Tom Brady is an iconic star. The NFL legend is casual and concerned about events surrounding him, both personal and professional. On Monday’s episode of ‘Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray’, the GOAT shed light on various topics.
Interestingly, the Bucs QB spoke about maintaining a balance between sports and personal life. The 45-year-old also explained some of his parenting roles. “You can’t stop your life even though sports are happening. Even though I’m playing in my 23rd year, I have a freshman in high school that is playing football, too. I have a 12-year-old that is going through his life. I have a 9-year-old that is going through her life. And I have parents,” said Tom Brady.

Brady has three children, Jack, 15, Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9. He likes to be their Super Dad, and it is that innate desire to raise his kids well, that once forced the GOAT to retire from his favorite sport. While talking about it, the legend added he has a hard time setting his priorities straight.
