John Eric Goff

I love physics, and I love sports. My first book, Gold Medal Physics: The Science of Sports, combines those two loves. I grew up with a dream of playing professional baseball. But, alas, my talent level was a tad shy of what is needed at the pro level. I may be one of the few people who has chosen a career in physics because something else was too hard! I now have a lot of fun researching the physics of sports. Equally enjoyable for me is teaching my physics students at the University of Lynchburg. My second book, The Physics of Krav Maga, is due out 19 November 2019.
