Tom Brady turned to poetry in his latest motivational Instagram post

It didn’t have quite as much action as some of his other recent messages, but Tom Brady’s latest Instagram post followed a similar pattern in that it focused on inspiration and overcoming odds.

The post, which the quarterback shared late Thursday night, featured a photo with Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski. Below the picture, he included Douglas Malloch’s poem “Good Timber” in its entirety.

It’s not the first time he’s chosen this poem, which revolves around the notion that working for something and battling through adversity often yields the most fruitful results.
