New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted a message to his personal Facebook page to honor the memory of his longtime throwing coach Tom Martinez.
On this day four years ago, I lost a world-class coach, mentor and friend, Tom Martinez. Tom made everyone around him a better person.
Something he always preached that I remind myself of every time I step on the field... "You play hard and you play right to the end."
Thank you for being the ultimate example, Tom. I'd be nowhere without your voice in my ear all of these years.
