What I learned is that about motion blur is to slow down the shutter speed. Then to keep your camera stable since it is a slower shutter speed you to be still while taking the picture. There is also using a smaller shutter speed as well because there would be less light to come in. You can decrease the ISO to prevent overexposure.

What I learned to capture action is having the right settings. There is also picking a spot to get the right angles. Having focus modes to have the best point to shoot your photo. Then also there is timing so you can get a good photo of the sport.
