If there is one athlete to model your career on, Tom Brady is probably the man to do it on.
Arguably the greatest winner in the history of sports, Brady was able to win a record seven Super Bowl's over 23 seasons in a league that makes it difficult to repeat success with a hard salary cap and the constant turnover of players.
A big reason as to why Brady was able to win sustainable throughout his career - besides his level of elite play - was his decisions in the off-season. While being the best quarterback in the league, Brady was never the highest-paid player and was never really close to the top earners.
