Speaking to an audience at the Fortune Global Forum in New York City on Tuesday, Tom Brady acknowledged that he had “screwed up a lot” as a parent. The seven-time Super Bowl champion stated, “I’ve made a lot of mistakes as a parent, and we all made a lot of mistakes. Being a parent is probably the hardest job we have.”

Brady said he just tries to be “dependable and consistent” for his “three amazing kids,” but cautioned the audience that he is no “expert in parenting.”

“The blessing my parents gave me,” , “was when I was that longshot as a kid who was a backup quarterback on a freshman team, they never said, ‘Man, don’t do that. It’s going to be too hard. Let’s do something different. Let’s think about another backup plan.’”
