Adrenaline pulsing through my body and anxiety filling up in my stomach, I quickly throw on my football gear and head out to the practice field. It’s a nice hot day in Ocala, Florida, with the sun beating down on our necks, we stand side by side in line waiting to be picked to play second, third, or fourth string in a play. Waiting in anticipation, each of us grinding our teeth, watching first string pure athletes colliding against each other like gladiators to have possession of a ball made at one-time of “pig’s skin”. To some people, the game of American football makes no sense, whether it’s the idea of trying to protect a ball or running and passing it to make a goal for your team. People like this, see the concept of football and understand why millions of people love it; but to them the sport is pointless and causes way too many casualties. Coming from the most us who love the sport, it’s not the worry of getting hurt that you mainly

In the 80’s and 90’s the san francisco 49ers won a total of five super bowls under Joe montana and steve young. Over the span of two decades this team dominated its competition from montana to young, there seemed to be a steady rate of success through the years. This success caught the attention of a young boy by the name of Tom Brady who idolized the legendary Joe Montana and inspired him to become the quarterback he is today. But just as montana was replaced by a younger Steve Young we are faced with the same predicament in the aging Brady and the younger, fresher Garoppolo.

Breaking over 9 Quarter Back records, and potentially various more in the future, people either hate or love New England Patriot Quarter Back, Tom Brady. Generally speaking, there is no between. The real question is: "to hate or not to hate" this record-breaking beast, with 4 Super Bowl rings on his hand. Simple; not to hate.

Tom Brady is the greatest football player to ever play the game. This might sound like an opinion, but there are so many facts following from here that it’s basically a true statement that Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T. If you don’t know what G.O.A.T means, well it means that he is just the Greatest Of All Time. It takes a lot to say he is because there are so many other incredible players that have played the sport of football, but none of them are at Tom Brady’s level. He might not be the most jacked guy, but he doesn’t need to be, he is a true leader and mentally a great athlete. It takes a lot of work to have the smarts and throw a football knowing you could be knocked out by a 300-pound grown man coming full speed at you. Either way, he still gets the perfect spiral right into the hands of a receiver. These are the words of Patriots defensive lineman teammate Chris Long "He's the king of the petting zoo. There are other GOATs and other farm animals, but he's like the biggest GOAT." It’s not like every player gets to win 5 Super Bowls.

Tom Brady is considered as one of the top quarterback in NFL history. Why not? Afterall Brady has won four Super Bowl championships and two MVP Awards with his association in the New England Patriots.

One trait would be commitment, he was known to watch game film before and after practice his whole career. Another trait he exhibits is being humble. Peyton Manning was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, yet his entire career he acted like just a normal guy. He was relatable for fans and other players, and this helped him be a better leader. He also demanded excellence out of himself and his teammates. After any loss his team suffered, he would admit his mistakes and not try and blame others. Another trait would be resilience. Even after he suffered a painful neck injury that required surgery and was let go by the Indianapolis colts, he kept going. Eventually he was signed by the Denver Broncos, and won Super Bowl 50 in his last year playing football. (Campbell)

The National Football League (NFL) is a league where world class athletes and competitors take the field each and every fall to showcase their talents for the world. Maybe one of the most important and skilled positions on a football team is the quarterback. There have been many great quarterbacks that have played in the NFL, from Joe Montana to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Each one of these great quarterbacks have lead their teams to multiple Super Bowl victories. Most recently, Tom Brady played in his seventh Super Bowl and won his fifth Super Bowl ring (“Tom Brady Biography”). There have been many great quarterbacks, but Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football.

Today, athletes are viewed as iconic models and mentors for the aspiring generation of athletes hoping to eventually be at the professional league at a moment in their careers. According to Brady, he has kept his team at the national spotlight for six years. Star-studded and Olympic Gold Medalist Mia Hamm has accomplished many achievements over the years as an athlete for the United States Women’s National Soccer Team. Mia Hamm and Tom Brady have similarities and differences as types of athletes in our world today. I believe they can be compared and contrasted in three ways. We can discuss them for their dedication, commitment, and ability to handle criticism on and off the field.

Some call Tom Brady the greatest quarterback of all-time while others see him as a villain, and a cheater. Tom Brady is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks due to his accomplishments, one of the biggest being his five Super Bowl championship rings. However forever staining his resume, he was proven guilty by The United States Second Court of Appeals for his part in “Deflategate”. Deflategate was comprised of an attempt to lower the P.S.I in the footballs the Patriots used in the AFC championship game against the Colts in 2015, and the cover-up that followed. Lowering the P.S.I in the Patriots footballs “made it easier for Tom Brady to throw the football”, and also “easier for his receivers to catch it”(Deflategate). Tom Brady addressed the media following the allegations claiming he had no knowledge of the deflated footballs, yet many were skeptical that a seasoned NFL veteran quarterback

People should always have someone they look up to. Most people look up to celebrities or their parents. Having a role model can be good for many people. They can help you through many times in your life.

I chose Tom Brady as my manager for this project. I picked Tom Brady because he is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and he is very successful off the field in his business. I believe that Tom Brady is one of the greatest leaders of all time. Even though I am not a Patriots fan I still admire him. I admire how he was a late draft pick and no one believed in him. Or how he had an awful combine and was really weak and small. I think Tom Brady is one of the greatest leaders and hardest working athletes that I know.

The sport I chose to observe was college football. I decided to chose this sport because football is a sport my family enjoys to watch. Also I enjoy watching football more than any other sport because there is so much that could happen, in football many unexpecting plays could happen, and each game is different than the last one. The game I chose to watch was a college football game between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Miami that took place at the University of Miami on Saturday, November 11, 2017. The game started with Miami kicking the ball to Notre Dame. The first touchdown was 2nd down and goal it was Miami’s ball and player 8 on Miami’s team caught the ball in the endzone. Then Miami made the extra point kick making the score Miami 7-0. In the first quarter 3rd down and 6

As a little boy I had big dreams of playing football. When I was walking in the halls of the intermediate and middle school and saw the high school football players with their jerseys on, they were like super stars. I looked up to them because I wanted to be like them. The high school football players were popular, they were happy, and they were important to the school. Going to the football games on Friday nights was the highlight of my week. I told my mom that I wanted to be out there one day and she would be my biggest fan and cheer me on to victory. She said “ Sure Connor, but you go a few more years to go.” My father was energized for me to play football since he thought I would be incredible at it. My dad saw a future of me go to college playing football and being the first one in my family going to college.
