As a mom, there was never a game that I didn’t say a prayer for my son’s safety on the field. As we know, accidents happen and they can happen anytime. There were instances that he was hit in the face by the ball or hit by an opponent on the head, but nothing major, thankfully. But as he continues to play the sport, I can only hope for the best – no injuries at all.
Concussions are one of the most common head injuries in soccer so when we were offered to try the Storelli ExoShield Head Guard, the new soccer brand, there were no second thoughts. The head guard is without a doubt a must for soccer players. It is made to protect and prevent head injuries.
Storelli shares information about head injuries and you can learn about all of them on this link here. Storelli is dealing with the issues concerning head injuries seriously by creating the best head guard there is for soccer.
It can be scary to think of what these head injuries could turn into. Some could only be minor injuries, but some could be major injuries. As of late, professional football has been dealing with concussions leading to the condition of chronic traumatic encephalopathy which has led to player suicides and other debilitating symptoms after retirement from the game, including memory loss, depression and dementia. And as the famous cliche’ says, prevention is better than cure.
I’m more than amazed of how quality made the Storelli ExoShield Head Guard is. It is military grade and it will keep kids safe on the field.

I love that idea! Soccer is a lot more dangerous for a head than people realize. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen players collide. Even just hitting the ball with your head puts strain on it.
Paula Schuck says
That is a fantastic idea! All athletes should have more access to protective headgear. I can see something like this being used for basketball, as well.
Vera Sweeney says
This looks like great protection for heads while playing soccer!!! I have never seen this before, I know I worry about head injuries when they play soccer.

Eloise says
I played high competitive soccer and head injuries ARE common as well as many other injuries (major contact sport!) I wish we would have had these headbands for safety during my years of playing! at least they’re thinking of it now : )

This sounds like a great product to help protect against head injuries. I was always scared of this when I did a head ball. I am thankful that I never got a concussion when I used to pay soccer.

Sports can be a scary thing for your kids when it comes to head injuries. I love how this is unobstrusive, yet still protects.

This is nice. I know many parents who refuse to allow their kids to play sports because they’re so afraid of the injuries. -yolonda
Nile says
This is a great idea, but I probably balk at it because I was a rough and tumble tomboy who played sports, including soccer.
Gabriel says
Looks like a good added layer of protection. I coached our son for a year and they do a really good job with teaching coaches what to look for also.
aziel morte says
