Sports move fast. By the time you see the perfect moment and react, it’s probably too late. Anticipation bridges that gap. It’s the ability to foresee action before it happens, so you’re already in position with the right settings dialed in. Whether it’s a soccer player glancing toward an open teammate or a tennis player adjusting their stance before a serve, subtle cues give away what’s coming next. A skilled Fort Collins photographer knows that these cues aren’t random—they’re patterns that repeat. Over time, you learn the rhythm of the sport, the body language of the players, and the signals that an important moment is seconds away.
