Tom Brady can still play at a high level because......

No doubt it all of this is a factor

yup. HUGE factor.. We reap what we sow. It takes behavioural changes to 'stay young'. It's NOT just genetics, lol, hardly. Many just look for a pill to 'get healthy', ....lazy N American culture.

Kudos to these elite older athletes- Federer, Brady, Woods, Ronaldo.. etc....... that still play at an elite level despite advanced sporting age. It should be inspirational to the masses.

I give them mad props, however, a lot more people could do this if they had access to the best personal trainers, chefs, and doctors. Consistency is key, and it's way easier to eat, train, and recover when all you gotta do is show up...

Hell, I'd like to think I'm in as good a shape as anyone here, however, if someone would come meal prep for me and keep me consistent with it, I'd get better results than I already do...

no doubt, MattyMatt. They have the adv that gross monies bring. But as you note, we ALL have choices to make. Excuses is a choice as well

Exactly. It's harder for the average guy to stay fit than a world class athlete staying competitive.

Eating right, gym, is something you have to find time for on top of the pesky thing white people go to called a JOB combined with actually sticking around when our kids are born and being a family

Even college athletes have it made. Hang out at the complex all day and get free protein bars/drinks/food. And its a lock you are going to not flunk out and graduate

Matty is right but so many other athletes choose to not make this choice of health and longevity and that speaks to tom bradys competitiveness. For all he has accomplished he still puts in all the time and effort into every aspect of his training to remain the best...i think thats pretty incredible considering once you get rich, win six super models and marry a supermodel wife why the hell wouldn't you kick back and start drinking beer and eating steaks....i can guarantee that if i were in his position it would be kick back and enjoy it time.

Hell some athletes start living like slobs the minute they are drafted
