Tom Brady still has the energy of a teenager

He told People: "The quality of life in Florida is just really nice. It's all the outdoor activities that I love the most. Being on the water is great. I live on a golf course, and I love just being able to get out there, even if it's for 20 minutes, just chipping a few balls.

"I have to be really active.

"I'm still like a 14-year-old boy, I've just got all this energy, so I'll just go hit a few shots on the course, and then come home and swim in the pool, and then work out, and then the kids come home and we play volleyball in the backyard."

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star - who also has son Jack, 16, with Bridget Moynahan - explained that staying in shape is "so important" to him and he wants to be able to keep up with things even after finishing in sport.

He said: "I had 28 years of really intense physical conditioning, so that never gets too far away from me. My physical body is so important to me. I relied on it so long to perform, and I still do because I love being active. So it's like when I'm with my kids, I want to be skiing with them. I want to be on the boards, I want to be surfing with them. I want to golf, and if my son wants to go play basketball, I want to go play basketball with him."
