cheering on
Shouting your support
Cheering on means encouraging or supporting someone through vocal enthusiasm, especially during a performance or competition.
You cheer on a team from the stands, a runner approaching the finish line, or a friend giving a difficult presentation: The crowd cheered her on as she attempted the final jump.
The phrase implies active, visible support rather than passive hope.
