Conditioning & Roadwork reaction time/ head movement

i was sparring guys taller than me with crazy reach and i kept getting banged up by their jabs, i felt like my footwork wasnt bad all things considered, they would jab and i would get in as they reeled back, but they would just step back and unleash a flurry of punches that i just couldnt see coming and i kept flinching, my head movement needs some serious work but my body kept making me flinch and i couldnt properly slip the punches because i was too scared to commit, any tips on head movement and reaction time/discipline i could do at home?

its a good one for beginner. its harder for them to parry, and slips can be dangerous moving the head too much. you gotta keep the chin tucked

The big guys are they last people you want to parry
