Introduction

America has many role models that can serve as examples for us to look up to, but undoubtedly one of the most enduring kind of role model is the athlete.

An athlete, first of all, is someone who has to exercise extreme discipline to stick to a regime that will keep their body in top shape. They have to push themselves far beyond the physical limits of what most human bodies can achieve and they have to do it nearly every day, for hours. For athletes, it’s not just about being good or even great—in a world based more heavily on competition than almost any other profession, it’s about being the best.

But more than that, in a world where the eyes of nearly everyone are on an athlete, an athlete has to be a role model as well. They have to be constantly aware of how they present themselves and how their behavior reflects upon not only themselves, but upon their team and home town.

Great athletes are not only amazing players, but amazing people who can show in their behavior and reaching out to others how people should behave. They give back to others and to their community and use their celebrity status wisely.

And of course, a great athlete is also one that has demonstrated his or her excellence in their sport, one that time and again wins the competitions, the playoffs, the championships. It’s rare to find an athlete that can repeatedly bring their team to the heights of glory and win them a top spot over and over again, especially in modern times, as sports are pushed to ever farther lengths and ever greater feats.

To find an athlete that has all of these attributes is rare. An athlete that shows personal excellence, that gives back, that is a good role model and is an example of the best in their sport, an athlete that brings their team or themselves to first place again and again—it’s harder to find than one might think. Tom Brady, an American football quarterback, has managed to be all of these.

But who is Tom Brady, exactly? What are his achievements? If you’ve heard him praised by his fans, then you probably know that he’s a big deal in football, but why? And how? This book explains not only who Tom Brady is and why he’s so beloved, but details his many achievements and how he became a national icon, a symbol of football, and a role model in both character and sports.
