I had the same problem and well the answer I found if find someone who is willing to be tackled by you over and over again. You need to get comfortable with just tackling someone so you run at them and they kinda run at you and you tackle them. so you get use to it at a slower speed then slowly as you get comfortable with it at a slower speed you start to go faster and faster. Now I can tackle anyone on the field cause I have confidence in myself that I can bring someone down and that is really what matters. Last year I wasn't that great at tackling cause I never tackled before playing rugby for my highschool team. So just practice tackling and building muscle is another good thing to do when practicing tackling helps on confidence.

I worked out my whole body I did squats those help if you are going to be a lock like I am and power clean which is another good one for the whole body.
