Greg Harden, a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs coaching staff who also worked with Tom Brady, has suddenly passed away.
It was revealed by the University of Michigan that Harden died after complications from surgery, at an undisclosed age.
Harden worked with the Toronto Maple Leafs for the past three years as a peak performance coach. He also helped thousands of athletes, including Tom Brady, J.J. McCarthy, and Michael Phelps, during his time in Michigan, where he worked as a life coach and administrator from 1986 to 2020.
The university released a statement, which read:
"Harden specialized as a mental coach for athletes, coaches, university personnel, executives, and others on the world's biggest stages. That he maintained close personal relationships with so many, even decades after their competitive or working days had ended, reflects the enormous impact of his work on their performance and lives."
The Toronto Maple Leafs also shared a tribute to their late coach:
"Greg was a man with perpetual positivity. He was a source of strength, wisdom, and unwavering support for our entire organization. Our deepest condolences go out to Greg's family and loved ones during this difficult time."
Many other influential people in the sports community paid tribute to Harden, including Tom Brady:
"I'm so sad to hear the news of Greg's passing. I'm heartbroken as he was a dear friend and mentor. There are so many beautiful qualities Greg had that endeared him to so many people over his years at Michigan. He meant the world to me, and I could never have had the success I had without the time, energy, love, and support he had given me. He will be truly missed."
We extend our condolences to his friends and family.
