Tom Brady didn’t know when to fold ’em. So what?

This week, one day before Groundhog Day, Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady retired. Yes, again.

Now, he’s retiring “for good,” he said. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” he said on a self-shot smartphone video, on a cloudy, windy beach. Identifying the right time to walk away is tricky, even for us mere mortals. When do we leave that job that has been so good for us? The one we know inside-out, where our colleagues have become like family, where we can sail through another quarter, that’s like a second home?

Closer to home, there are other politicians who may have similar decisions to make about their futures soon, including Justin Trudeau, who has been Prime Minister for almost eight years. Stick around or step down: what’s the best way to be a team player? Is there a risk of being pushed out? Long walks in the snow may ensue.

I hope Tom sees this
