The legendary Tom Brady decided to call it quits this offseason after making it to seven Super Bowls and earning MVP and Pro Bowl honors with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respectively. As his age did not support him in showing his prowess on the soccer field, he chose to show his leadership prowess by guiding the young player by purchasing a stake in Birmingham City FC.
Nevertheless, his ownership journey with soccer seemingly is not in the way of yielding much honor for the retired player, as he still needs to find the recipe for winning on the soccer field.
Tom Brady seeks to learn amid Birmingham City crisis
Since Tom Brady entered the scene as a minority shareholder in Birmingham City, the team has faced a challenging run on the field, coinciding with the transition from John Eustace to Wayne Rooney as head coach.
Despite holding a mere 5% stake and lacking control over club decisions, TB12 received criticism from disgruntled fans after attending the game against Rotherham United. Unfortunately, the legendary player, dubbed an “alien” by the Indianapolis Colts, witnessed Birmingham’s 0-0 draw on December 2.
Brady, known for instilling a winning mentality, finds the losing streak hard to bear. While acknowledging he has much to learn about English soccer, the fifteen-time Super Bowl winner reassures aggravated fans that, if nothing else, he knows how to kick a ball.
“Well, let’s just say, I’ve got a lot to learn. But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they might translate pretty well,” he said following the losing game.
Despite holding a minority ownership stake, Tom Brady is poised to assume the role of chairman on the new advisory board of the Birmingham club to leverage his wealth of leadership experience and expertise to contribute significantly across various facets of the club.
Brady reveals way to overcome mental health issues
In the final chapters of his unprecedented 23-year NFL career, Tom Brady faced not only the relentless pressures on the field but also the challenges of personal turmoil. The conclusion of his 13-year marriage to Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen in 2022 marked a significant off-field struggle, attributed to differences over Brady’s decision to extend his NFL journey.
Amidst the on-field pressures and personal setbacks, the 46-year-old quarterback, known for his resilience, turned to a powerful source of support—mental conditioning. Brady revealed that a book by Indian psychiatrist Uma Naidoo, titled ‘Calm Your Mind With Food,’ played a pivotal role in enhancing his mental well-being during this challenging phase.
Expressing gratitude on Instagram, Brady acknowledged the positive impact of the book, emphasizing its contribution to his mental health and performance.
“A great book, with a great approach to mental wellness through diet. Something we can all use to improve our lives,” Brady wrote in the caption.
As reported by Marca, the book seamlessly integrates with Tom Brady’s TB12 Method, a comprehensive lifestyle approach co-developed with his personal trainer, Alex Guerrero. The methodology places a strong focus on pliability training, nutrient-rich diets, plant-based nutrition, and optimal hydration practices.
The TB12 Method encapsulates Brady’s dedication to longevity, performance optimization, and maintaining peak physical and mental conditions.
