When you go to a sporting event, try to think like an athlete. You will have a better idea of what might happen and can prepare for a possibility that may arise.
When a footballer scores, they often celebrate with the supporters. You can prepare yourself for this. In a marathon, someone is completely spent when they reach the finish. You know this, and that is the best image to capture.
A tennis player who wins the first two sets and then loses two, becomes nervous. You will undoubtedly see this reflected in their actions and reactions.
By thinking like an athlete, you can put yourself in their shoes. You will understand the feeling and be prepared for what might happen.

@Peewee; Sorry to hear that you don't like it.
Translated from Dutch.
You do describe exactly the approach of all our photography bibles: a concrete tip on every page, described in a few paragraphs, and a matching photo with the corresponding camera settings.
Also exactly what you see here in this article; this tip also comes directly from the book with the same photo and information. And 100 extra sports photography tips in a similar way.
