Every defensive football players crave that hard hit that will be a game changer and give their team momentum in the football game. Hitting hard and becoming a harder tackling football player, you have dedication and a desire for inflicting punishing hits on the offensive player. With training and the right mindset, you can improve your tackling ability and make a name for yourself as a hard hitting football player. Read on to learn tips that will help you hit and tackle harder in football!


How To Hit Harder!
Do you want to become a harder hitting and tackling football player and intimidate offensive players on the other side of the ball? Then the most important aspect of your training program that you need to make a priority is improving your explosiveness. If you are more explosive and generate more power output from your body then you will be able to deliver more devastating and punishing hits and tackles on the football field. Make it a point to perform ply metrics and Olympic lifts like power cleans and hang cleans. These exercises develop the quick twitch fibers will make you a more explosive athlete and help you deliver harder tackles on the football field. The best ply metric exercises to perform are squat jumps and split leg squat jumps. You can find thorough descriptions on how to perform these exercises on www.stack.com

When tackling, always remember to stay low and to drive your feet so that you drive your opponent into the ground with force. When you make contact, explode your hips and body into the defender and deliver the punishing hit on him. This is an important tip to remember. If you stay low and drive your feet upon colliding with the offensive player then you will win and you will end up delivering a powerful tackle. 

Make it a point to strengthen your core muscles. Your core muscles are comprised of your hip flexors, abdominal muscles, and your lower back muscles. These muscles are where athletic movements are facilitating from. If you have strong and powerful core muscles then you will be able to tackle hard and hit harder when on the football field. The best exercises to perform in order to increase your core muscle strength are weighted abdominal exercises like planks, weighted sit ups, and pull ups. Hyperextensions are great exercises for your lower back muscles and will help strengthen these core muscles.

Working on your top end running speed is crucial as well. The faster a football player can sprint in a short area, the more power he will be able to generate in his tackles. Just think. If you are moving faster, then that means your body mass is moving faster and thus you will collide harder with your opponent and possibly cause a fumble with your tackle. 

Make sure when you are in the weight room that you work to increase your lower body power and strength. You must have a strong lower body in order to deliver punishing tackles. Make heavy squats, leg presses, lunges, and power cleans a staple in your program. These exercises all develop power, strength, and explosiveness when performed correctly. Make it a point to explode and move the weight as fast as possible but under control during each repetition on every exercise. This will help you develop the lower body explosiveness you need to hit and tackle harder. 

In conclusion, do you really want to hit harder. Do you want to make game changing tackles and hits like NFL superstars such as Ray Lewis or Troy Polomalu? Then you have to put in the work and dedication in order to train your body to become more powerful and explosive in order to make these punishing tackles. If you work hard in your training program and remain disciplined then you will become a game changing defender and make harder tackles and hits.
