The first thing I see with this photo is the overwhelming background In sports photography it usually doesn’t hurt to use a shallow depth of field but it does hurt this photo since there is a lack of action in the subject. Using the motion blur is alright here but it would have help to give something else in focus to show that it wasn’t just camera shake or something like that. Maybe include other aspects of the sport.
The lighting here has some problems as well, there seams to be a good amount of overexposure in the photo most noticeable on his shoulder. A larger aperture would allow you to keep a slow shutter speed along with increasing depth of field.
I like that you gave room in the frame for the subject to move but giving him a reference point something he is running to or from would help even more.
I hope what I said was helpful feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Thank you.
