I used to be completely on form with my tackling but I came back from an injury s few months ago and haven't been able to keep it up. When I say "on form" I mean I was injuring players every match and playing many matches where I hadn't missed a single tackle. I was just wondering if anyone had any drills for tackling. I have no problem witch technique tackling the big lads but it's the side steppers I'm having problems with. I'd like drills that make my feet quick and improve my reactions.I used to be completely on form with my tackling but I came back from an injury s few months ago and haven't been able to keep it up.

getting mental reps always helps me. think about what you have to do to make a tackle and you will find yourself doing it in a game. you probably dont have any problems physically tackling but just need to get that mindset back. if i were you i would just ask a teammate before or after practice to practice running at you and sidestepping so you can practice getting your shoulder on him also i assume you were injuring players because you were hitting them so hard, not tackling illegally.
