New to photography-Looking at expanding products to fit current lenses

Hello Experts!
Y’all were so helpful in pointing me to my RF70-200mm F4. I love the lens. While still relatively new, I’d like to know how I can expand my products and knowledge to make it even more useful. I want to do more photography of my boys. I also have a 50mm and the standard my R10 model came with. What hoods should I be using anyone have a good link? Anything after market worthwhile? Avid Amazon shopper. I’d also love some help pointing me in the direction of started editing software. I need something to start, maybe less expensive until I know how much I’ll use it? Or is it worth the investment? Is it a buy in or subscriptions? Please point me in all the directions. Note: I’m primarily using my 70-200 lens for sports shots that I take of my son’s soccer teams, he’s on a select and traveling team. Thanks so much for any and all help!!! Also, would you recommend my next lens be a 100mm if I’m wanting to do more shots of my kids and expanding that to friends and family?

Just search for “lens hood for Canon RFxxx” on Amazon. You can also look at/download the instruction manuals for your lenses from the Canon support site. They will tell you the model number for the lens hoods. Third party are fine. I choose the JJC versions when I purchase.

Go to the Canon support site for your R10 and download Canon DPP4 - free editing software from Canon You can find tutorials on YouTube for the software. Nina Bailey also has good ebooks. I like her training material.
