Tom Brady’s Trainer Weighs In On Whether The QB Can Last Two More Seasons

Tom Brady and trainer Alex Guerrero have enjoyed a lot of success. And Guerrero has been credited with being able to have Brady’s body in shape to stand the test of time better than any quarterback before him.

With Brady set to play in his age-44 season this year, Alex Guerrero revealed that the goal for the quarterback has always bee for him to play until he’s 45-years-old.

“When we first got together and I asked him how long he wanted to play for, he said, ‘to 45,’” Guerrero recalled. “I said, ‘Great, that’s what we’re doing.’ I think the biggest accomplishment from me will come probably if we make it through age 45 because that’s what his goal was. That will probably be the proudest moment for me, to say, ‘Hey, we actually did it.’

“I know from my perspective that I want to honor my promise to him in helping him with his goal. If his goal changes, no problem. If he says, ‘Hey, I think I’m going to call it a day,’ then great. No problem. I will 100 percent support that.”

Alex Guerrero would go on to say that even though him and Tom Brady’s goal has always been to get him to play through his age-45 season, he has always thought the he would have Tom ready to play longer than that, just in case.

“In my mind, I’m trying to prepare him to be able to do that. I thought about this year two years ago. I try to keep his body three years ahead of where we’re going to be. I’m thinking about not just next year, but, ‘What if he feels so good at 45 he wants to play to 46?’ I don’t know, so I’d better plan! I better plan to think about how I need to get his body prepared for 46 or 47. I don’t know.”

It looks like it’s a pretty good bet that Tom Brady will play two more seasons in the NFL. Conveniently, his contract with the Buccaneers expires after next season.

But who knows, he might decide he wants to play even longer if he remains in peak physical condition after his age-45 season. It’s hard to fathom that scenario, but who are we to doubt Tom Brady and Alex Guerrero?
