In Others’ Words: Don’t Overlook Enthusiasm
My husband and I have become the de facto sports photographers for our youngest daughter’s volleyball teams.
CJ plays volleyball year-round, which means I have thousands of volleyball photos of her and all of her teammates. On average, if her club plays three matches and a cross-over match during a tournament, I come home with a minimum of two thousand photos. I then cull the good photos from the bad. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Save. Delete. Delete. Delete. Save. And repeat. Her high school varsity team plays 5 sets in a match, so during the high school season, my photo count from a tournament can be higher.
Yes, I love the action shots, where I’ve captured a good serve or block or hit. But even more? I love to continue photographing after those moments and capture the team celebrating.
Enthusiasm is the heartbeat of a team. Celebration — open expression of excitement for another’s success — creates a stronger bond among teammates. Letting a teammate know you’re excited when they triumph builds unity and fuels energy that keeps a team going when up against a tough opponent.
The next time you’re at a sporting event, go ahead and cheer when the team scores. But watch how the team celebrates one another.Those times of group elation are some of the best moments on the court.
In Your Words: When have you experienced enthusiastic moments of group celebration?
