I'm supposed to play football this summer because I made the highschool team. But i'm afraid to tackle anyone if I don't have pads on. Does this mean i'm not cut out for it?
We tackle without pads on 2-a-days and 7-on-7 to get tougher and used to the impact, but we only do that every other friday.
 
Not really. Different people play good in pads or with out pads. I'm better w/out pads. You shouldn't really be afraid though, it doesn't hurt or anything. Plus footballs the best thing in the world so you have to play it.
 
course not! that's definitely a fear you need to get over though because the coach isn't going to like seeing a guy easing up on a tackle cuz he doesn't have pads (which i doubt he's going to make you tackle anyone without pads in the first place though...)
good luck and just don't be afraid if you do the technique right you won't get hurt.
