"I hope he finds the things in his life that allow him to get up every day to be internally motivated to work hard at something he loves to do," Brady said. "I don’t think football . . . a lot of it, I wouldn’t choose for him to do that, because there’s too many crazy expectations that people would put on him. Most of them probably very unfair, actually.
"So, whatever path he chooses in life – or my son Benny or my daughter Vivi – whatever they choose, I’m there to support them, just like my dad supported me. I was very lucky to find something that I loved to do."

"I think that’s what we as parents should do," Brady continued. "We should support our children’s dreams, whatever it may be, it doesn’t need to be sports," Brady said. "It could be whatever. It could be performing arts, it could be music, it could be science, it could be law, it could be medicine. So, I think that’s part of being a parent, is supporting your kids’ dreams."
Brady retired from football in February for the second time after 23 NFL seasons, winning seven Super Bowls as a member of the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady reiterated this week that his football career has ended as speculation that he could potentially play for the Las Vegas Raiders next season amid a surge of concerns surrounding Jimmy Garoppolo has swirled.
"I’m certain I’m not playing again," Brady said in an interview with "SI Now."
"I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that because I’ve already told people that lots of times."
