1/ Tomorrow, @tombrady will play as the starting QB in the @SuperBowl at 43 years old. How has Brady managed to maintain a high level of performance with:

- Over 2 decades in the NFL
- 9 SuperBowls
- Founder of @TB12sports

Recovery and wellness play a major role in his life 👇
2/ Pliability is a key focus for Brady.

Pliable muscles are long, soft and resilient. He works w/ his body coach, @AGuerreroTB12 to reduce injuries & tension in his muscles through pliability work.

Brady credits pliability for his longevity in football.
3/ He prioritizes sleep.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects to Brady’s recovery, and he’s a vocal advocate for getting quality sleep every night. He goes to bed around 8:30pm and wakes up at 5:50am to do his morning workout (NFL schedule permitting).
4/ He believes that everything you put into your body affects your performance.

As outlined in his @TB12 book, Brady consumes no white sugar, flour or MSGs. He cooks w/ coconut oil and never uses iodized salt. He refrains from caffeine, dairy and anything inflammatory.
5/ He limits mental "inflammation" through mindful practices.

Negative thoughts can “inflame” the mind & lead to a lowered mental acuity. Brady believes that a positive mindset has a direct correlation to how your body performs, so he reduces negativity anyway he can.
6/ He uses mental games to stay sharp.

Brady acknowledges he might never be the fastest player in the league, but his mental game is his unfair advantage. He practices mental games 5-10 minutes everyday to improve his precision & reaction times on the field
