Tom Brady has revealed that his 13-year-old daughter Vivian might be following in his athletic footsteps—potentially all the way to the Olympic Games.
The former NFL quarterback shared a video on Instagram showing himself practicing volleyball with Vivian in their backyard, captioning the post: "Saturday nights with my future Olympian. I think I finally found someone who likes practice more than I did."
In the clip, Brady and his daughter volley the ball back and forth while music plays and one of their dogs runs through the frame. Vivian initially sets up the phone to record but Brady has to adjust it when he notices a plant blocking the view. The practice session ends with a warm hug between father and daughter.
Soccer icon David Beckham was among those impressed, commenting: "You met your match and [then] some."
Brady has previously praised Vivian's dedication, writing on her birthday in December: "I’m so proud of you and how hard you work in school and in your sports. You put your heart into everything you do."
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has also discussed his discreet approach to attending his children's sporting events to avoid becoming a distraction.
"I always—especially when I go to the opposing schools—[wear] the hat, hoodie, [and sit] as far down, as far away from every other parent," Brady explained during a March appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "Because you just want the attention focused on the kids, and that's where it should be."
Brady shares Vivian and 16-year-old son Benjamin with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, and has 18-year-old son Jack from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
