If heading the ball hurts or makes you dizzy, it’s not because you’re “bad at headers.” It’s because you’re letting the ball hit you. Here’s the fix: Stop being the wall. Be the hammer. Attack the ball using your core, legs, and neck. Drive your forehead through it — right at the hairline. And yes, this matters more than anything else: keep your eyes open. That’s what gives you timing, accuracy, and confidence. Closed eyes = mistimed jumps, bad contact, and unnecessary pain. Open eyes = control. Head the ball with intention. You’ve got this. #SoccerSchool #AshleyHatch #SoccerTips #YouthSoccer #SoccerTraining #MidfielderTips #WomenInSports #SoccerConfidence
