I have always had a fascination with why athletes drive themselves to their breaking points to compete. In my concentration I wanted to show some of the great physical achievements by some of Blair’s top athletes, and show the emotions of their respective sports.
Image 3 is a great example of the intensity of sports that I wanted to convey with my concentration. This picture was taken at the National Prep Wrestling Championships. Ryan Miller was losing by 4 points when he pinned the kid he was wrestling. In this picture you can see the thrill of victory in Miller’s, his teammates, and coaches in the background. In this same picture the terror of defeat is seen in the losing wrestlers expression. This is exactly what I wanted to show in my concentration.
