“I’m Driven by Enemies” - Tom Brady’s Motivation For 7th Ring - Belichick or Jordan? 

Guy was an absolute machine on the field, his level of focus and precision was insane.

Hated him as a Steelers fan but that man is the best to ever do it.

Tom Brady is definitely the GOAT quarterback. I love his story. He was the 199th pick in the 6th round in the year 2000 which had a total of seven rounds and 254 picks. It's so inspirational, and it proves that it's not how you start but how you finish.

Tom is pure class. The charisma this man has this is what makes him so good. Such a genuine guy. Love how he didnt budge when patrick kept pushing the competitive thing. Hey man not everyone thinks the same. Different things motivate different people. People always wanna talk about the competitive thing cuz of jordan but thats not what motivates tom. Tom is motivated by the process and doing it the right way. Both winners just different way to think.

I feel blessed to have been able to watch him through out his entire career. Undisputable GOAT.

I just recently listened to interview with a former teamate of Tom's that played with him later in his career and his biggest take away when meeting him was how good of a person he was, to everybody. He said he would treat the cleaning people and other people lower on the totum pole as kindly as he did his teammates and coaches. Class act.

PBD's lack or understanding on how many elite athletes get passed the type of competitive spirit for which he assumes Tom has (because he himself has it) shows that he never played sports. If you make your achievements about being better than the other guy or crushing the enemy it will rob your joy and your productivity. It has to be about improving yourself for its own sake, as Tom said, to compete with the person in the mirror, and then allowing the results to come. You also become a team player that considers a rising tide raises all ships. That's why he keeps arguing the point with PBD but PBD just can't get it. The most arrogant jerks in sports make it all about beating others and win or lose, they have no peace.

This title and video is super misleading... Tom Brady literally spends the whole video describing that he's motivated by the process of self improvement and process. He compliments his teammates and what PBD would call 'enemies.' Valuetainment literally puts in quotation a headline that only PBD spoke, "I'm Driven By Enemies," and tries to make it look like Tom Brady said that when literally he not only never said that, but everything Brady said was in complete opposition to that... PBD: "I've gotta ask you this, "What drove you more? Getting one more than Belichick or one more than Michael?" Tom: "It was neither! I promise you! PBD: "I appreciate the answer. But I'm selfish and greedy. I gotta push back. Let me tell you why. Okay, so I'm writing a book that's gonna come out... It's called 'Choose Your Enemies Wisely."... Goes on to promote the book and try to get Brady to comment. "So let's say that's really the reason, Tom... So Belichick or Michael?" Tom: "If Belichik gets another Super Bowl it doesn't take anything away from me... The man in the glass, that's the one that motivated me." PBD: "Here's my interpretation. Having one more than Belichick means more to you than having one more than Michael Jordan. Is that fair?" Tom: "No" and goes on to describe the respect he has for his 'would be enemies.' Valuetainment Headline: "I'm Driven by My Enemies" What???? Brady never says that once in any way, form, or fashion?

You see how different he is. He cant even relate to the low brow ideals. He genuinely doesn't hold judgement in his heart. Impressive human.

You can tell that Tom has been in position of leadership for a very long time . He is a very good speaker and the way he addresses the audience along with Pat…. He tells very good stories as well….

Hardwork, Discipline, Determination..that's what got him where he needed to be.

this legend has an angelic face and demeanor but a demonic competitive drive. Truly an inspiration to every man to better themselves

Brady legitimately loves people and he always gives everyone else credit. I like this about him.

Toms work ethic is second to none. I have followed him from the beginning. I just started watching football and Tom was the underdog coming in as the last picked qb in the draft. I saw the work he put in and when it was his time, he made sure no one was going to take his spot. Even when Belichick wanted a new qb, Tom showed up and always played better than the young gun coming in. He kept winning and somehow the story flipped and somehow people hate him, he barely spoke. Now 7 time champion, 10 time conference champ. Just crazy to think he could've had all 10 rings.

All the years watching Brady, you sorta see him walk on the field and just perform. What you don’t see is the grind to get there.

"I wish to crush the souls of my enemies, to see them driven before me.. to hear the lamentations of their women." Tom Brady Gigachad

Didn't realise how crazy this man can get. I see it now, that's what made him successful.

It’s incredible to see his evolution over the years. This is incredible

Listening to Brady grovel about 18-1 all these years later makes this Giants Fan grin ear-to-ear. Thanks for the memories, Tom!

