Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry

This book looks to prove that team chemistry is driven by biological and social forces, and boosts selfless effort among players. It drives teams toward a common goal, encouraging players to be their best selves. These elements make teams “click,” foster trust and respect, and push players to exceed their potential when working well together.

Through interviews with over 100 players, coaches, managers, and statisticians, and five years of research in neuroscience, biology, physiology, and psychology, author Joan Ryan demonstrates that the social and emotional state of a team significantly impacts performance. Grit, passion, selflessness, and effort matter, but never underestimate the power of chemistry.
