Shielding and Tackling

Often time’s players injuries occur during challenges in a game which are a result of not knowing how to properly tackle or shield a ball. People think that only big players can hold off opponents but it is up to each individual player to understand what works best for them. A smaller player is more agile and should therefore use moves and movement to protect the ball.
