The attacking header techniques are much different than the defensive header techniques. When defending, the purpose of headers is to clear the ball UP and AWAY from an opponent heading the ball from the defensive situation and clear the ball from opponents.
Heading a ball high gives other defenders time to reorganize defensively; heading the ball far denies an immediate threat on goal as does heading the ball wide. However, when attacking, the focus is on heading the ball downward towards the goal line to score a goal. We want players to head the ball down towards the goal line because this is the most difficult spot for goalkeepers to defend. To direct the ball upward players should get their forehead and eyes under the ball and more upward through the ball as soon as contact is made with the ball.

The reason why you head upwards is so you buy time and allow your defence to get ready and perhaps even engage in another aerial duel. If you head it downwards, it may go to the feet of your opposition and you will have committed a great injustice to your team.
So remember, for defensive headers, head the ball upwards and away from goal. Offensive headers.
