The Super Bowl; The Day After. Or… How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Brady. Ok, ok. Maybe not love the Brady. Any time an athlete is named the “Greatest Ever,” it undoubtedly sparks debate in the sports community and in most respects, the world at large. This debate can lead to a strong “Love them/Hate them” feeling between people who hold those opinions so close that they’re willing to die on their proverbial hill and lose sight of the facts. While I do enjoy the occasional NFL game, I’m much more a fan of college football, so I haven’t seen many pro games. I admittedly didn’t get to see much of the game while it happened, but through replays and the expert Armchairs, I was able to surmise that Brady walked away with Super Bowl win number 7. Cue the lights!
So, here are the facts.
Whether you love him or hate him, 7 Super Bowl wins is a lot of wins! You may want to sit down for this, but you don’t have to love someone to respect things about him.
I have no personal desire to debate Brady’s GOATness, since there are a lot of factors that go into making someone “Great”. I am more interested in the process. How did this guy go from being 6’th or 7’th in the draft to one of the greatest all time American athletes? How does he get up at 43 years old and play a full contact sport?
Say it with me now… DRIVE.
Do you think Brady slept in and ordered chocolate chip pancakes? NO (although pancakes sound great right now). I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that he woke up at the same time as he does every day and hit the gym. There is no quit with Tom Brady, and that is what is most admirable about him. Forget the football aspect and focus on the facts; this guy delivers better than people half his age.
This got me thinking… “How can I be Tom Brady?”
Seriously though. How can I achieve my 7 Super Bowl wins? How can I alter my process to let my drive move me? What can I do every day to move me to my playoff spot? How can I use Tom Brady’s wins for my own wins?
