Do certain activities affect my Rugby Tackling?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
So, I'm a 14 year old Rugby Player who loves to tackle, ever since I was 9, people have commented on how good my tackling has been, smashing down forwards twice the size of me and I love rough and tumble, but I have a school Rugby match tomorrow, and I've decided to start drawing Pokemon as a hobby, because it's fun to play and draw and I have weird good luck charms such as Tanks or thinking about sport. It doesn't affect my Taekwondo performance at all (1st Degree Black Belt) or my Discus Throwing performance, but I feel like that it'll destroy my Rugby Tackling. Help? I do have a tackle bag I use.So, I'm a 14 year old Rugby Player who loves to tackle, ever since I was 9, people have commented on how good my tackling has been, smashing down forwards twice the size of me and I love rough and tumble, but I have a school Rugby match tomorrow, and I've decided to start drawing Pokemon as a hobby, because it's fun to play and draw and I have weird good luck charms such as Tanks or thinking about sport.

why on earth would drawing affect your rugby? as long as it doesn't detract too much from your practice time

It very well could but I don't think so. I played rugby and (american) football. In the spring I played for a rugby club and would do off-season workouts with my football team. We did workouts that changed your posture. In (american) football you are taught to tackle with you chest, in rugby you are taught to tackle with your shoulders. I had developed a natural posture to do dead-lifts and keep my chest up. This made it harder to tackle with my shoulders in rugby.
