I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

Tom Brady is perhaps the greatest quarterback of all time in the history of the NFL. And like all good quarterbacks, Mr. Brady has a physique for it. His official height is 6'4" and his weight is 225 lb (102 kg).
Official heights are shady and often add an inch or two to the real height, this is especially prevalent in the NBA. But strangely enough not in NFL -- at least not in Tom Brady's case. At the NFL Combine, Tom Brady was measured as 6 feet 4.4 inches tall.
Perhaps this is why Tom looks taller than even other 6'4" guys, and only a bit shorter than Eli Manning who is almost 6'5".
Tom will completely dwarf someone like The Rock who is supposedly 6'5" (he is actually 6'2½" now, but was 6'3" in his prime) if they ever stood next to each other. Tom would be even taller than 6'4" tall people like Jason Momoa and Lee Pace.
The real height of Tom Brady is
6 ft 4¼ in (194 cm)

That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.
