You had all this going against you, and you still came close to capturing a very good photo.

I take sports photos fairly often, and more often than I care to admit, I screw up something: focus off, white balance off, I zoom in too much or not enough, I press the shutter too late or too early, I take the photo from a less than ideal place, etc. But, with practice, my mistakes happen a bit less often and my good photos improve over time.

From what little I can tell from this one photo, there's no reason for you to give up on photographing sports. If you enjoy it, just practice a bit and get to know your gear. Then, you just might be pleasantly surprised at how much progress you make.
