Tom Brady

You just have to be what most people aren't.

Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.

Integrity, purpose, determination, and discipline that it takes to be a champion in life.

No shortcuts.

It was a tough battle for me.

It was a tough go.

It was tough in high school.

It was really tough in college.

If I want to be the best, I got to beat the best.

And this is where the best are.

that I wasn't the prodigy.

I learned about work ethic.

I learned about resilience.

I learned about gaining the trust and the respect of my teammates and coaches.

I learned about how to dig deep within myself a long way from home without a ton of support to still try to find a way to succeed in this situation that I really wanted to be in because it was the best for me anyway.

Focus on what you can control.

Focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting.

Go out there and treat practice like no one else does.

And I did that every single day.

I didn't care about going to all these different places and doing those things.
