Our soccer keep lived up to the motto on his senior poster for senior night, "My goal is to stop yours".

Shot with Canon 1DX Mark III with EF 400 f2.8 @ 1/1000, f2.8, ISO 2000.

Great shot. It is interesting to see that the keeper's eyes are not directly focused actually on the ball, it seems to have moved too fast. I saw the same phenomenon when photographing a baseball batter.

cheers, TREVOR

Thanks Trevor and you often see the same eye focus/position in volleyball where the athlete is looking where the ball is about to be instead of where it is. It is a lot of fun to watch a great keep at work!
