As you were reading the last article, you were probably trying to think of other possible ways to prevent concussions. Well, another guideline that would be helpful is that children thirteen and older may do/practice headers but only with the proper training of how to do one correctly. Using the proper heading technique would be a key aspect if playing in a competitive league, so knowing how to do it properly is also key and safe. Wondering why?
Newton's third law of motion states that every action force has a reaction force equal in strength but opposite in direction. This law is very important to my new "law". My second guideline shows what the consequences are if a player heads the ball incorrectly. It all starts out with any age hitting the ball with the wrong part of the skull. Here's where Newton's third law comes in.

The video explains how to do a proper header. The instructor also mentions how to make your header powerful. As he shows you in the video, you have to keep your arms out for power. The key part is when he shows you what is right and what's wrong (heading the ball with your forehead is correct). Doing an incorrect header multiple times can lead to a wide variety of concussion symptoms and concussions themselves. If you put yourself in contact with another object, you want to be prepared for it (unless the object was suddenly forced). As Newton's third law of motion explains, the ball hit your head with the same amount of force your head hit the ball with (obviously in the opposite direction). It would definitely hurt having a soccer ball that is accelerating at a speed of fifty miles per hour to hit your skull on the wrong part. Learning the proper heading technique could prevent head injuries.
