Justin Morneau great baseball player for Minnesota took a pitch to the helmet and it essentially ended his career. Apparently he had a few other concussions from youth hockey.
My son doesn’t like heading the ball and I have no problem with it.
I never liked to head the ball as a kid, and it would piss off my coach. I would tell him it hurt and he would basically tell me to get over it. In hindsight, I’m grateful for my instincts. Like if it’s hurting me, it can’t possibly be good for my brain, especially at a young age.

Concussions are nothing to take lightly.
