Tom Brady admitted he has “screwed up a lot” as a parent while speaking to a crowd at the Fortune Global Forum in New York City on Tuesday.

“Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have and we screwed up a lot and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion said.

Brady, who warned the crowd that he is no “expert in parenting,” said he simply tries to be “dependable and consistent” for his “three amazing kids.”

“The blessing my parents gave me,” he recalled, “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.’”

“They kind of said, ‘You know what? Go for it. Whatever you wanna be’… and that’s probably my parenting style.”

He shares his middle child, 14-year-old Benjamin, and youngest, 11-year-old Vivian, with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
