YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The World Cup match ball has come along way since the old ways of pig skins and human heads (no, really), and even today, the brainiacs at Adidas are coming up with all sorts of ways to improve ball design every time the FIFA World Cup comes around.

But first we have to find out what it takes to make a “good” ball in the first place.

Be sure to check out Dr. John Eric Goff's paper for way more detail on the subject!
