The player on the sidlines was in the sun watching the play on the field which is in the shadow of the stands. I liked the contrast between the two making the sidelined player stand out. He is about one third into the frame which lend to the perspective of his view of the game.

Now here we have another fine example of ROT. You we very good to have this lighting and a better eye to take the photo. the little blue house in the background draws some attention but I understand if you didn't want to move it. 9 for now

Bright sunlight illuminating the sidelined football player is a good visual highlight selection. Makes the viewer wonder what the football player is thinking and feeling as he watches the game. Good capture of action for the background. Good lighting, no overexposed areas and good sharpness.

Centering the helmet on the lower left rule of thirds intersection point works for the challenge topic but not necessarily for the image itself. For this image, since the football player is the main subject, it might be better to center the whole player on the left vertical rule of thirds line rather than just the helmet at the intersection point. The far sideline acts a horizon. You might consider leveling that to true horizontal.

Not exactly at 1/3 of the image. Kind of 1/4th. Nice though.
