My left foot has a problem

Anyone knows why my left foot's thumb seems to have more impact to my shoes than my right? Im constantly playing basketball (3-4 times a week).

Is it a sign of weak muscle somewhere in my body? Or is this normal?

I decided to learn Biomechanics every Sunday. Let’s see where this goes.

Every Sunday I planned to learn Biomechanics. But honestly, it is not as easy as I thought.

My background is CSE-AIML, and currently I’m doing an MS by Research in Quantum Machine Learning. Somehow, I’m trying to find where I can fit into Biomechanics and build the right skill set and mindset.

I attended a class at my university by Prof. Krishna Kumar. I liked the class, but I was not mature enough to understand the mathematical language.

Then I tried several courses. Finally, Prof. Varadan SKM’s NPTEL lectures helped me get into the theory.

Now I’ve started taking notes on my tablet and doing a small project using OpenSim.

My personal target is to understand and speak the language of Biomechanics by December 2026.

This is my small journey. Let’s see where I reach.

How do I study for this??

I'm an exercise science student, all my exams were good, but biomechanics. I don't know how to study for this subject, and actually UNDERSTAND what's going on. The lectures haven't helped me at all, and there's no proper materials to really help me actively learn. They don't have practice exams, and only a few questions, but I can't keep remaking those or I won't learn. I'm just a bit frustrated because it's so interesting, but I feel stuck because I can't properly learn or understand it.
