How to tackle more effectively:

As you're approaching the player, it is important to chop your feet and stay on your toes. Get your lead leg forward to give you the weight to go forward, your back leg will give you stability. As you make the hit drive your legs and get your head on the correct side.

The longer you can stay on your feet to drive through, the better. It is important not to make the decision too early and not to hesitate as you want to keep the momentum going forward.
