“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.

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.”
