Heading in soccer is when a player using their head to move the ball in the direction they want the ball to go, rather than using their feet. To avoid the ball going in the wrong direction or hitting you somewhere other than your head, the eyes must be kept open and hit the ball with your head before the ball hits you.

Heading is a term used for when the ball is in the air and a player hits the ball with the top front part of their head, causing the ball to fly in a different direction. Players usually use their forehead to most effectively head the ball, also, using the forehead hurts less.
