One weekend afternoon, Patrick Mahomes decided to spend some time shopping at Whole Foods Market with one of his aides. By the time they finished, it was already past 4 p.m., and both were tired and hungry. Looking for a quick meal, they noticed a small restaurant across the street called The Gourmet Hub. Initially unsure about the quality of the place, they decided to give it a try. Little did Patrick know, this simple decision would change someone’s life forever.
Sandra, a hardworking waitress at The Gourmet Hub, had been working there for months. She was saving money to attend nursing school while also caring for her mother, who was recovering from surgery. Sandra’s warm and cheerful demeanor made her a favorite among customers, often earning her small tokens of appreciation like candles or heartfelt compliments. Despite the challenges she faced, Sandra loved her job because it gave her the chance to connect with people and make their day a little brighter.
That evening, as Sandra began her shift, a commotion outside the restaurant caught everyone’s attention. A crowd had gathered, snapping pictures of someone by a sleek black car. To everyone’s surprise, the person causing the buzz was none other than Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. As he entered the restaurant, the entire place fell silent, and all eyes were on him.
Sandra, nervous but determined, approached Patrick with a warm smile. “Good evening, welcome to The Gourmet Hub. My name is Sandra, and I’ll be your server,” she said.
Patrick smiled back. “Thank you, Sandra. It’s a pleasure to be here.”
Throughout the meal, Sandra’s exceptional service and genuine warmth stood out to Patrick. They engaged in light conversation, and she recommended dishes, ensuring everything was to his liking. As they talked, Patrick learned about Sandra’s dream of becoming a nurse and how she was working tirelessly to save for nursing school while caring for her mother.
When the meal ended, Patrick expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Sandra. Everything was fantastic,” he said with a smile. As she handed him the check, he took his time filling it out, then paused thoughtfully before writing something extra on the receipt.
After Patrick left, Sandra returned to clear the table. When she picked up the receipt, her eyes widened in disbelief. Patrick had left a $300 tip on a $27 bill along with a heartfelt note: “Sandra, your kindness and warmth made my evening truly special. Thank you for being you.”
Tears welled up in Sandra’s eyes as she read the note. Her coworkers gathered around, sharing in her joy and amazement. The gesture was not just about the money; it was about feeling seen and appreciated.
Later that evening, as Sandra walked home, she passed by a park and noticed an elderly man struggling with heavy grocery bags. Without hesitation, she offered to help him carry them to his apartment. Along the way, they shared stories, and the man’s gratitude touched her deeply. “You’re a kind soul,” he said. “The world needs more people like you.”
The next day, Sandra visited her mother at the care facility, sharing the story of Patrick’s generosity and the elderly man she had helped. Her mother smiled and said, “Always hold on to kindness, sweetheart. It’s what makes the world better.”
Weeks later, Sandra received a letter of acceptance into the nursing program she had applied to. Overjoyed, she shared the news with her coworkers at The Gourmet Hub. They celebrated her success with a heartfelt dinner, where Sandra raised a toast. “Here’s to kindness,” she said, her voice full of emotion. “May we all keep sharing it.”
Sandra’s journey didn’t end there. Balancing work and studies, she continued to serve at the restaurant, always carrying the lessons she had learned. Her experience with Patrick Mahomes and the countless acts of kindness she both received and gave shaped her into a compassionate and determined individual, ready to make a difference in the world as a nurse.

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.ư
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.
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.
