Pete Crow-Armstrong, the young outfielder for the Chicago Cubs, is having a dream season, as at just 23 years of age, he is already an All-Star, a candidate for MVP and one of the most complete emerging figures in Major League Baseball
Throughout history, we have witnessed many ascents to the top, but once at the top, they suffer from altitude sickness and begin to descend precipitously. However, one athlete who knew how to reach the top and stay there for a long time is Tom Brady.
That’s why the legendary quarterback may be the best person in the world to give advice on how to get to the top and what to do to stay there
Tom Brady shares his philosophy of life with Pete Crow-Armstrong
Brady gave him advice not about baseball, of course, nor about football, but about the sport itself, he shared his philosophy of life and some of the keys to his success.
In a recent meeting during a sporting event, Brady shared a revealing chat with Crow-Armstrong, in which he highlighted the importance of having good mentors early in a professional career.
It is important to have the right mentors, because they have already been through what you are going to face
Beyond inspiration, Brady offered a very practical perspective: long-term success depends not only on talent, but also on physical and mental resilience.
Some people have a natural physical gift, but they can’t bring competitive endurance to the office every day. One day they do well, the next day they do badly
According to him, all players can get injured, but those who succeed are those who recover faster and know how to maintain the competitive rhythm day after day.
Why is Crow-Armstrong so special?
Crow-Armstrong, who has already shown a unique combination of speed, power and defense, seems to be taking that advice seriously. And it couldn’t come at a better time: the young outfielder is projected to earn up to $200 million in future contracts if he maintains his level.
Pete Crow-Armstrong and his meteoric rise
Pete Crow-Armstrong‘s career has not been an easy one. Although he was selected in the first round of the draft by the Mets in 2020, his first steps in MLB were discreet, however, he persevered and today, with the Cubs, he is leaving a mark that is hard to ignore.
With 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases before the All-Star Game, he joined an exclusive group that includes Bobby Bonds and Eric Davis. Not even Shohei Ohtani achieved that feat before the mid-season break.
Defensively, he’s shining as one of the best. According to Statcast, he is the outfielder with the most outs above average (+18), placing him among the top 10 defensive seasons recorded by that metric.
For Crow-Armstrong, talent is no longer in doubt, but becoming the best is not just a matter of talent and Brady knows that what separates shooting stars from enduring legends is longevity, discipline and a constant mindset.
Brady’s message is clear: talent takes you far, but commitment to the process is what keeps you at the top.

MLB playoffs 2025: Aaron Judge did his part, but the New York Yankees, once again, failed to win the World Series
NEW YORK — Statistically speaking, Aaron Judge had a nice day.In Game 4 of the ALDS, he went 2-for-4 with an intentional walk. His two outs were a strikeout and a 112-mph liner smoked right at the second baseman. He made a few nice plays in the field. Judge did not send one flying to the heavens — not every day is Christmas — but it was a productive trip to the office.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYet he finished the evening in the same scattered fashion he has finished every year of his career. Disappointed, downtrodden, his eyes puffy and distant with the remnants of tears, his words low and tired. Once more, Judge’s Yankees did not win the World Series. The “October in the Bronx” dream is dead yet again.[Get more New York news: Yankees team feed]And as the current face of this […]

MLB playoffs 2025: The Phillies won a must-win game. Did the Dodgers lose one, too?
LOS ANGELES — However this NLDS plays out — whether the Los Angeles Dodgers hold on or the Philadelphia Phillies stage the comeback of these playoffs — many will point to Kyle Schwarber's 455-foot home run that hurtled through the air and over the right-field pavilion of Dodger Stadium as the turning point.Phillies manager Rob Thomson certainly did after the game, telling reporters the blast "sort of woke everybody up and got a lot of energy going in the dugout."It was an enormous home run, yes, one that seemed to fully break the Phillies out of a malaise that had so far cost them two games in the series. However, Schwarber went on to hit a second, less numerically impressive homer, and that one might be just as important because it might as well have gone on the Game 4 […]
