The ascent to prominence of Patrick Mahomes has not been easy. There have been doubters about the quarterback ever since he defeated the San Francisco 49ers in his first Super Bowl. But according to his wife Brittany, these “critics” end up inspiring the quarterback.
Brittany Mahomes discussed her relationship, children, and work during an interview with the WHOOP podcast. She specifically mentioned the reprimand that Patrick Mahomes received during the rapid-fire round. As Brittany disclosed: “I mean if it is like pretty bad and he is annoyed with it, he tries to stay off of it. But, sometimes he does yeah use it as his motivation, for sure.”
This followed the co-owner of KC Current’s admission that she listens to football criticism. When a significant topic is being discussed, Brittany occasionally makes sure Patrick is aware of it.

This is because the signal-caller uses the criticism as motivation to improve. The host went on to inquire as to whether this indicates that Patrick Mahomes finds inspiration in such knowledge, in contrast to many athletes who shun such stories about themselves. Brittany affirmed the claim, describing it as “true.”
Will Ahmed, the interviewer, had earlier noted that the quarterback was subjected to far more criticism than normal during the previous season. In response to this assertion, Brittany said: “Yeah and I don’t think he listened to any of it. I don’t think any of that matters to him. It was him focusing on himself and what could he do better as a leader, how could he get better.”
Mahomes has used this strategy to cope with strong criticism. The three-time Super Bowl champion also gave his wife advice on how to handle haters on social media.
According to Brittany, Patrick advised her to disregard the opinions of others, particularly those who are unfamiliar with the SI model.
