Much needed video. I'm always afraid to head the ball. Bonus tips helped more. Can you tell me how can I overcome the fear of heading the ball?

[@7mlc]

Happy to help! To overcome, you just need to do the thing you’re afraid of to realise it’s not scary. Just like getting over a fear of heights, the more you put yourself in those situations you become less afraid. So head the ball more and you’ll discover there is nothing to fear.

[@TheRedRaph]

Just be confident, use these steps for correct technique, and you’ll find after you head the ball with confidence (attacking the ball) it doesn’t hurt and there’s nothing to be afraid of.

[@7mlc]

[@danielperezcastillo6733]

i think that getting power and placing header into corners isnt too important, as long as you are at a close enough distance (around the penalty spot) the power from the cross should be enough and if you're on target you will score the majority of the time unless it goes right to the keeper or a defender gets a lucky block.

[@swazlicense1752]

Hey Michael! Great video. This is not a related question to the topic of this video, but recently it’s been not so perfect weather where I live. The field I usually go to is very muddy, and It’s not a very good condition to play on as well. I never want to make excuses to not go out and get touches even what the weather is like outside but the weather hasn’t been as good lately. I’m also 14 so I’m not gonna be able to drive myself to a nice field whenever I want to. So my solution was to train in my garage. When I train in the garage I like to wear my indoor shoes. I’m a outdoor footballer so I often feel like since I am wearing these bulky indoor shoes I’m not gonna get the same feel and touch of the ball when I go back out on a field. So my question is, should I continue to get touches indoors with my indoor shoes or try to go find grass and train with my cleats on? And does it really matter? Thanks!!!

How can I join your club

[@7mlc]

We are mid season right now, so the signing deadline has already passed. Joining a pro indoor team is just like any other professional sport. You’re either scouted, or invited to a tryout (some clubs have open tryouts) then if you perform well at those, you may advance through different stages (preseason, training camp) with the potential of getting signed. Unfortunately I have no control/influence on players getting signed to my club. That’s all the decision of the coaching staff.
