Tom Brady is a master motivator even when it comes to his marriage

Appearing on “The Howard Stern Show” this week, Bucs QB Tom Brady talked about the marital struggles he and his wife endured years ago.

Tom Brady has made a name for himself by being a master motivator, taking even the slightest grudge and turning it into bulletin board material. It’s what helped turn Brady from an afterthought and sixth-round pick into the greatest quarterback of all time.

With nine Super Bowl appearances, six Super Bowl titles, four Super Bowl MVPs and three regular season MVP awards, it’s hard to argue that there’s ever been a better player at the position.

But, it turns out Brady isn’t just a master motivator when it comes to football. He’s a master motivator when it comes to his marriage, too. Appearing on The Howard Stern Show this week, Brady talked about his departure from the Patriots, but also revealed a bit about his marriage to supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Brady said Gisele wrote him a note two years ago saying she was unhappy with their marriage.

Per Brady:

“There was a couple years ago, she didn’t feel I was doing my part for the family. She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all the sudden when the season would end, that I’d be like, ‘Great, let me get into all my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.’ And she’s sitting there going, ‘Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?’ I had to check myself. Because she was like, ‘I have my goals and dreams too.’”

It was a very interesting reveal by Brady, and one that further proves that even athletes and famous people have problems like the rest of us. Brady said he still keeps the note and reads it to this day.

And, this tweet perfectly sums up the competitor that Brady is.
