Are the Ball brothers a victim of their own Big Baller brand? (alien.top)

Tons of potential, but it looks like they’ve landed on the injury list for a good while. I remember when all the Ball brothers were coming up they were touting their home-grow training routine lead mostly by his dad.

Can’t help but think training with an amateur trainer (Ball Senior) seriously messed them up. Bad form, poor training regimes, etc. I distinctly recall a video of the Ball brothers doing a garage workout and thinking they had shit form.

If they had gone the basketball academy route they might be holding up better, it might have helped at the very least.

A good amount of young athletes are experiencing injuries or the wear and tear that are seen in old players.

This is probably due to social media giving spotlight to high school athletes, the pressure put on student athletes by schools to succeed, the internal pressure to get in the big leagues, etc. now you add the possibility of making money in the ncaa via nil. You will see a lot of overtraining and playing which will breakdown the body faster.
