Skull-struck soccer shots

Headers are elements that appear at the top of something, whether a document, a webpage, a data packet, or an email.

In word processing and printing, a header is text that repeats at the top of each page, often containing titles, dates, or page numbers.

In web design and programming, headers contain metadata or navigation elements.

In sports like soccer, a header is when a player strikes the ball with their head.
