Why Head Protection in Soccer Is No Longer Optional
Whether it's a header, a clash of heads, or an accidental elbow — soccer players routinely absorb blows to the skull. While each may seem minor, they add up over time.
⚠️ According to research published in The Lancet Public Health, footballers are 62% more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than the general population due to repeated head trauma.
Even 10 headers in a single training session have been shown to reduce short-term cognitive function, memory and focus — especially in youth players whose brains are still developing.
