This was very helpful. It validated a lot of what I choose to focus on when shooting sports. I am on the right path of understanding the game enough to tell the story and be in the right place to capture the action. Now if I can just get a handle on using the manual mode on my camera. Hence my newbie question. You said: "Use 1/1000th sec if possible. It stops action better and allows you to get the ball in your images more often." So if I am using my 200-500 f5-6.3 I should put the mode on S at 1/1000th, set the ISO at 400 and let the camera set the aperature? Maybe...?
