Since leaving the game, Gronkowski has undergone a special nutrition program, physical therapy, training and, yes, puzzles.
“It just lowered my stress levels just the way, you know, I was feeling,” Gronkowski said of puzzles. “I just, you know, just always anxious, always going. And I just needed to finally find some downtime to just relax.”
The puzzles, he said, also help his mental recovery: “Just started improving my, you know, problem-solving skills, too, on top of it. It was crazy. My brain was just clicking. It was just going. It was all on wheels.”
He’s seen progress in his health with this program. Gronkowski said that, looking at pictures from seven months ago, his head was swollen.
Does he ever think of the damage playing football may have done to his brain and body? “I’m not sitting here every day – I’m waking up and feeling unbelievable,” he said. “But I’m saying, like, from where I was, I’m improving a lot every week, and if I stay on the right track, I keep improving.”
