SHOULD HEADING FOOTBALL BE ALLOWED UNDER THE AGE OF 14?
Nowadays, football is very popular and is loved by the majority of children. But only some people know the injures that football can make in their head.
On the one hand, people are not aware of this problem and they should be informed. The parents who want their children to become football players, join their children to academies and their children raise up training every single day. Moreover, to be a football player, you have to start playing it in a early age to have oportunities in the future. Also, football players start playing in teams at the age of 18 and the most of them finish playing it at the age of 35.
On the other hand, people have to know the damage that football can make to your brain. In football, heading the ball is important and the fans enjoy it, but it is really bad for the players, specially for the young ones. Heading the ball cause terrible things such as problems with their memory, suffer the post-concussions syndrome, that may cause emotional problems, and more. For that reason, doctors don't recomed to grow up heading a ball and suggest to start heading it until the age of 14.
In short, even thought if you want to be a football player should start training at a young age, I think that they must leave out heading balls until the age of 14. It's difficult because a football player head a ball thousands of times in his career but I believe that the health of the player is more important than the game.
