There are not enough headers to be a problem if the players are trained properly. Also, concussion information is now widely available, heading is now delayed until the kids get older. The soccer concussions I have seen were almost all from an out of control player hitting another player going for the ball. Especially in high school or at weaker events.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
There's always going to be concussion risks with soccer, but it's not nearly the same level as football. There's also much better education and treatment now vs when these players played football. Professionally however I have seen multiple soccer players go back in after having their bell rung. That needs to end for their long term brain health and to send the right message to younger playersComment
