π Tom Brady on tough parenting and failure
Tom Brady criticized modern parenting styles that shield children from challenges, stating this hinders growth. He shared these views during a conversation with Fortune editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell at the Fortune Global Forum in New York. Brady believes avoiding mistakes takes away chances to build resilience and confidence, something he learned during his demanding high school years. His own parents encouraged him to pursue football despite the odds, shaping his current philosophy. Ultimately, he advises parents to support kids through difficulties rather than paving an easy route for them. π
