Damn you and your edited post innit.

No one is asking players to head the ball. They do it voluntarily.

Agreed. As a high school coach I also think the estimated number of headers is way off.

Young players don't want to seem like pussies, so they estimate high, but i expect many more would try and take a high ball down with their foot or chest, rather than their head - just general self preservation - going up for a 50/50 header, you're in more danger of nutting another head than by getting brain damage from the ball.

So dumb. With all the corruption, play acting and general culture of loop-holery that is consuming FIFA and their laws, in the list of their concerns, this will be somewhere near the bottom.
