New research is calling attention to one of the risks of soccer, heading the ball, which studies find may be linked to brain problems later in life.
The research was done on professional male athletes, but can guide how athletes at all levels approach the sport, Dr. Joel Salinas, an assistant professor of neurology at NYU Langone and chief medical officer of, an online memory clinic, told ABC News. It may be especially important for children, he says. "If you have a child, especially a child whose brain is still in the early developing phases, maybe hold off on how often you head the ball.
"I think information like this is increasingly valuable for players and their parents," says Dr. Leah Croll, an assistant professor of neurology at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University.
