?I Was Always the Younger Brother?: Tom Brady Rates His Three Sisters as ?Better Athletes? in Front of Stunned Millions

The Brady household was never short of athletes, but Tom Brady was never the one who took center stage. Maureen Brady, the eldest of his three sisters was an all-American pitcher in the 1990s. Nancy Brady and Julie Brady, his other two sisters were accomplished basketball and softball players during their teenage years and were named to several All-county and All-League teams.

Despite being into sports from a young age, the star QB did not anticipate that he would steal the spotlight from his three sisters, who were making huge strides as athletes. The young Tommy always found himself in the shadow of his siblings and little did he know that the tables would eventually turn. Brady spilled an almost cinematic story of feeling like a ‘tag-along brother’ to an NFL legend.

Humble beginnings of the GOAT

He once took to Facebook to share an essay he penned back in high school, titled ?The way my sisters influenced Me? where he recounted how he was being referred to as his sisters’ brother rather than being recognized for his own achievements.?Don?t get me wrong, I was very proud of my sisters and love them with all of my heart, but I wished I would be recognized as an individual and not as another ?Brady?.? he wrote.

Interestingly Brady wraps up the essay like this: “And hopefully, just maybe, one-day people will walk up to them and say, ?Aren?t you Tommy?s sister?? or ?Hey where is your brother?? Maybe?..? And the rest is, of course, history.
