> when I was shooting a lot of high school soccer, better action shots came from “skating to where the puck is going.” way to mix sports metaphors. /s to get better action shots, it really helps to understand the nuance of the sport itself. being able to anticipate off the ball movement while being able to anticipate a play developing will all help you improve your luck to be pointing your lens in the right place. I followed a specific NCAA football team for a season, and got to the point of anticipating plays and recognizing formations even though I'm not really a throwball fan. I'm much more of a proper football fan, and can do much better than skating to a puck metaphor as I know tactics much better and see how off the ball players are moving and why they are doing it. This definitely allowed for better action shots of players with the ball. As anything, someone with specific knowledge of their subject will improve their luck over someone just there for some shots.
