Will you promise to not head the ball in soccer?

You sore brain will not tolerate heading a soccer ball, even when the ball is not going fast. The research shows that soccer players who routinely head the ball have a 10% lower IQ score. It also shows that a header drill with multiple light headers is more damaging that the occasional corner kick header to the goal.

Please, promise to not head the ball.
