I was playing soccer and hit the ball with my head. when i made contact with the ball i felt an electrical shock in my head. what does this mean?

Nerve compression: If it was a brief sensation it could have been from compression of one of the nerves in your scalp. Just like hitting your "funny bone" which is really a nerve passing around your elbow. If you are having headaches, dizziness, or other ongoing symptoms you should be evaluated by your doctor for other injuries like concussion before playing again.
