Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr.

Pat Tillman carried many characteristics that made him who he was, but his selflessness was the most apparent characteristic about him. Tillman’s selflessness become apparent when he threw away a multi-million dollar contract in the NFL just to serve for his country in the army. This type of commitment for the country is hard to find in other people. Another example that shows Tillman’s selflessness was after a football game when he was asked what his thoughts were on the game. He replied saying, “I didn’t play particularly well. The team played great.” This shows how Tillman really wasn’t playing for the fame, or publicity, and credited his team before himself. One last example of how selfless Tillman was selfless was when he never took interviews with news reporters after he made the decision to join the army. This shows how Tillman never wanted any attention after his decision, and just

The ideas and expectations he sets for himself is what is displayed to the public. On the surface, Brady has satisfied basic needs, and is working towards self-actualization. This is seen in the amount of work he does in order to ensure he may have peak performance in his career. Cardinal traits dominate much of who Brady is. As previously stated, his leadership has been pointed out by teammates and coaches. These personality traits are a direct link to his personality type. Lastly, Brady is a living example of the social cognitive theory. Brady may spend hours on end watching film analyzing his mistakes.

“All of the Children of silence must be taught to sing their own song.” This is one of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet’s most famous quotes.

He never did anything to show off, he did it because he felt it was the right thing to do. One day, one of the teammates forgot to bring donuts for breakfast for the team, so his teammates tied him up to a goal post. When Pat got there, he knew that was wrong; so, Pat untied the guy. He didn’t do this to be the guy’s best friend; he did it because he knew it was the right thing to do. Another example of Pat’s selflessness is when he came home from war, he told everyone he wanted to stay home but he went back. He went back not because he wanted to, but because he “had” to since he made the commitment. He didn’t do what he wanted to, he did what needed be done.

Tom Brady is widely considered to be one of the best athletes of today’s day and age, and thought of by many as possibly the best quarterback in NFL history. Numerous factors have led to his overall success in football over the past 20 or so years, but nothing has been as important as his own implicit personality structures. Brady has dealt with a lot of negative feedback ever since he started playing football; people telling him he wasn’t good enough to play or that he wasn’t tough enough to be a quarterback in the NFL. His whole career has been a balancing act of proving people wrong by continuing to surpass what was thought to be humanly possible on the field. He has clearly surpassed expectations on and off the field, because of this success it is acceptable to ask the question of how his personality has helped lead to his success in the NFL. Furthermore, Brady is clearly a person high in conscientiousness and self-control, therefore another question that could be debated is how would he cope with not being able to play the game he loves.
