Love these tips. Again, all very sound advice. Especially the one about getting advice from some pros and then listening to their critiques. I was more of a wildlife photographer, but the help I got from seasoned wildlife photographers on a few forums helped me improve massively. You kinda touched on it (but were talking about gear), but knowing your subject is big plus. The more you are familiar withe sport you are shooting, the better. That way you can pick a feel for the rhythms of the game, and that allows you to anticipate the action better. So for example, if the goalie is taking sickouts, and kicking it long, roughly where is it dropping. If that is relatively consistent you can be in position for the players competing for a header. Or in rugby, when they set up a scrum or line out, which way the play is likely to develop. Once you've grabbed a few of those in a dynamic way, I feel the pressure if off and you can focus on getting more spontaneous shots.
