Quarterback Tom Brady’s friend, trainer, and business partner Alex Guerrero’s involvement with the Patriots has been a controversial subject over the past year.
Here’s what you need to know about the situation:
How did Brady and Guerrero meet?
Guerrero grew up in California and studied traditional Chinese medicine at the now-defunct Samra University of Oriental Medicine. After earning his degree, he opened his own practice, focusing on sports injury rehabilitation and nutrition, in Los Angeles. Per Brady’s performance guide, The TB12 Method: How to Sustain a Lifetime of Peak Performance, Guerrero began working at his facility in 1996 and soon after started flying across the country to work with specific players.
