How to Make a Soccer Ball
I grew up with soccer for most of my life. My dad was a team coach, an instructor, and the head of a club soccer league. So naturally I got involved in soccer early on, playing everything from AYSO, AYSO Select, indoor, to even club soccer. One really cool memory I have is when my dad took me to see the US team play Argentina in the 1994 World Cup Series (that was a fun game even though an Argentina fan threw soda on us and our whole row because they were losing). Anyways, I always enjoyed playing soccer but there came a point where I just needed a change, especially after 12 years of it. So I dropped it and picked up a basketball and the guitar instead. Dad this post if for you!
Below is a pretty fascinating video of the production process behind the official 2010 FIFA World Cup ball.
