XO Athletics, a start up company, asked us design sporting goods using a new foam they developed

I chose to focus on Soccer. Researched many documents published by the Football Federation (FIFA) about Soccer injuries and decided to make a new shin guard
Interview Garrett Gee, a soccer player from my university, he told me what things he liked and did not like about shin guards

Developed 3 concepts based on Neoprene as main material.
Polished and define better concept based on neoprene waistband
