No matter your age or your sport, if you compete in athletics you have a game face. And the visage you wear — whether it’s a look of intimidation or determination or simply concentration — says a lot about how you approach the game. We went to three locations — a New York Jets practice, a basketball rec-league night at Manhattan’s Chelsea Piers; and a practice of the South Orange/Maplewood, New Jersey, Villagers youth baseball team — and asked the athletes to do one thing: Show us your game face!
(Click through the numbers to see the faces, or skip ahead to 17 to see them all side by side.)
