One word: training
There also is some technique to it. Fix your eyes to one point and stay there, then quickly move your head and fix another point. Don’t get into the “movie mode” where the whole world gets blurry.
I am not a figure skater but a dancer, so I get my fair share of spinning too. When I first started I couldn’t do some figures that involved a lot of rotations.
