Software success is different for the medium you are in B2B or B2C and then also the market. Chat market is pretty crowded so you're going for quantity.
If I have a B2B tool and it's fairly niche I might only need 100-200 clients but I charge them more :)
In the US, Youth (11 and under) soccer leagues have already banned heading the ball. In those leagues, it's the same as hitting the ball with your hand.
I suspect restrictions on older kids will develop in the coming years as well. I would guess it will always be a part of professional play, but college level and under probably should do away with it.

This must be new. I refereed youth soccer around 2003 and this was def. not the case then.

Wat. I played youth and highschool Soccer and was never injured or saw someone injured by contact with the call when heading ball... (it was always due to mistaken player contact).
As a combat sports fan who follows the issues with brain trauma (chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, being the condition to watch out for): it's gonna be both.
We used to think it was the major concussions that did the long-term damage, and you'd be fine if you avoided the big shots as a boxer (let's say). Modern research shows that the sustained, repeated, sub-concussive blows are genuinely bad for the brain. Training itself can be a major cause of brain damage.
Soccer doesn't focus exclusively on heading the ball, but practicing heading for years, and pushing your limits in games, definitely adds up and has resulted in soccer players with CTE. Major concussive events, like head-to-head collisions, are decidedly no help on top of those training regimes.
