 In this video, I'll show you how to improve your soccer heading technique. If you can learn to become dominant in the air, it will give you a massive advantage over your opponents, both offensively and defensively. So if you're the type of player who likes to be good at everything, this video is for you. If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success. Earned a college scholarship, played for my national football team, a YouTube channel with over 100 million views. I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. Focus on the ball until it meets your head. Make contact with your forehead, not the top of your head and definitely not on your nose. You want the ball to come flush off the center of your forehead. To produce power, you need to engage your whole body. An athletic stance and slight bend in your knees will allow you to have more balance and generate power, but the real power comes from using your total upper body. Bend your body back and then forward through the ball. You are not just using your head and neck muscles to create power. You are using your whole upper body, snapping back and forward through the ball. To produce accuracy, you need to guide the ball with your follow-through. Push the ball towards your target with your head and upper body. This is another reason it's so important to keep your eyes open when performing headers. Jumping headers follow the same principles. Keep your eyes on the ball, make contact with your forehead, snap your body back and through the ball. Push the ball towards your target with your follow-through. Jumping headers are all about timing. You want to attack the ball and meet it at your highest point. If your timing is off, you'll either catch the ball too low or too high and you won't be able to direct the ball where you want it to go. Focus on your footwork. You want to be moving towards the ball rather than jumping from a standstill. If you need to take one or two steps back, then a few quick steps forward as you leap in the air and attack the ball. Learning to read the flight of the ball takes practice, but after a while you will understand when to start your jump. Just think about attacking the ball rather than letting it come to you and jumping forward, if possible, meeting the ball in the air at your highest point. If you're performing a defensive header, especially in your own defensive third, you just want to think about getting that ball as far and as wide as possible. You don't want to clear it into the center of the field, if possible. You want to get it wide. If you can hit a teammate, that's great, but really you're trying to clear your lines. Get distance on the ball, get height on the ball and make sure that you get it out of trouble so your team can get out the field. So if he's throwing me the ball, again, throw it a little lower please. If you like this content, check out the Soccer Success Planner. You can download it for free.
