[quote=Anonymous]I believe the frequency of heading the ball (and frequency of concussions) is dependent on the type, skill and size of player. Players with the size and skills of Abby Wambach (or Ronaldo) heads the ball much more frequently compared to Mia Hamm (or Messi). For US women soccer today, I see Alex Morgan heads the ball during corner kicks much more often compared to Mallory Pugh. She’s 5’7” compared to Mallory’s height of 5’4”. Hence, if your DD is the type of player that plays like Abby, it would be beneficial to use head gears to reduce her chance of concussions. If today’s NFL players still use leather helmets from the 1920s, they won’t have concussions......they will die. [/quote]
