How can i get better at football

[Capri-Sun]

Well im good at football

1 problem

i cant header it good to save myself

ive got my first league match on saturday and im [badwordgoeshere] myself.

Any techniques i can do to make my self more confident and make good headers?

[Brody]

just get a football and chuck it at ur noggin and headerin back into ur arms or a selected target

[Capri-Sun]

yes but the ball comes in on an angle if it was from a cross and at a different speed.

also i always have my head down wen i run anyways i can stop this(i look at ball when running with it)

i dont want to make a bad impression on my new team mates

Don't worry about it, everyone will get nervous before there first game...Even professionals.

Just keep practising and you will get better. If its just headers you need working on, just go down to the park or w/e with someone, and get them to throw/kick the the ball to you so you can header it.

its like raining and the games on saturday morning lol

so im totally [badwordhereplz]

lol

and ive got a bad habbit of taking on defenders myself and not looking up. wat can i do to see ppl to pass to?

i had problem heading too, i have near enough mastered the skill now. the key is to keep your eyes on the ball at all times. key to getting better is to go in without any fear, also practise from different angles, defending and attacking headers.

Well if you can't head the ball, then make sure you don't go up for corners etc and you stay back, and shout them to get into space or they will call for the ball and you can play them through.

well, good way to practise headers is to ask your friend to cross the ball to you.
or get them to throw it to your head.
orr, throw the ball against a wall to your head.
if you're worried about that, stay back in mid/def for corners and free kicks.
dont worry, everyone gets nerves.
you'll do fine

[Azul]

you really can't play in a league if you can't head.
