I’ve been watching the sport for years now and it still baffles me why corners have a such low-return percentage for the attacking team. How is it that the ball almost always finds the head of a defending player?

You have more defenders then attackers. This is because not only is one of the attacker taking the corner but the attackers needs to keep some players in defense to protect against counterattacks. Adding to this the defenders are mainly trying to get the ball away from the goal while attackers have to try to get it very accurately towards the goal. So it is much easier for a defender to scramble towards where the ball is going.
