Step #4: Head Up
While you're doing Steps 1-3, make sure that you’re keeping your head back and up, and your eyes up as well.
Your neck will be back slightly, but not perfectly straight up and down.
This allows you to maintain good sight of the field and also keep your head and neck in a safe position as you make a tackle.
This is perhaps the biggest key to tackling properly.
If your head is down, it puts you in an extremely vulnerable position.
Not only does it make it easy for defenders to evade your tackle; it also puts you at extreme risk for very serious head and neck injuries.
