In the intro for the second episode of “Man in the Arena,” the newly-released ESPN documentary series about Tom Brady, the 44-year-old offered some general insight into how he tries to “realize his potential.”
“You have to put people around you that are going to help you be the best you can be,” Brady explained. “And if those aren’t the people, then you have to move on. I realize that the toughest things that I’ve faced in my life have been the best things for me.”
Episode 2 is fittingly titled, “The Toughest Things,” and in the context of what it covers (the Patriots’ second Super Bowl run), Brady’s quote alludes to some of the harsher aspects of the business of the NFL.
