Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team ChemistryFrom baseball to biology, an award winning journalist highlights the power of team chemistry in this "terrific" data driven investigation of human relationships (Billie Jean King). Does team chemistry actually exist? Is there scientific or mathematical proof? Is team chemistry as real and relevant as on base percentages and wins above replacement? In Joan Ryan's groundbreaking book we discover that the answer to all of the above is a resounding yes.
From baseball to biology, an award-winning journalist highlights the power of team chemistry in this "terrific" data-driven investigation of human relationships (Billie Jean King).Does team chemistry actually exist? Is there scientific or mathematical proof? Is team chemistry as real and relevant as on-base percentages and wins above replacement?
In Joan Ryan's groundbreaking book we discover that the answer to all of the above is a resounding yes. As Ryan puts it, team chemistry, or the combination of biological and social forces that boosts selfless effort among more players over more days of a season, is what drives sports teams toward a common goal, encouraging the players to be the best versions of themselves. These are the elements of teams that make them "click," the ones that foster trust and respect, and push players to exceed their own potential when they work well together.
Team chemistry alone won't win a World Series, but talent alone won't win it, either. And by interviewing more than 100 players, coaches, managers, and statisticians, as well as over five years of extensive research in neuroscience, biology, physiology, and psychology, Ryan proves that the social and emotional state of a team does affect performance. Grit, passion, selflessness, and effort matter -- but never underestimate the power of chemistry.

Adorable!!!
Color: Green, Size: 3, Color: Green, Size: 3
This suit is adorable! I got it in 2 colors. Made the perfect Christmas picture outfits. The quality is great. I got them 1 size up so they could fit in it longer, and size up was a little big as expected. Im happy they will fit in them for another year.

Well made and very nice material.
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 10
This is a great suit the quality material and the color is better than expected. The slacks have waist adjustments that help with comfort. Definitely worth the price.
I give it 4 stars because it was supposed to be a slim fit but the jacket is really loose and not as form fitting as I expected, however the suit is worth the price.
My son loves it ! Color is perfect for him!

Returned ...
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 20
I ordered the dark brown suit which my son loved. once I looked closely there seemed to be cat hair on it, it looks like it was washed as well, which caused the material to rise and become damaged.
