Also be at the right place at the right time. Never take your eye off the game. Use multi shot settings that take 3 to 10 pictures with each click of the camera, this catches the fumble, the fall and other after it happened shots.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Sports photography is where equipment plays a big role as well. P&S cameras are pretty much out of question. Even with the fastest DSLR, I found it challenging to pick the right focus spot. What happened to Canon's eye control focus?

Start with a dSLR and a big 300mm f/2.8 lens.

yes and personally I have that but for those reading this advice I would assume it is WAY to expensive option, 300mm 2.8 is a fortune...(but yes if you are serious about your photography)
