As Maya continues to succeed with the UCLA Bruins, Brady might no longer be the star athlete in the family. In fact, the Maya seems determined to follow in her uncle's footsteps.
During an interview, Brady's nice went into detail about her uncle's support. After all, someone like Brady supporting women's softball certainly boosted the game and their morale.
“His support is obviously very influential for me. He is a huge factor in my life, so it’s nice to know that he is supporting me. For such a person with such — so many accolades, a male athlete, to support women’s sports is just huge for our game. It’s really cool that he was drawing attention to the World Series in general.”