This is truly a Special Day, one in which multiple people who had something to do with this event look back and appreciate the day they interacted with Tom Brady. 👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

As a lifelong Giants fan who has grown to acknowledge and respect Brady as the GOAT...When he said, "dude caught the ball on his f@#%ing helmet in 2007!" I smiled and laughed so hard at that shit!

The way he talk about the athletic is unbelievable his motivation his passion is outstanding for real.

man. every word from his mouth just comes out right. Can listen to him for hours. True leader.

Mad respect to Tom Brady - a true winners heart and mindset. Also love how he gave a shot out to PBD at the end

In one podcast, Edelman revealed that he (Tom) wasn't looking to surpass Montana's 4 SBs. He was after MJ's record which he eventually surpassed, 7-6. Tom was simply too modest here to admit that. He didn't want to rub it on MJ out of respect for him but the whole world knows what he really had in mind.

The best thing I have seen from the great quarterbacks was two minute drill. Tom Brady is the king of the final drive. When the game is on the line get him the ball.

This is the most laid back I’ve ever seen Brady in an interview. Really cool. Thanks PBD!! 👍

@ 7:05, he mentions the "man in the glass". I think it's a reference to the poem "The Guy in the Glass" by Dale Wimbrow. It's a great read.

Love this guy. Thank you for so many unbelievable years of amazing football. #PATRIOTS4LIFE #TB12 #GOAT Thank you Brady for giving this Patriots fan 20 amazing years. And so glad you won in Tampa ….

Tom Brady is awesome. Showing that one can achieve incredible success while having a more wholesome approach.

I love that he lets the guest speak unlike many interviewers/podcasters. He asks a question and actually listen to the answer….podcasters like Stern and Maher should take note

Great interview from both sides! Well done gentleman and much respect

PBD is really trying to push the enemies narrative

One thing in common. All of them have drive. Regardless of where it's derived from, it's powerful enough to push them to such great heights.

36 years I've lived in Buffalo NY. I couldn't stand TB12 for over a decade. Tom, your an inspiration to ssoo many people. Keep doing you buddy.

Wow.that was cool. It was awesome to hear the passion for all.jus living life to the best.tb one of the best!thanks for many years

Guys, as someone who had many failed businesses and is now running a successful one, this advice about being processed driven vs results driven is absolutely gold. Get a good process going based on what has worked for you, if you win great, if you lose, tweak the process. But don’t get hung up on the goal. That’s why so many people quit.

He's dodging the hell out of that question! He flat out started talking about his body and health. He is the danm GOAT and that can't be denied! I started off not liking him at all. It got to the point where you just couldn't deny his greatness! He's a danm winner and it was an absolute pleasure being able to watch him make history! I've been lucky enough to witness Jordan,Tiger and Tom Brady's greatness, it was so danm awesome seeing it.

Very well spoken and clear.

I hated this man because I was supposed to as an opposing team. But dammit I've always respected this guys drive and motivation. He is the true definition of a champion. Now that he's out of the league it's not the same because I don't know a man with more drive besides Jordan...and Kobe. Win at all cost is a mindset that's not taught.

Tom Brady was a true winner his energy and charisma a true industrious motivated individual so influential 🔥 🔥🔥.

This is amazing. Great lessons for any business. Process and consistency.

I was a Tom hater for awhile, and really just cause he wasnt on my team that i root for. but I've always respected him as one of the greatest player ever and the amount of dedication is respectful

The best quarterback in decades. Without him it’s almost impossible to watch patriots.

Don’t know much about this guy but every answer he gives deserves a standing O.

Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️

Never heard him talk but love the knowledge!

Him and Mahomes are the only 2 QBs where I expect them to win no matter what. Even if they’re down 14 in the 4th, I just expect it.

I’m a Giants fan but Brady is the GOAT. Wasn’t till he actually retired that I truly respected just how good he was and how his work ethic and passion drove him to be great

Awesome interview Patrick you interview the best people out there

Great clip!

Great Brady interview loved hearing his passion & process you could feel it as he was talking

Words can’t describe him I admire him so much hes an inspiration to all men hallmark of a winner God bless him

This is awesome, Thank you Pat and Tom

I used to hate on him. But when I really started watching him, I came to admire the greatest competitor of our time. Thank you Tom for the wild ride. (I'm from Seattle).

I genuinely don’t understand people who try to pit Belichick and Brady against each other in terms of Super Bowl’s, neither of them win 6 of them without each other. I’m sure they both appreciate the hell out of each other.

