usmagazine.com:

Ready to start a new chapter! Tom Brady is hopeful about what’s next in his life after hanging up his football cleats for good.“I think for me, how it looks going forward, I get to really think about and strategize and try to plan out to the best of my ability,” the retired pro football player, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, June 1, while promoting his partnership with Hertz. “[I’m really looking forward to] finding ways to go out there and challenge myself and try to do the best I could do with these different opportunities.”He continued: “I try to stay pretty busy but just prioritizing the things that mean the most to me ultimately is what it’s about.

So, being with my kids and my family and traveling and doing some different things and experiencing that, and then staying busy with things work-wise, you know, professionally are things that I certainly enjoy.”Brady — who shares son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan and kids Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen — announced earlier this year that he was retiring after more than two decades playing in the NFL.“I had the most amazing 23 years.

It was a dream come true,” the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers athlete gushed on Thursday. “You know, I’ve never imagined playing that long and it went so fast.

I mean, I think back to my first year, there was a lot of things that we did and were lucky to accomplish.”Brady was first drafted by the New England Patriots as their quarterback in 2000, eventually earning a G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) nickname from football lovers as his career took off.
