Man in the Arena: Tom Brady

This has been out since November 2021 and I had zero desire to watch it because I had no idea it was gonna be any good at all. Then I saw on my Disney one day and decided just to chime into the first episode. After the first episode I was like oh this is good stuff I'm gonna watch the rest. Blew through all the rest of the episodes and it's so good that I can't even think of a way to say how good it is in a multitude of ways, other than to say "this is so good". Brady's work ethic. Bradys philosophical approach. Brady's relationship with his family, his kids, his players, his career. It's easy to see why so many people I know tell me they hate Brady. It's because he seems too perfect. Well he's not perfect. No human being is. But he works and tries to be the best he can be in every way. Work work work. Literally how life works. How can you not appreciate and admire somebody who just does their best to do the right thing? That does the work? This is an easy 10.

So many other great things to say about this aside from all that. Clips of the so-called sports prognosticators totally getting it wrong over and over again. That never gets old. Great insights from players coaches trainers. Just so much great stuff. Easy 10.

I'm feeding off all the Brady haters tears in here haha they are ridiculous. Not quite on the same level as The Last Dance but still amazing. Long story short if you're a fan of Brady, Nfl or just inspiring people you'll love this. If you're a Brady hater obviously you won't, just keep crying elsewhere nobody cares. The only thing I disliked was the weird cuts to random oceans and animals, just didn't really make sense to me lol but I loved it.

Being from the UK im like most on our side of the pond, we are loyal and love only our football, not too clued up really in the NFL or NBA but know the main players and Brady is definetly one.

Even if its not my favourite sport ill watch most documentarys on sporting legends its always fascinating to see what fuels them and keeps the fire going. Brady in the mould of Michael Jordan, Messi, Woods,Ronaldo, Hamilton found a way to pull it out the bag in the big moments thats what makes these guys iconic.

I enjoyed this for what it is. I'm not a football fan, but I appreciate any individual who strives to meet challenges and be at the top of their game. Successful people are successful for a reason and insight into that is always interesting. Being in the public eye has its unique challenges and I have gained respect for Brady on how he balances his profession, his family and his health. As a fan of alternative medicine, I really enjoyed the dive into his "health guru " and injury recovery. Good stuff.

This is the type of documentary that you'll appreciate more and watch again after he retires. The league will never be the same without Tom Brady. Absolutely Legend, the greatest of all time.
