The love that fans share for Tom Brady is well-known, and the manner in which people gravitated toward a throwback video of footballing royalty just solidified that fact. Back then the 7-time Super Bowl champion was engaged with the team that drafted him, New England Patriots. A good throwback moment makes us somehow relive the moment again. A similar thing happened when fans saw this video and NFL Twitter was certainly elated.
Having just retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, people were quick to recall some of Brady’s greatest moments and ended up having some fun in the process.

With the successful career that Brady had, he has always been a role model for many of his younger fans. In a video recorded by Brady’s former teammate, who was also working as a teacher at the same time, the MVP reflected back on his “formula” for success.
A baby-faced Brady could be seen coming over for a quick chat, as the conversation quickly turned into a motivational one.
When asked to share a life lesson, Brady said “Always believe in yourself, no matter what anyone ever says, the only thing you control is what you can do about yourself. Hard work and the more you believe in yourself is the more successful you’re going to be”

Self-belief and confidence have to be two of the major driving force behind the immense success that Brady has enjoyed over the years. It is safe to assume that the advice shared by Brady must be something that he himself has followed. With all the doubters that Brady has had to deal with ever since his rookie year, his advice holds true to its core and Brady is the perfect example of that.
