When youâve won six Super Bowl rings as a starter and multiple Super Bowl MVPs, as well as broken countless NFL records, you could argue that you have nothing to prove. Then again, Tom Brady doesnât feel that way.
Brady is perhaps the most accommplished football player of all time. Moreover, heâs deemed as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game, so itâs not like heâs won his Vince Lombardi trophies just by chance.
Nonetheless, it seems like his haters are still his biggest source of motivation, as he recently revealed that he was still driven by criticismduring his first year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tom Brady Says He Was Still Motivated By His Haters Last Year
âI was always kind of motivated by people that say âyou canât do it, youâre not good enough, youâre not fast enough, not big enough, donât have a good enough armâ. Iâve had a body of work over a period of time, so you know, you just say, hey, quickly you forget. I think thatâs a great part about football. Itâs not really about what you did last year, itâs kind of what youâre going to do this year, so for me, it was what I was going to do for the Bucs last year.I still feel that way,â Brady told Michael Strahan of Good Morning Americain an interview.
Well, itâs pretty obvious that Brady did a hell of a job of silencing his doubters and those who called him a system quarterback. He led a team that had missed the playoffs one year earlier all the way to the Super Bowl, while the New England Patriots didnât even make the postseason.
Hopefully, this time people will know better than to call out or doubt Tom Brady once and for all. When his haters finally start acknowledging his greatness then maybe, just maybe heâll be ready to call it quits.
