ヘディング

The header in soccer is useful to hit higher balls. It's usually combined with elevation and allows the soccer player to quickly push away high balls. To perform a header you need timing, coordination, balance and jumping skills.

Players can use headers even without jumping: in this case it's called a “bunt”, that is a short pass performed with the head, changing the trajectory fo the ball towards a teammate.
