Sports Chants
When I go to a sporting event, the best part about it usually isn't the actual game, it's the chants that the fans do. Nothing unites a group of fans like sports chants. Whether it's the classic "LET'S GO *insert team's name*!!", something simple like "J-E-T-S,JETS, JETS, JETS, JETS!!", or something clever like "He's big, he's quick, he's got a 12 inch ___, MONDRAGON!!", sports chants rally up the fighting spirits within the fans and create a much more competitive atmosphere. Sports chants show how powerful a few words can be. Sometimes, the chants make no sense at all; they're just random noises synchronized in tune. Nevertheless, when something is yelled loud enough by a group of people, it gets athletes motivated. It can inspire an underdog to upset the powerhouse or it can completely alter the momentum of a game. As a fan, there's no greater exhilaration than being a part of a loud fan group. As a player, there's no greater adrenaline rush than hearing your fans cheer for you in harmony.

We were lucky enough to experience this cheering during Soccer season with the Sons of Pete!! But you're right there is no better feeling than seeing fans getting excited and hearing them cheering for you it gives you such a rush as a player. Also, as a fan hearing everybody joining together and cheering for one thing brings out a sense of unity and gives you a sense of confidence. In a crowd of people all cheering for the same thing gives the fan a rush along with the players because the atmosphere is so inspirational! Sports chants just showcase the power of words and how they can be used to inspire and unite a group of people.
