Soccer Focus
Good neck strength is important for the skill of heading as well as for protecting the head during inevitable collisions. Despite this, surprisingly few coaches include neck strengthening in their training programs. Much of the power for heading comes from the trunk, while part of the finer touch comes from the neck’s action on the head to send the ball in the desired direction. Mostly flexion is used, but rotation, which is a more complex skill, is also possible. And one cannot discount the role of a strong neck in stabilizing the head so that head acceleration during collisions is minimized.
