The next few weeks were a whirlwind. KJ, Kyle, and Kareem trained harder than ever, but they also had to deal with the business side of the game. Jacobs wasn't the only one trying to get their attention—other agents started reaching out, some more aggressively than others. The brothers quickly realized that this was a game in itself. Agents were relentless, and it wasn't always easy to tell who was genuine and who was just trying to make a quick buck.
They also had to get used to the idea of their lives being scrutinized. Brands wanted them to wear specific clothes, take photos for advertisements, and post regularly on social media to boost their profiles. While the idea of growing their personal brand was exciting, the pressure was overwhelming at times. Their YouTube channel, 3KB, started gaining traction again, but with it came the need for constant content and engagement. Fans were eager to see behind the scenes, and the brothers found themselves balancing their training schedules with creating new videos and managing the growing online presence.
Despite the distractions, they continued to focus on what they loved most: playing soccer. But now, they were keenly aware that their performances on the field weren't just about scoring goals or winning matches. Every move they made off the field could affect their future, and they had to learn how to navigate this new world without losing sight of who they were.
