My niece has been selected to participate in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) for soccer, and they had some games in College Station this past weekend.  She’s a member of the Oklahoma Select team, and her position is goalie (at least I know where to find her on the field!).

I made my debut with action photography this weekend, and I managed to catch a couple of worthwhile shots.  Here they are:

She and her fellow goalie began warming up together before the first game on Saturday.  (True, this is not an action shot.)

This one is not going to find the net.

This is a definite stop.

Jazz is focused on this ball, and her team is not letting this one get in either.

Excellent focus.

What I see in these shots is a laser-like focus and positioning.  I learned a very little about soccer this weekend, and I had fun watching.  I’m really glad I had the opportunity to attend, and I hope to be able to do more in the future.
