Soccer Bet Leads to Adidas Ads

George Mack shares a story about how a bet with his father led to him becoming exceptionally skilled at soccer tricks.

"My dad bet me I couldn't do 10 kickups with a soccer ball. I was just hitting puberty, so testosterone was in the system. I remember thinking, 'I'll prove him wrong.' So I trained and trained and trained. He didn't try to push me to do it, he just bet me whether I could do it.

I ended up doing it, and then I kept doing it more and more. I ended up in an Adidas advert for a FIFA World Cup. I used to tour around doing tricks at different stadiums. I held like 3 unofficial world records for different tricks and things like that.

Ultimately, I decided I wanted to lose my virginity, so I stopped doing it. But it was really fun."
