Tom Brady's 13-Year-Old Daughter Is Already Built Different, and He's Not Shy About It

Tom Brady just dropped some adorable backyard footage that has the internet talking, and honestly, the athletic genes in that family are no joke. The seven-time Super Bowl champ shared a video this week of himself and his daughter Vivian, 13, going back and forth on the volleyball court at night. She's jumping, diving, making every shot. Brady was so impressed he called her a "future Olympian" right there in the caption.

"Saturday nights with my future Olympian," he wrote, and the video shows him shirtless in black running shorts, hitting volleys with his daughter in the backyard. But here's what really stood out: Brady's comments about her competitive fire. He joked that "I think I finally found someone who likes practice more than I did" with a laughing emoji. For a guy who built his legacy on obsessive preparation, that's saying something.

The Olympics Are Finally Getting Flag Football, But Don't Expect Brady

Here's where it gets interesting for the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA. Flag football is officially being added to the Olympic program for the first time ever. Two events are happening: one for men, one for women. The International Olympic Committee approved it back in October 2023 to reflect how much the sport has grown globally. It'll be non-contact, five-on-five, played on a 70-yard field.

So naturally, people asked Brady if he'd compete. His answer was flat out no. "No," he told Olympics.com last month when asked at the inaugural Flag Football Classic. The guy's 48 now, and he's not about to suit up for the medal stand.

But Brady Isn't Done With the Sport

Don't mistake his "no" for stepping away completely though. Brady made it clear he's still all in on growing flag football and supporting Team USA. "If there's any role I can play, I'd love to obviously be supporting it," he said. "I'd love to see the American team win it all."

So while you won't see Brady throwing touchdowns in LA28, his competitive DNA is clearly being passed down. And based on that volleyball footage, his daughter's got the same drive he does. Vivian's got something special brewing in that backyard.
