Are you tired of being the only one in the crowd who can't cheer your team on? Do you want to be able to stand out with your enthusiasm and energy, but don't know how? Fear not, my friends! With these simple tips and tricks, you will learn how to cheer like a pro in no time!
Find Your Inner Yell Leader
The first step in cheering like a pro is finding your inner yell leader. This means getting yourself hyped up and ready to go before the game even starts. Here are some things you can do to get pumped:
- Jam out: Listen to some upbeat music that gets you excited.
- Visualize: Picture yourself cheering on your team and pumping up the crowd.
- Practice: Practice your cheers beforehand so they come out smooth during the game.
Once you've got yourself hyped up, it's time to move onto actually supporting your team.
Know Your Team
It's important to understand what makes your team unique so that you can tailor your cheers towards them specifically. If they have a certain play or player that stands out, use that knowledge as inspiration for creative cheers!
For example: if their star quarterback likes dogs try using phrases such as "Pawsome play" or "throwing fur-tastic passes".
Familiarize Yourself with Common Sports Terms
Knowledge of common sports terms will help better understand what is going on during each game such as Touchdowns, Fouls , Interceptions etc . Incorporate those into different phrases throughout matches giving high fives when necessary.Regardless which sport it is know all about its basics throughly .
Don't feel overwhelmed by these words at once try learning 2/3 newwords altogether everytime .This way by end of season i.e atleast five months later one would have learnt quite manageable amount of phrases and also players don't expect you to master them all .
Make Use of Signage
Talking about grabbing attention making use of different signage like banners , posters. Even if your team forgets they're playing that night or their first names (okay, maybe not that extreme), there's no way they'll miss a giant banner in the stands showing support. Better yet write something witty on it to bring laughter to both teams.
Timing is Key
The timing with which an audience cheers for matters alot sometimes . A cheer after a lost ball possession might be quite discouraging than motivating at times so once try keeping cheer relevant during break-time moments eg: A Timeout or Half Time etc.This gives enough time for introspection while upping morale.
Bringing humour to small pauses works wonders as well can be done by involving mascot performances besides people cheering themselves out . Shows them visuals along with vocal appreciation.
Bring Out The Props!
Prop culture has been revolutionizing every event big or small, why should sports matches lag behind ? But make sure those props are Safe and Sound because nothing dampens enthusiasm more than being disqualified from attending next match due unsafe usage So leave the glitter bombs home!
Here some fun ideas :
- Megaphones: makes a voice louder , never fails
- Thundersticks: These inflatable sticks are great when bouncing off each other!
- Flags/Banners: Waving flags/banners always grabs attention -Random Unexpected costumes/district clothes
All these promote extra volume effect needed for pumping spirit high
Volume Control?
Yes VOLUME CONTROL! No one wants injury from ear bleeding courtesy of someone who took "louder better" saying quite seriously . One would only want hype enthusiasism building routine than expensive monthly medication bills stacked up .
Instead just create density rhythm wisdom repeat so know exactly what words and sounds must pack maximum punch.
Chants Vs Individual Cheers
Both chanting an individual cheering have unique yet their own signatures resulting in forming of positive morale.
Chanting gives out vibes of solidarity, reinforcing the team spirit in unison. Imagine hearing it all echo through the stadium for more than just once quite bold isn't it ?
Indidividual cheer sound like a orchestra with everyone having different parts to play together that automatically strings up hope amidst all chaos . Standing posters can be added upto make it buzzing environment.
Involve Crowd!
At times crowd ends up finding themselves stranded (or shy) during standup-and-cheer moments. Give them activities to participate along and feel being one with others too. give interval quizzes which boosts not only self confidence but also teams will see lot of passion overall.
