Run North & South to Avoid Football Tackle

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. What we want to talk about now is how to avoid being tackled. Now, that's easier said than done. But, one thing you can do is, obviously, just try to avoid the contact as much as possible. However, the main thing you always want to remember when you're running the ball is go north and south, up and down the field not side to side on the field (video demo). If this man is coming up, he can try to avoid the tackle by trying to out run him to the outside but we don't want him to go so far to the outside that he's running to the sideline. All this guy's going to do is continue to pursue him to the outside and make him run out of bounds. Now we have no gain. If he had just run up the field we would have gotten a good gain. So, you can run up the field and try to avoid being tackled but we want you to go north and south, not east and west and run us out of a play. Make sure you always remember that when you're trying to avoid the tackle.
