What motivates Tom Brady? His teammates.
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ Super Bowl champion and current G.O.A.T. Tom Brady, spoke on Logan Paul’s podcast— “IMPAULSIVE.”
Among other things, Brady was asked about mentors he had and the motivation they have provided for him. He started with family members as well past coaches, however, Brady followed his standard answer with a more uinque insight into the motivation of the seven time champion.
He noted he didn’t just pull motivation from mentors, many times it came via the teammates Brady shared the field with. Brady diagramed a list of teammates that he deemed “motivators” from his playing career, starting from his early days in New England and working to his career’s finish in Tampa. He began with Patriots’ legends like Rodney Harrison, Ty Law, and Randy Moss. After which, he mentioned some teammates from his Tampa Bay tenure— Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski (who could count as a Patriot legend as well).
In his own words, Brady said, “You could look at football as a sport, but to me, it was all about relationships and teammates… I have my teammates who are my motivators, and I didn’t want to let those guys down… And it was a lot of those [guys like] Rodney Harrison and Ty Law and Kevin Faulk and Randy Moss and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and ‘Gronk’ and Julian [Edelman].”
