Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady got emotional while discussing his experience as a father, as well as the effect his father had on him.
Brady, 44, teared up as he described the role he plays in the lives of his three children during episode 10 of ESPN’s Man in the Arena.
“I’m a dad to some amazing children. When I think about being a dad, I think of him because of what my dad meant to me,” he said, wiping away tears. “I know I’m not as good a dad to my kids that my dad’s been to me. I use them as my example of how to keep a family together and to care, to support, and to love.”

“We want our kids to be happy. I want them to be respectful of people. I want them to be kind. I want to make the world a better place,” the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said.
Brady, who has made a career out of the game he loves, further detailed his hopes for his children’s future.
“I think maybe what I’d wish for my children is to find something they love to do like I have. But I think I’ve taken it to an extreme, too,” he said.

“There are imbalances in my life, and I hope they don’t take things as far as I’ve taken them. I want them to experience great success in whatever they do, but there’s a torment about me that I don’t wish upon them.”
