Tom Brady has always mesmerized fans with his incredible performances. His 22-year-old career in the NFL is considered the most successful career in the NFL ever. His resume speaks for itself, and his legacy is considered by many will go untouched for years to come. However, Brady has never been a very physical athlete, yet he has survived in the sport for a long time.

 

If it was not his family time, Brady could have played for even longer, and maybe he even will. But to continue producing insane numbers, though being 44, tells something. It iterates how the perception of the sport has literally changed over the years. As many would argue, football is no longer just about strength, it involves a lot more.

Tom Brady on what women need to know about football

As the sport is continuously evolving, it is important to understand that NFL is equally suited for women as it is for men. And the former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady once pointed it out back in 2013. “It’s not just physical,” Brady said. “It’s very mental, it’s very emotional. There’s quite a bit of studying that goes along with actually getting out on the field and practicing.”

It’s truly the perfect explanation about the sport since it involves a lot of aspects apart from physicality. There is the emotion that drives players to commit. Then there is the mental strength without which not much can be done. The plays are thoroughly studied before it’s finally played.

It’s obvious that in any sport the technicalities of the game overweighs the physicalities. And Tom Brady put it excellently.
