What I have learned about action photography

Zone Focus: To focus your camera to a spot that you know action will be taking place, then take the picture when the action gets there.

Shutter Speed: You need to have a high shutter speed in order to freeze action.

Panning: To have a low ISO and shutter speed and still capture action in focus. You follow the action by taking the picture and moving your camera in that direction at the same speed and keeping it on the same spot in the view finder.

Waiting for the pause: To wait to take a picture until you know that the action will be stopped, then take it.
