As cheerleading has evolved, so has the language used to describe its practitioners. "Cheerleader's asset" describes the physical characteristics that make cheerleaders effective, but there are several other terms that can be used to describe this quality. "Pep point" is one term that refers to a cheerleader's energy and enthusiasm. "Spirit booster" refers to a cheerleader's ability to raise the morale of the crowd. "Momentum maker" describes the ability of a cheerleader to create energy and excitement in the arena. Each of these synonyms highlights a different aspect of the cheerleading experience and demonstrates the importance of physicality, personality, and energy in this sport.
