[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My undergraduate college degree is in athletic training (sports medicine) from Winona State University in southestern Minnesota. During my senior year (last year) I was the head student athletic trainer for the women's soccer team.

I miss working with the team as I am not graduated and in chiropractic school in the Twin Cities. However, last weekend I was able to catch a game since they were playing Concordia University near where I am now living. The game was great (they won 1-0) and I catch up a little with the team and athletic training staff.

This is my favorite shot from the game that I captured. It's a perfect display of grace and power in my opinion right before the ball was kicked.

Adjusted levels, cropped, and added frame in PS7. Thanks for looking; critiques and comments always welcome.

Great sports capture, the focus and white balance are right on. Good choice of shutter speed to 'freeze' the action... and way to capture the facial expression.
