On the TunneySide of Sports January 13, 2020 #778 Up next… The G.O.A.T.
After further review… He wondered if he was good enough and considered dropping out. He met with the head coach who advised him to focus on himself instead of the competition. He decided to stay. He got up at six A.M. and began running the bleachers.
He went to a meeting room and watched game film where he studied every position memorizing each player’s responsibility as well as studying schemes and game formations.
He was a backup quarterback to Brian Griese. When Griese graduated, Tom Brady, thought to be the starting quarterback for the Wolverines but became (again) backup to Drew Henson. In the 2000 NFL draft, the New England Patriots drafted Brady in the sixth round at number 199th.
At the New England training camp in 2000, Brady was the 4th quarterback playing behind Drew Bledsoe, John Friesz and Michael Bishop, but soon replaced Bledsoe who became injured. Brady became the Patriots starting quarterback and never has been replaced as a starter since.
Will you focus on how you can become better by putting in extra time and effort?
