Never Give Up

[GvilleRick]

I shot a couple of football games this afternoon. In the second game there was a particular play that I captured in a burst of 35 photos. Here are some of the key frames.

Here the ball arrives and the defender breaks it up.

• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 70.0 mm

The ball rises...

• 70.0 mm

and the defender is thinking the play is done but you can see that the offensive player is still watching the ball.

The receiver is about to catch the ball but the defender is not aware.

• ILCE-7RM5
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 92.0 mm

The receiver never gave up on the play and grabbed the rebound for a TD.

Dya think the defender was defensive when the coach "discussed" it with him?
