Tom Brady Addresses Athletes Who Retired Early Due to Injuries: “Their Body Says No, But Their Brain Says Yes”

Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is coming off his departure and comeback, which happened just under two months. Now, he is raring for yet another season. The 44-year-old quarterback announces his departure from the NFL in February. But, after some time to contemplate, he commits to another campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just a few weeks ago. However, a return comes with some amount of challenges, and Brady is very much driven for his upcoming season.

An athletes’ retirement can be a difficult balancing act between waiting for the perfect moment and having it put on them. Tom Brady has suffered a lot of ailments that could force him to retire early. While he says he plans to spend time with his family after retiring, there’s no disputing that ailments can influence a player’s future.

Warriors do not retire from their brains

Tom Brady appears for an interview with People.com. He refers to athletes who are contemplating retirement attributable to the injury. Even those who are lucky enough to survive critical injuries and have a distinguished tenure will inevitably encounter rock bottom. Then it’s just a matter of believing actuality.

He acknowledges, “I think for most athletes, what happens is their body says no, but their brain says yes. And then ultimately their brain says no because their body says no.”

Brady may have been in the same circumstance as the one described earlier. He still is playing at the top level, and he credits his endurance and skill to defy expectations as an athlete to Alex Guerrero, his longstanding physique trainer, and TB12 co-founder. As a result, he will play for the 23rd consecutive season.

Will Tom Brady have the fairytale ending?

Stepping back from a sport isn’t only about identifying the suitable time or reaching a fairytale conclusion, as Tom Brady suggests, but rather about combating each inch of the process.

He threw for a career-high 5,316 yards, 43 touchdowns (second-most in his professional life), and only 12 interceptions last season. Aside from losing 30-27 to the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, the Multi-Time MVP-winning play-caller has been performing at the finest level in his profession.

A more diverse team will surround Tom Brady than in the previous two campaigns, yet most of it appears to be of the same. If his mind and body were not fit for the grind of a League season, or if the squad surrounding him wasn’t poised for yet another run at the Lombardi Trophy, he wouldn’t even have returned out of exile. Tom Brady will have the biggest moments when he wears his cleats and marches into the Raymond James Stadium. After a record-breaking 7 Super Bowl wins, the QB is eyeing an 8th.
