Heading Technique and Aerial Safety
Discipline 6: Technical Fundamentals — Lesson 11 of 12
Lecturer: Callan Bruce
Cumulative low-level contact adds up over a career, not just in one session. This session covers attacking the ball with the forehead, timing the jump from a run-up rather than a standstill, and limiting repeated heading in training, not just matches.
The three rules
1. Attack with the forehead.
2. Time the jump from a run-up.
3. Limit repeated heading in training.
