The New Science of Momentum: How the Best Coaches and Leaders Build a Fire from a Single Spark

“This book will help you win in the game of life!” – Dick Vitale, ESPN analyst

Learn how to capture—and keep—the awesome power of momentum!

Most leaders believe in momentum—a phenomenon that's easy to perceive but difficult to define. Which is why so few have been able to explain how to spark it, sustain it, or steer it to unbridled success.

Until now.

In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Don Yaeger and leadership expert Bernie Banks uncover what it takes to turn a single moment into unstoppable momentum. Drawing from eight years of research, over 250 interviews, and thousands of survey responses, they reveal a proven model for building momentum across sports, business, politics, and the military.

You'll learn how to:

• Recognize the early spark of momentum and act on it. • Build a culture that sustains momentum over time. • Apply a research-backed model used by top leaders. • Reignite momentum when it begins to fade.

Whether you're leading a team or an entire organization, this book will help you harness momentum in every aspect of an enterprise—from team building to recruitment to communications—and make it last.
