Great capture indeed. I love the expression on her face:It's priceless, and I would not hesitate to send/give this picture to her mom as a gift, as a way to tell her let her baby girl have fun at the game. But you would never know, it could be "like mother , like daughter" too

This is a nice shot but to me points out a major concern with the little ones and organized sports. One of my grandsons gave up completely on organized sports because he was tired of being yelled at by the coaches. So far he's tried baseball, football and basketball and, at age 9, it was all about winning and not about learning - and enjoying the sport. I had to confront the coach at one of his T-ball games when they wanted to carry on with a playoff game in spite of lightning in the area.
Too many of the leagues take the fun out of it for kids - and parents.
Not to take away from the shot because it is priceless and as Paul said, probably marketable.
Thanks, everyone, for all your comments! Richard brings up a good point. We parents need to be more encouraging and less critical...I know I need to be! Even when we think we're "encouraging" our kids, they might not see it that way.
Youth soccer is pretty interesting. I've coached my son's little league baseball team, and because the pace is slower and not a whole lot goes on at any given time, you don't hear as much "instruction" from the parents. Soccer is an entirely different beast. There's movement all the time, so it's not uncommon to hear a dozen different voices on the sidelines all screaming at their kids to do this and do that.
