People naturally cheer for someone who keeps trying hard 📣

Sports Day

At a sports day, people clap a lot for a child who falls down but runs to the end.

It seems this is called the "underdog effect."

⚡ TRY IT
The penguin race
Tap fast to run. Speedy is very fast… Can you finish?
🏁 Ready? 👣 Run, run, run! 💥 Oops! You fell down… 🏁 Finish!
📣 Cheers for Speedy
📣 Cheers for you
📣 You fell, got up, and ran to the end. The crowd cheered louder for YOU!
Hard Practice

We cheer for high school baseball because we know the players practiced so hard.

Not for Pity

But if you show weakness just to get pity, the cheering does not last.

Keep Going

Trying hard again and again moves people's hearts.
