Basic heading step 3

Try to head the ball at the highest point of your jump.

Letting the ball drop will only raise the chances of an opponent beating you in the air.

Head the ball with your forehead, the area directly above your eyebrows.

Be positive as you make contact with the ball, keeping your eyes open.
