An overhead kick is a soccer technique where a player strikes the ball while it is in the air, typically above their head. This move is often executed when the ball is crossed or rebounded, allowing the player to make contact without letting it touch the ground. It requires good timing, balance, and coordination. To perform an overhead kick, the player usually jumps or leans back, using their legs to propel themselves into the air. The goal is to connect with the ball using the foot, sending it toward the goal or a teammate. This skillful maneuver can result in spectacular goals and is often celebrated in matches.
