“Every parent in the room knows that being a parent is probably the hardest job we all have and we make a lot of mistakes, and I've made a lot of mistakes as a parent,” said the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers star said, via the New York Post.

“So I don't want to sound like a parenting expert, because I'm certainly not.”

The main difference for Brady is that his relationships and parenting skills are in front of millions of followers on social media.

Brady shares a 17-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan. He also shares two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Brady, now a senior commentator on Fox, said he took a page from his own parents, whom he credited with not allowing him to give up or think of a Plan B.

He said he uses that in his own way as a father.

“Unfortunately, he jumps as high as I do,” he said of Jack, via TMZ Sports. “But I told him, 'Dude, you're going to be a stud.' I told him, 'Wait until you hit your growth spurt, you'll jump higher and you'll dive.' And whether he does it or not, who cares? But I want him to know. that his father supports him.”
