At ProBall, Sydney’s best basketball club for kids, we know younger siblings often bring a fearless spark to the game. Now research confirms it’s more than just a hunch — it’s science.
Studies in Australia, Canada, and even Major League Baseball show that younger siblings are more likely to excel at sport. Why? They spend their early years competing against older, stronger opponents. This “playing up” forces them to develop skills, decision-making, and resilience faster.
