Processing the shots I took at my daughter's soccer tournament this weekend and I found this one.
Edit to add these shots that I shared with HopeHoops below:
They are U17's (incoming Juniors and Seniors). This was a College Showcase tournament with over 200 teams from around the country playing and over 300 college coaches there scouting, so they tend to play full bore.
Below is my daughter, #20 in orange.

Two healthy, athletic, attractive young women, each trying to take the ball from the other...
Beautiful, and a great action shot!
You should be proud!

I always fall asleep during ballet performances.
