush someone.

[@stevenyerry2209]

Energy transfers more efficiently through a ridged object and less efficiently through a loose or unridged because when you hit a ridged object there’s no crumple so the force is transferred immediately and when you hit a loose object (or in the case skin and muscle) it bends and Maluates slowing down the speed of force and limiting peak force in an area

[@iplaygames8402]

I haven’t watched the vid but what I know to help is me big and run fast cause I’ve been hit by big linemen but this speedy receiver hit me and I thought I was gonna die so a mixture of both will help and you’ve gotta have desire and make sure you wrap up and don’t give a fuck about getting injured don’t wait for them to hit you go and attack them

[@cone3556]

As a defensive linemen you should just be fast of the ball, and get angry and pop the person and then get to the qb and get low and wrap and hit hard.

To hit harder Always keep your head up. ... Hit the player on the thigh pad with your helmet across the body. ... Keep your back straight. ... Wrap BOTH arms around the player, preferably around their legs. ... Pull the player sharply towards you with your arms. ... Lift and drive.

So when you hit do you want to be loose or like braced to hit them? When I hit with my left shoulder the other day on a certain drill (non dominant) my arm got like a zing through it, and that happened twice when I hit with my left shoulder that day on that drill. The next day I hit with it on the same drill and I didn’t get the zing, why might that be?
