What is Patrick Mahomes' training routine?
Patrick Mahomes revealed his training routine in an interview with CNBC in 2021 and how he tries to stay in shape for his family, including his children, daughter Sterling Skye Mahomes and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavone Mahomes III, and his wife, Brittany Matthews.
“All of it’s extremely important. But I would say the training, to me, has always been the thing that I’ve loved the most. I mean not only playing and going out there and practicing, but waking up every single day and getting in a workout in or getting in my [recovery] therapy,” he said.
“If I don’t do it, I don’t feel like I really completed my day. I’m big on waking up early and doing it in the morning. I usually wake up at 6 or 7 in the morning and go get a workout or get therapy. Then I go home and take care of my body which is a sauna, ice bath or hot tub, stretching or massages.”
He continued, “I make sure to get up to get that all done so I can be around my family and be a dad and do whatever I can to have time for myself to relax. [As for nutrition], I don’t have to be a certain weight, so I can kind of be who I am. As we close this season, I’ll cut back and try to figure out ways to tone down as much as possible so I can be faster. [In the off-season], I still get a workout in every day and get my therapy in or rehab. But I’m able to be more relaxed and have a little more time where I can golf or I can go on vacation and kind of get my mind off of [things].”
He also told the site about his game-day mindset. “Love the game that you’re playing and leave everything you have on that field because you’ve put in that work and that time with the guys that you’re playing with,” he said. “You want to make sure that you’re giving everything that you have every single time that you’re out there. Because you never know — it could be your last. They usually change rosters pretty drastically every single year, so you want to make sure that you’re enjoying every single moment that you have those guys on the team.”
He continued, “When you’re out there on the field, there are so many things going on. You have to focus on just a [few] things because your brain can only handle so much. So no matter what the situation is, you have to make sure that you’re focused on the five to six things that can help impact the play in the best way possible. I feel like the score of the game, a lot of times, isn’t one of those things you can focus on. All you can focus on is having a successful play of that play. And then once that plays over, no matter if it was good or bad, you have to do it again.”
Mahomes also explained to CNBC about why he views defeat as a positive and how he learns from his mistakes. “When you lose on a football field or if you invest in a company that doesn’t work out, or whatever it is, I think that helps you out more because it drives you to learn from your mistakes,” he said. “It drives you to be better the next time. I just continue to try to make myself better. I think that’s been the biggest thing that I’ve done my entire life: No matter the success or the failure that I have the previous season, I just try to continue to make myself better every single day. That’s all you can do. If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s true.”

The best-selling book delves into the history of the first Super Bowl, which was originally known as the AFL-NFL Championship Game. (The term “Super Bowl” was coined only in its third year.) The debut game, between the winning Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, was played in front of only 61,946 people at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—an audience well below the stadium’s capacity. Harvey Frommer, a sports historian and reporter, puts the tale of that momentous game together using oral history, gathered by hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, media and spectators alike.
