Rather than repeat what is already out there on the Web in abundance, have a look at http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/technique/how-to-shoot-action-and-sports-photography-625 which gives a great resume of the subject - equipment, styles and techniques.
I would just add the following 8 attributes to the mix.
1. Talent ?
some people are better at action photography??
2. Skill -
This is something you can learn from others and comes with knowledge and
practice.
3.
Knowledge - You need knowledge of your sport and in detail how your camera
works. You should be able to change the settings on your camera without looking
at the controls
4.
Practice - Skills improve dramatically with practice.
5. Desire -
You need to have the desire to get that perfect shot.
6. Work - Be
prepared to work hard and not always succeed
7.
Opportunity - Be ready for the opportunities when they present themselves
8. Luck!!
Below a few images from various photographers that I think stand out from the crowd
