Thrill of Victory, Agony of Defeat


According to Marriam-Webster the definition of jubilation is an act of rejoicing, and an expression of great joy. This season I've been working hard at catching photos of jubilation as well as sorrow. Whether it's scoring the game winner or losing a hard fought battle there's plenty of emotion to be seen during a sporting event. Here's an example of both I capture during a youth soccer game. In the first photo the young man scored the first goal well into the second half of a soccer match breaking the stalemate. In the second photo the young man was one-on-one against the goalie but pulled the ball wide of the net as his team falls short of a victory.
