Tom Brady may be really done playing football now, but his discipline and drive endure. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is enjoying retirement while staying busy. He’s preparing for his new 2024 broadcasting gig at Fox Sports, is set to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, and is focusing on his apparel and wellness brands. He’s also dabbled in acting -– in the feature film “80 for Brady” last year and in some funny new ads for Hertz rental cars with actor-comedian Yvonne Orji.
AP: Are you the kind of dad who says “let’s get summer homework done” or “go see the fireworks and do homework later” ? BRADY: It’s not the thing you want to hear when you get out of school after a long year, is to think about summer reading, but it’s our reality. So, let’s think about where we’ve got to be when school starts and let’s work our way back and make sure that we’re not cramming here with the last week to go. We’ll set aside some time.
AP: Have you loosened up on your strict eating and workout regiment now that you’re not playing football? BRADY: I’m pretty disciplined. You know, I think it just became part of my daily routine. That was probably why I played so long was I enjoyed that process of working out a lot. I realized if I want to play football for a long period of time, I’ve got to treat my body a certain way and I can’t cut corners. And now that I’m done, retiring, my body feels really good. I feel like I still have a long life and I want to live a very active lifestyle, so I’ve got to maintain a level of discipline.
