MUSTANG SPIRIT CAN’T BE BEAT. When playing a sport, an important part of the team’s success is the people who are there to support them. Student sections may be one of the biggest supporters there are. Seeing and hearing your peers cheer you on as you are working hard can be a big motivator and can greatly impact the outcome of a game, especially when it comes to a rival school.
Not only does having a student section push teams to compete harder but they also play a role in how the other team may compete due to intimidation, the loud atmosphere, and the effect they have on a team's mental game. Krista Porter, a junior, explains, “If our team is in a rut it's our supporters who truly motivate us to stay determined and fight for every point.”
Encouraging friends to attend the games and join the student section is a great way to expand the crowd and increase school spirit.
