As we know, sports and injuries go hand in hand. At the same time, some injuries can be easily avoided if you know how.
Here, we cover how to tackle safely from the left, keeping in mind past major tournaments and the 2026 FIH World Cup.
In this slide, an Australian player was injured while tackling a Belgian player during a 2026 FIH World Cup match.
I hate to see a player getting injured. And who is responsible?
You may like it or not. It is us coaches. Due to our ignorance, our innocent players get badly injured. There is no excuse for this to happen.
My Request:
Please read the attached article and view the educational video.
Kindly share it with your fellow coaches, clubs, and provincial/state associations. Only if you believe that this technique of tackling from the left will not only serve the purpose but also bring the injury rates to a minimum level.
Here is the video link. Please copy, paste, and view.
