Matt sits down with John Eric Goff, Professor of Physics at the University of Lynchburg and author of <em>Gold Medal Physics: The Science of Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember Mark having fun with the term &#8220;thermal bonding&#8221; and soccer ball physics a few episodes ago. Professor Goff does work on soccer ball physics and sports physics in general. We talk about the Telstar 18, the differences between playing soccer at altitude and sea level, the World Cup, and much much more.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about topics Professor Goff discusses on the show and researches, check out his <a href=\"http:\/\/johnericgoff.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/John.Eric.Goff.Sports.Physicist\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook page<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.lynchburg.edu\/goff_j\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">faculty page<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/1754337118773214\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peer-reviewed publications<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RKcR8rXQp1Y\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube work<\/a>.

A Colorado Convert, he started covering the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/category\/rapids\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Rapids<\/a> as a credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he&#8217;s watched MLS since it started. When he&#8217;s not watching or writing about soccer, he&#8217;s being an outdoorsman (mostly skiing and hiking) in this beautiful state or trying a new beer. For some reason, he thought that\u00a0starting a podcast with Mark was a good idea and he can&#8217;t figure out how to stop this madness. He also hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/tag\/last-word-sc-radio\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word SC Radio<\/a>.

Shortly thereafter he went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickssportinggoodspark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Park<\/a>, saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlssoccer.com\/players\/lee-nguyen\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lee Nguyen<\/a> dribble a ball with the silky smoothness of liquid chocolate cascading into a Bar Mitzvah fountain, and promptly fell head over heels in love with domestic soccer. When not watching MLS or coaching U8 soccer, he&#8217;s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably. He writes about the Rapids for <a href=\"https:\/\/aroundmls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Around MLS<\/a> and covers the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/author\/mgoodman\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Riverhounds<\/a> of the USL for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Soccer<\/a>.
