DQ: What do I need to know about the design of soccer equipment in order to make the best choice for my soccer career?

Genius Hour Project

The Research Process 

  • I spent time making design charts.

  • The equipment I tested was:

    • The Mercurial 11 cleats,

    • The Puma cleats,

    • The CR7 Soccer ball,

    • And the MITRE Soccer ball.

  • Made charts in Powerpoint with four research logs that I recorded my data in.

  • The hardest thing was finding reliable sources. 

  • I overcame this but just simply looking harder. 

  • The best moment was when I found my source for the CR7 ball.

  • While conducting research I found that many Youtubers had done similar things.

My Data Log

Special Thanks to Ms. Schultz, my Language Art teacher, for all the wonderful help that you gave me.

All GH Videos

Special Thanks to Ms. Poppaw, my Science and STEM Foundations teacher, for uploading this video for me.

The Results​

  • The Mercurial XI preference

  •  The CR7 ball preference

  • The real answer is dependent on the players style and type of play. 

  • Stitched bladder

  • FG (Firm Ground)

  • I will pay closer attention to design when shopping for soccer equipment later on down the road

  • Professional Soccer player

  • Cleat designer
