Town Link Up With Gridiron Legend Brady - Ipswich Town News

Town have become the first UK football club to link up with seven-time NFL Superbowl champion Tom Brady’s wellness brand TB12.

TB12 is a holistic health and wellness company modelled on gridiron legend Brady’s training regimen with long-time body coach Alex Guerrero, the TB12 Method, a series of healthy daily habits based on five pillars: pliability, nutrition, hydration, movement and mental fitness.

Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, spending 20 years with the New England Patriots and still playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the age of 45.

"We’re so grateful to be the first UK football club working in partnership with TB12,” Andy Rolls, the Blues’ director of performance, told the club website.

"Their methods and skillset have benefited the recovery of our players and will play a key role throughout the season and beyond.

"We have been lucky to have body coach Chris Sousa (below) working closely with our players and we look forward to continuing our work with Chris and the team at TB12.”

Inspired by the daily habits Brady and Guerrero have established, focusing on performance and recovery techniques applicable to athletes at all levels and those living an active lifestyle, the TB12 Method is a holistic approach to health and wellness that starts with pliability.

"At TB12, we have a unique opportunity to help reshape the way professional sports teams approach injury prevention and recovery,” Greg Perry, TB12 senior vice-president of services added.

"Our body coaches have broad experience working with many of the world’s best athletes across a variety of sports and levels, and what we’ve done for these athletes is the same thing we do for all of our clients — we help them live pain-free and perform their best with an emphasis on pliability.

"We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the sports medicine team at Ipswich Town, giving them access to TB12 body coaches so they can keep their athletes on the field and give their club an edge over the competition.”

The TB12 body coach is in regular communication with the medical team at Playford Road and also conduct bi-monthly visits to assist in the progress and development of the department.
