Just wanted to say that I am always amazed at the skill of the top network sports camera operators. They almost always nail focus and follow the completely random action with incredible control.
Lens designed for this purpose have auto focus.

But yes, other 2/3" broadcast camera sport coverage work does require skills. Basically, you get accustomed to the focus range of the part of the field or a court your camera is set to cover, and from there it's extreme multitasking with perception/prediction/device control.
After which you are completely beaten, both mentally and physically.
