Team spirit is the feeling of loyalty and pride that makes the whole team want to do their absolute best to do well. This gives them the motivation for the entire team.
There are many ways to show team spirit such as huddling around the team, the whole team having a meal before a game and celebrating with the team.
Probably the most common thing in team spirit is how the team huddles up with each other and gives a little pep talk to each other before the event.
Sophomore Lee Rousseau said, “Two minutes before we run, all the guys get in a circle and Parker says a speech, then Brady says a prayer.” This can be important to others because they can feel like they are being supported by their team, which makes them want to try harder.
It is always better to have positive team spirit rather than negative. If you have a bad outlook on the team it could ruin everyone’s mood. Teams always try to make their team comfortable and safe rather than make them feel like they are nothing and useless.
