"A head of steam" = Đầu bốc hơi nước/đầu giàu nghị lực -> Đà, xung lượng hay năng lực cần được thực hiện và tiến tới.

Ví dụ
IT was pretty apt that John McGreal should use a train analogy (phép loại suy, sự tương tự) to describe Colchester United’s excellent recent form, given the impressive way in which their season is currently picking up a head of steam.

Our ability to track back through Aivi Luik - who just drifts effortlessly around the pitch retaining momentum (đà) - and intercept (chặn đứng) any key forward runs before they built a head of steam was arguably the most impressive takeaway from this performance.

So UCLA’s 4-2 win before a sellout (bán hết vé) crowd of 2,366 at Wallis Annenberg Stadium was as much a dress rehearsal (nhắc lại) for next week’s NCAA tournament (giải thi đấu) as it was the final game of the Pac 12 season. Sure, there was more than just bragging (khoe khoang khoác loác) rights at stake: The schools came in tied for second in the conference and with the win, No. 14 UCLA (14-4-1, 8-3-0) will take a head of steam and a slightly better seed into that tournament.
