Don’t worry aboutTom Brady— he’s doing just fine in his first football-free summer.
As another NFL season quickly approaches, the seven-time Super Bowl champion exclusively talked with PEOPLE about the first summer he’s had to himself since retiring from football after 23 seasons.
“I’m taking it every day just one day at a time,” Brady tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I love my time with my family and trying to get some work things done. I’m still staying pretty busy,” he adds.
The retired quarterback is the father of three. He shares son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 15, with actressBridget Moynahan, and two children with ex-wifeGisele Bündchen— Benjamin Rein, 13, and Vivian Lake, 10.
Brady confirmed he has “a lot” of fun-filled plans with the family this summer, followinghis Grecian getawayearlier this month. “We have some travels coming up, some family vacations,” he says of his upcoming excursions.

“It’s funny, this month is already almost over so they’re almost halfway through the summer and they’re back to school in August,” Brady marvels. Therefore, he says “just spending quality time with them” is his main priority at the moment and in the months that follow.

“I think for us to come here and be here, here for them and to have some fun with them is a great day for us too,” Brady tells PEOPLE exclusively from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami on Tuesday morning. “In the end, the more you do, the more people give back. It’s the way it should be.”
Joining Brady in his charitable endeavor were DJ Khaled and Odell Beckham Jr., who participated with the kids in some epic football drills, likerunning plays and throwing passesduring the event.
“We were having fun. I think I broke a sweat,” Brady admits. “It’s the most footballs I’ve thrown in about eight months.”

The licensed merchandise donated to the kids featured a combination of fan jerseys, t-shirts, hoodies, hats and jackets from participating organizations such as the New England Patriots, Philadelphia 76ers, Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and more.
In fact, Brady recalled a memorable piece of 49ers merch he received as a kid growing up. “I was a big San Francisco 49ers fan,” he tells PEOPLE.
