The Many Faces.....

[Old Timer]

There are many faces of an athlete that you encounter while recording a sporting event. Paul's alternative view thread got me to thinking a little about this and I decided to post this thread. The young lady in all these photos is a family friend that we have watched grow up and become a very good person and a fine athlete. In this thread I have tried to explore some of the many faces of an athlete. The before event light hearted get loose spirit, the intensity of the competition and lastly the (to steal a much used phrase) agony of defeat.
