That is the most important thing
also make sure that you bring your head back and bring itthrough the ball in the direction that you want to head it.
For more power, get your whole body into it, not just your neck .. it takes a lot of coordination (I don't have perfect form by any means, but my friend is a great header) , but its a huge help if you can get your abs and lower body into it well. Just practice .. you'll get better at finding the "sweet spot" and hitting it where you want. For shots, just make sure your coming at it if you can and hit it around the middle or higher .. I see lots of guys lean away and it it from the bottom and they end up sending it over the crossbar.
