Step One: Get behind the flight of the ball. The player’s eyes should be fixed on the flight of the ball.
On the approach to the ball, the player must slightly arch the back and tighten the neck muscles.
Step Two: Immediately on making contact with the ball, the player should quickly swing the upper body and make contact on the ball with the center of the forehead. Further power can be achieved by pulling the arms back when making contact with the ball. Contact should be made above the horizontal mid-line of the ball. This will direct the ball downwards.
Step Three: When heading for goal, the ball should be headed down towards the goal line. The timing of the run must be late, fast and aggressive.
