We are just starting to make steps in the neurlogical field. Your brain is very delicate and fascinating. We still really know very little about it. We know very little about neurological disorders. Do some research on Neurological disorders. Take Epilepsy for example: the number of people with epilepsy will surprise you. Over 50% of the people with epilepsy have no cause for their disorder. Neurologists look for anything in your family history or any head injuries. Is there much difference between 1 big head blow or thousands of little to medium ones. Why take that chance. Show your coaches the information you get from you detailed research. Talk to the Epilespsy Foundation of America. Epilepsy alone is a good reason to wear headgear. Take a look at Mohamid Ali. His brain took some repeated blows. (are those blows lighter than a soccer ball off the foot of a 12 -14yr old)The generation that started doing headers on a daily basis are not old enough yet to see the effectson their health. Wait until they are retirement age.
