Tom Brady concluded his remarkable NFL career at the age of 45, having played for an unprecedented 23 seasons in professional football.
His extraordinary journey has inspired numerous athletes to emulate his longevity, with stars across various sports striving to train, eat, sleep, and think like the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Patrick Mahomes, the exceptional quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs often considered Brady’s successor, is no exception.
In an episode of the Netflix docu-series “Quarterback,” Mahomes, a two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP, expressed how he recognized the importance of physical maintenance after witnessing Brady’s dominance in the NFL well into his forties.
“People really started recognizing that with Tom Brady,” Mahomes said. “And how much he takes care of his body, and why he’s still playing until he’s 45 years old.”
“To me, I saw that and I was like, ‘I need to take my game to the next level.’
While not yet reaching the level of avocado ice cream as a treat in his diet like Brady, Mahomes has prioritized his diet and nutrition more than before. The 28-year-old consumes four or five meals per day to avoid overeating in one sitting, focusing on fruits, vegetables, and proteins while reducing fast food and fried foods.
Mahomes is also fully dedicated to his fitness regimen. Having worked with his trainer, Bobby Stroupe, since his elementary school days, Mahomes convinced the founder of Athlete Performance Enhancement Center (APEC) to join him in Kansas City and work together full-time.
The pair trains three days a week during the season, in addition to regular practices with the Chiefs, to ensure Mahomes’ body is in peak condition for his best performance on the field.
