The Iron Joe Thomas – A Perfect Blend of Strength and Creativity

The role of the BODY Component in sports

Every profession requires a different set of talents; therefore, Five Elements charts always reflect these abilities flawlessly.

In American Football, we usually see three prominent Character Components. Leaders on the field, like Tom Brady, typically have a very active POWER Component combined with CREATIVITY. But in an aggressive sport like American Football, the BODY component is key; it provides them with stamina and competitiveness.

Joe Thomas is one of the most well-known NFL players, famous for his incredible stamina and creative skills, a rare blend to come across. His streak of over 10.000 consecutive snaps, which lasted for over a decade, was ended a few days ago after the triceps injury. To last that long, in one of the most injury-prone sports, it’s almost a miracle, so we decided to have a look.

The flooded chart

“Iron” Joe Thomas was born as a Yang Water Master Element, and his chart mainly consists of Water and Wood Element. The Earth Element is fragile, while Metal here supports Water.

The strong Water Element here is a clear indicator that the BODY Component is robust, endowing him with physical power, self-esteem, and competitiveness.

Strong Wood grants him creative ability and intelligence on the field through the Performer and Artist Talents.

He has one compelling chart when it comes to competitive sports. A strong BODY is a foundation for every athlete, it protects them from injuries, and provides stamina. On a mental level, it gives them the courage to face the opponent.

Water occupies over 55% of his chart, and ordinarily, such an excess would be problematic, but sturdy Wood turns it into a creative force, making this chart highly productive.

So some of you probably wonder why he got injured now? There are many factors at play, but one of the main ones is that, since 2014, he has been in an intense Yin Wood period, and this year brings an intense Yin Metal period. Both elements hurt his Yin Water, which represents his BODY; therefore, he was more prone to injuries than usual.

No doubt he will be back on the field soon; a few months’ break is good for him so that he can skip the rest of this problematic year.
