Momentum in Football is Real

Momentum in Football is Real. You can bet on it!

Those are controversial statements.

One of the most heated debates in sports is whether or not momentum is real. 

There's a lot of players and coaches that say, yes, it is a real thing. Then, you have coaches that say momentum is not real - what fans attribute to momentum is really just execution of what was practiced. The naysayers say that momentum is just doing what you're trained to do.

But what if I told you physics and math actually back up the existence of momentum in sports?

Paul Roebber, a professor of math, did a study that showed momentum in football is real; however, it must be accounted for from the standpoint of the team versus one or a few athletes alone. When the machines were programmed to work like human brains and momentum was simulated, the bottom line is that momentum was shown to be real.

Knowing that momentum is real is great, but you need a way to spot it and use it that knowledge to your advantage. When it comes to finding momentum in games and when it might shift a game outcome, knowing how to use the law of inertia easily and spot changes before everyone else is the key.
