![]() ![]() Through trials and tribulations that included a cross-country move away from his close-knit California family and a lack of support from Michigan boosters (who would have preferred that he be benched in favor of local product Drew Henson), Brady won over teammates, kept improving and ultimately thrived in the hypercompetitive NFL. The author discusses Brady’s experiences in high school, the coaching he received from throwing guru Tom Martinez and his up-and-down career at the University of Michigan. Pierce ( Sports Guy, 2000, etc.) chronicles the Patriots’ 2005 season while spotlighting Brady and telling the story of his rise from skinny teenager to two-time Super Bowl MVP and media superstar. Tom Brady, with his just-one-of-the-guys mentality, unrelenting determination and walnut-cracking chin, is one such individual. It takes a truly charismatic individual to transcend football’s inherent facelessness-22 players, wearing helmets that obscure their features, playing an all-for-one game-to become a bona-fide star. ![]() ![]() Mid-career retrospective of the New England Patriots’ three-time Super Bowl–winning quarterback. ![]()
