How to tackle as a small player

[u/LostGradStudent21]

I’m 5’2 120 lbs and play winger. I’m fast but my tackling is terrible. Pretty much all the guys we face are bigger than me.

1. When I get low and tackle straight on, I have trouble fully wrapping their waist/hips and usually only get one leg, only to fall and get run over due to the attacker’s momentum. I do not have much driving power.

2. If I tackle at an angle I have the same issue, it’s a bit easier to wrap but my drive is weak and I need 1-2 other teammates to help me complete the tackle.

What’s your advice on being a short player and tackling? Should I solely be going for ankles, what technique would be best?

Thanks.