Tom’s amazing and he is right, be brilliant at the basics, work as a team, be passionate with a great attitude no matter how freaking hard it gets!!! Never complain, Make adjustments quickly and keep going! Success is tough. Failing or being average is worse!!

As a giants fan beating him twice he was a very clutch qb put in the best situations.

He is being truthful PBD , why is it hard to understand someone thinks a lot differently then you ?

God damn I love you Brady this pumped me TF up!!!

The fricking GOAT 😍 Boom 💥👊

Yeah, I improved greatly as a martial artist even through my 30s. I definitely know the feeling.

Inspiring.

Pbd is killing it! I admire this man. Great interview!!

My favorite athlete ever. I miss my Brady. Glad you are enjoying retirement. Now I can just watch football as a fan versus rooting against everyone but him. He inspired me in my career through his passion.

Giants fan here & I absolutely HATED this man when he was on the Patriots. When he left for Tampa, I lived in FL. Started paying attention to him & this man is incredible!!

Tom is most Competition Athlete I ever seen. Great interview by The🐐

Goat interviewing goat

PBD really needs to learn that not everyone thinks like him, not everyone is driven by enemies. Just because he is a greedy monster doesn't mean we all have to be.

This dude is the Goat! Especially as a quarterback! & similar to MJ in so many ways because they are both very humble & show their appreciation for other great athletes & that just adds to how great he is

I like listening to this guy 🙂

Wow, Pat really went from MLM to interviewing legends. Gotta respect the hustle, whether it’s foundation is ethical or not 🤷‍♂️

Belicheck has to get credit for believing in Brady. When Bledsoe was healthy again in 2001 Belicheck stuck with Brady even though he wasn’t really playing great he was playing ok. Belicheck passed on Bledsoe getting his job back even though he had just signed a 100 million dollar contract. He saw something in Tom and it took balls to give him the job over Bledsoe

This is great

about time you get back on the sports

He’s my hero. What I would give to have him autograph my football card of him. I’ve tried for years to do it I asked for it for Christmas every year until he retired I’m now 15 the hope is fading

What a great interview, Tom Brady you are a legend! What a man! 💪🏼💪🏼

Tom is a humble man.

7:46 The GOAT quarterback respecting the overall GOAT athlete. Love it.

As a pats fan it makes me sick to my stomach to know they didn't give him whatever he asked for. After 20 years im 39 i remember when we played Green Bay I was only one for the 85 bears. But I remember when we lost with Drew my dad saying maybe in ten years we'll get one.then 01 happened it felt so surreal from the dirty hit in the Pittsburgh game that took him out and bledsoe come in and lead us to a win. To having the lead that super bowl against the greatest show on turf and then the feeling of oh my God here we go again when the game was tied John Madden saying take this to overtime. The watch that kick go through gails voice it's good it's good and New England is super bowl champions

Process, discipline, work ethic...... if you have those three things you'll be so far ahead regardless of privilege/talent.

Incredible interview.. congratulations PBD!!! Tom Brady is the guy all dads need to be to their kids..

Freaking Awesome!

When David says enemies, I know he means his competition.

It was really easy to hate Brady when he was playing and beating my team all the time on his way to winning another Super Bowl. Now that he's retired I can admit that I admire his dedication and attitude towards football and life in general.

I miss watching him play. Compassion to winning was on a totally different level from any other player.

Jim Carrey's TB impersonation here is so spot on.

Pat was hoping Tom shared the same mentality in this aspect but he doesn’t. He was also using this to promote his new book 😬. Didn’t work here. Still love them both 🤣💪🏾

Brady is the man - super positive human

I remember the Kobie interview and then he got on the helicopter. Hopefully Brady is around for a long time to bless us with his extraordinary drive.

Awesome! Driven is good!

The Goat!

My man is passionate still after all these years !

Edelman has said it on record he was chasing Jordan to get to 7 chips

GJ PBD for being able to call anyone on their bullshit

He absolutely threw the hell out the ball on that one😁....absolutely!!!

He had help from people to improve his performance, as do all professional athletes; trainers, physicians, and coaches. Tom Brady is goat at quarterback position, his records are unmatched, and the future generation of NFL players will be challenged to meet those accomplishments.

I hated him as a Seahawks fan but honestly his story is inspiring and I think way differently of him. TB is a good dude.

It's all about focus and dedication. Rarely does one player make 52 others better just by his presence. Lawrence Taylor Joe Montana did the same.

What a legend!
