What is it with these serial winners? They have a knack for winning, and the thing they are good at, they are a machine in it. Take Patrick Mahomes for example. When he needs to prove it, he becomes like a one-man savior for the Chiefs – 7 game-winning drives and responsible for five 4th-quarter comebacks in the 2024-25 season. He can just feel when the win is up for grabs.
And an apex predator like him doesn’t give charity wins, even for his close ones. In response to his Instagram post on Feb 2 where he tells about his ping-pong talents, Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, commented, “But good thing I can beat you at ping-pong.” To which the defending back-to-back Super Bowl MVP replied, “No chance”. Come on, Mahomes—no need to be blunt about it. But people like him have a saying – Not arrogant, just better.
Do Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes have ping-pong spurring sessions at home? Seems like they need to settle this with a Patrick vs Brittany game. The winner gets bragging rights on Instagram. Weirdly enough, we can’t bet against Patrick, can we? We have seen him on the gridiron. Brittany better have some skills we don’t know about.
Mahomes is special, and that is an established science fact. Moreover, his trainer explained how the QB’s physique works to his advantage.
It’s not abs that make Patrick Mahomes a great QB
We believe that a chiseled torso and a low body fat percentage directly relate to an athlete’s success. Prime example – Cristiano Ronaldo and Novak Djokovic. They are like our go-to examples when we think of the best athletes. But Mahomes’s trainer, Bobby Stroupe, says that thought process is flawed. For him, dad-bod features are what make Mahomes such a good QB.
While working with major league pitchers, Stroupe saw athletes with more body fat and mass were better throwers of the ball. What is a QB required to do? Throw to his wide receivers and tight ends. And we don’t have to tell you what a bullet throw Patrick Mahomes has.

A pitching instructor, Ben Brewster, who sees a similarity between pitchers and quarterbacks as far as throwing is concerned, also sees how the dad bod physique enhances throwing velocity: “If they feel better being 20 percent body fat, there’s no reason they have to be 10 percent body fat.” Definitely, it depends on how they feel about themselves.
Apart from this, according to Stroupe, Mahomes also has a special ability to read momentum and space, which helps him judge the speed and movement of himself and his opponents.
Take all this together, he is just built to be a champion quarterback. And yes, give the credit to the ‘dad bod’. That’s taken him to the footsteps of a never-before-done 3-peat.
