    About this ebook

    The name "Tom Brady" has become synonymous with "champion." The pedigree he carries is extensive – multiple-time Super Bowl winner; recipient of multiple Most Valuable Player awards; multiple nominations to the Pro-Bowl; and an all-around celebrity.

    It wasn't always that way for Brady. He had his fair share of struggles, defeats, failures, and heartaches along the way. From his childhood days of sitting in the bleachers watching the San Francisco 49ers, to riding the bench at his alma mater, to playing fourth string backup on a struggling New England Patriots team.

    Tom Brady is the epitome of perseverance and determination. The struggles he has faced have taught him to be appreciative of what he now has become. This is why Tom Brady has been known as a humble man, a good man, an honest man.

    "Tom Brady: An Unauthorized Biography" chronicles what it took for Brady to become a true champion, starting from his humble upbringing in San Mateo, California, to his most recent loss to the New York Giants during the 2011 NFL season.

      Introduction

      The horn announces that time has run out. The game is over. The fourth quarter has once again come too soon for this proven champion. If only there was more time, time to make one last play, time to throw one more pass. Just a little more time.

      Confetti falls to the ground like brightly colored leaves tossed by the autumn wind. Autumn-colored leaves signify the end of one season, the advent of another. The multicolored confetti marks the end of Brady’s season. Tom Brady sits alone on the field, defeated. The New York Giants rejoice in victory while the New England Patriots suffer the agony of defeat.

      As the Giants celebrate with tears, hugs and joyful bliss, Brady, no stranger to victory, picks himself up off the field. As he walks wearily to the locker room, he remembers being in this painful place before. He recognizes what needs to be done to climb out of this dark place in order to once again step up on the podium in celebration once again.

      He knows he'll return. He knows what needs to be done. He knows he must persevere. He must be determined. He must be patient. He must be champion again.

      Humble Beginnings

      A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart

      -Tom Brady

      At 11:48 AM on August 3, 1977, a windy, gloomy day in San Mateo, California, Thomas Edward Brady, Jr. was brought into the world. At the time, nobody realized that this seven-pound two-ounce baby boy would grow into the six-foot four-inch, 225-pound all-star quarterback and celebrity that everyone knows and loves. No, indeed his childhood start would be a very humble one, revealing the true heart of a champion in order to overcome the average sports talents that individuals of his caliber typically possess.

      Brady was an avid San Francisco 49ers football fan from a very young age. His father, Tom Brady, Sr., and his mother, Galynn, would take young Tom to 49ers games on a regular basis, loading up the family car and drive thirty minutes north from their affluent San Mateo area to Candlestick Park in San Francisco. One of Brady's earliest and fondest memories of those wonderful times was at the young age of three.

      The 49ers were playing in the 1981 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys. For the entire first half, Tom cried because his parents wouldn't get him a giant foam #1 finger to wave in the stands. He doesn't remember anything else from the first half except for that disappointment. By the second half, the level of excitement was too much for Tom to ignore. Even though he didn't understand everything that was happening on the field, he soon forgot all about the foam finger and focused on the game.

      With the fans screaming and cheering, and the feeling of excitement in the air, young Tom knew that something great was happening. He soon zeroed in on one player who seemed to have everyone cheering
