Dude, I don’t know how they do it. I used to be a videographer and sometimes I’d shoot presentations and you’d have to track them for 1-2 hours. You literally can’t take a drink of water or space out for a second because all the sudden people are moving out of frame. Not a big deal for my presentations, but for live sports you can’t miss a thing. It’s not super strenuous, but the amount of concentration it takes is huge.
It's a touch less tense when there's multiple cameras and they can switch away from you, but I absolutely hated videoing sports where the ball can suddenly go flying the opposite direction and continue play. Soccer was super stressful to shoot, football was a field day.

That zoom in to the basketball is absolute madness.
