Tom Brady

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of - I wouldn't call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

You never get over losses. I've never gotten over one loss I've had in my career. They always stick with me.

The last person I have ever criticized is an official. They have a tough job to do. Things are happening so quick.

My job is to play quarterback, and I'm going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me.

I'm not really concerned with portraying this tough warrior - I mean, that's part of my job and I take that very seriously. But I don't have anything to hide, and I'm not concerned with what people think.

I'm much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it's certainly not easy.

Everyone does things differently on offense. Everyone's goal is to score points.

You need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day.

I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I'm like, 'C'mon, Tiger!'
