Vlogs of athletes mainly reflect the way they live their lives and how they want to share their progress. They want to share positive outputs, creative content, and trendy challenges to prove that they are more than just a traditional athlete with repetitive workout routines, training, and conditioning. And, if you are peculiar about their athletic lives—training regimens, eating habits, future competitions, humor, and all, then this is the right place for you to find the best athlete-slash-vlogger. 

Christian Standhardinger

Filipino-German player Christian Standhardinger not only shoots baskets but also posts watch-worthy vlogs. The player showcases that he’s not just a top draft pick player but he’s a vlogger in his own right. 

In an interview with The Score, the basketball player shares the get-go of him vlogging which was inspired by her mother. He stated that her mother collected lots of videos of him and his sister. As he grew up, he got interested in those videos.

“That’s such a great thing to have those videos of those experiences in your life,” Standhardinger said. 

From then on, the San Miguel star player documents his life, his ups and downs in his new life in the Philippines. After missing a shot to play for the national team, he sets foot in the PBA for the first time which was his debut in vlogging.
