College wrestler here. In my experience, athletes often have varying levels of body awareness and coordination, so some are more likely to move in ways that puts more stress on joints, while others are able to move in a more biomechanically optimized way. Some may also be more likely to overtrain, which is also a common cause of injuries when athletes are not recovering fully between workouts.
