“He Starts Firing the Ball”: Tom Brady’s Talented Niece Maya Reveals How Her Uncle Nurtured Her Softball Career

Tom Brady is no longer playing football! It has only been a few months since his retirement from the NFL and he has been unwavering in emphasizing his commitment to retirement. His extraordinary skills and accomplishments have inspired young athletes worldwide, including his beloved niece, who has not only found inspiration in TB12 but is also making her mark in the softball league, aiming to create her own legacy.

At 22 years old, Maya Brady has achieved tremendous success, even being named the Softball America freshman of the year. Her remarkable athletic abilities have caught the attention of the sports industry, leading her to join UCLA. She has attributed much of her success to her dear uncle, considering him as a significant source of inspiration.

Maya was dubbed better than Tom Brady

The interview, conducted by ‘Togethxr,’ prominently featured Maya and her mother. Maya began by mentioning her mother’s involvement in softball and then revealed that one of her uncles played in the MLB, while the other played in the NFL. A few minutes later, she highlighted how sports and competitiveness are integral parts of her family, a sentiment her mother agreed with, and added, “I do think it does, it is a little bit genetic.”

Maya then fondly recalled a memorable moment when their entire family engaged in a spirited dodgeball competition. The video captured TB12 and her uncle Kevin actively participating. The 7x Super Bowl champ, renowned for his arm strength, energetically threw balls at Maya, who can also be seen returning the throws just as hard. She explained by adding, “So he starts firing the ball at me. So I start throwing back at him.” A few comments were also seen being added to the video, where users can be seen praising Maya for her power throws. One of them even wrote about how Maya has a better arm than Brady.

Expressing her deep admiration, Maya described Brady as more of a father figure than an uncle. Supporting her statement, her mother, Maureen, revealed that Brady is Maya’s godfather and has passionately cheered for him in nine Super Bowls. Maureen further emphasized how Maya has been exposed to TB12’s influence throughout her entire life, learning a multitude of lessons from him.

Maya intends to work just as hard as Brady

Maya expressed how her uncle’s unwavering dedication to the game inspired her. She highlighted how Brady faced criticism for his perceived inadequacy and age, but he chose not to dwell on the negativity and instead thrived at the highest level.

Throughout the video, Maya consistently emphasized that she is an individual athlete with her own aspirations to reach the top. While she doesn’t mind being recognized as TB12’s niece, she prefers to be known simply as ‘Maya Brady.’ Maureen also added how her daughter looks up to Brady and intends to work just as hard.

This 22-year-old softball prodigy has dominated the field, earning the prestigious title of Pac-12 Player of the Year. Her teammates in the video lauded her almost invincible performance on the field, and she consistently proves her exceptional abilities time and time again.
