Kids will play how they are taught. The generation of youth football coaches were raised on the "blow'em up" NFL, so in turn many are not a fan of the form tackling. They see it as "soft" With all the concussion prevention info out there, Coaches and fans still get excited about the big hit. My way of fixing the issue is start fining and/or suspending coaches for multiple team offenders. It's a personal choice, for the coaches and player. In my opinion....Thanks for your time......Love the show!

Kids/players now are being taught at age 11 how to practice tackling properly, and not to target.
Way more collisions/headers that end in concussion in soccer.

No way! It would be just like when USA Hockey took checking out of 12u and moved it to 14u. So many injuries because the players develope at different times. The size difference makes it tough for those who haven't grown yet. Plus those second year 14u's will kill the incoming 12u players the first month of the season causing some nasty injuries.
