Skill of the Week: Tackle Like a Pro

Illustration titled "Tackle Like a Pro" showcases the Skill of the Week with six steps on tackling techniques in football. Emphasizing mental readiness, hip focus, strength, and safety, it features illustrations for each step to enhance your game.

An important part of manhood has always been about having the competence to be effective in the world — having the breadth of skills, the savoir-faire, to handle any situation you find yourself in. With that in mind, each Sunday we’ll be republishing one of the illustrated guides from our archives, so you can hone your manly know-how week by week.

You may have reached a stage of life where pick-up football games are of the “touch” rather than tackle variety. But if you’re engaging in the full contact of the gritty gridiron, you’ll want to learn how to tackle like a pro. To help you with your D-Fence!, we put together this illustrated guide with advice from NFL player Mychal Kendricks. Follow the tips above to bring down your opponents safely and effectively.
