I would just say, I&#8217;ve seen very few that were really worthy of a strong mention, or changed the direction of the team or the game. There&#8217;ve been very few.

It feels like you&#8217;ve worked your whole life to get to that point, and honestly when you win one, you try to savor the moment because in the back of your mind you&#8217;re kind of thinking, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever be here again.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Like father, like son<\/h2>\n<p>Football is everything for Belichick. His father, Steve, a beloved assistant at Navy for more than three decades, made sure of that. &#8220;As an only child, you know, I followed my dad around,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If he had been a fireman, I probably would have been a fireman. He was a football coach, and so I hung around him, and I did whatever he did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I asked, &#8220;But what did you love about that? Because plenty of sons run in the other direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think a big part of it was the respect and adoration that they had for him; it seemed very rewarding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/657ba6b2-7e22-408a-8641-ebf587537962\/thumbnail\/620x941\/5047bea42698a28eb0ff9e92ba5e04c1\/the-art-of-winning-cover.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc#\" alt=\"the-art-of-winning-cover.jpg \" height=\"941\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/657ba6b2-7e22-408a-8641-ebf587537962\/thumbnail\/620x941\/5047bea42698a28eb0ff9e92ba5e04c1\/the-art-of-winning-cover.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/657ba6b2-7e22-408a-8641-ebf587537962\/thumbnail\/1240x1882\/628a58aa646a34cff2590ef949bf450b\/the-art-of-winning-cover.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Avid Reader Press<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When young Billy went looking for a coaching job of his own, though, Dad had some advice: &#8220;You&#8217;re never gonna make any money coaching.

Jordan was a constant presence during our interview. <\/p>\n<p>I asked, &#8220;You have Jordan right over there. Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They&#8217;ve got an opinion about your private life. It&#8217;s got nothing to do with them, but they&#8217;re invested in it. How do you deal with that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks,&#8221; Belichick replied. &#8220;Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what&#8217;s right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Belichick was asked how the two of them met, Hudson spoke up: &#8220;He&#8217;s not talking about this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on, though Hudson has recently posted about it on Instagram, including a picture of Belichick as a fisherman and Hudson as a mermaid. In another, Belichick is balancing Jordan on his feet. &#8220;Yeah, so I&#8217;m on some of those social media platforms, but I honestly don&#8217;t follow,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/21918d71-a608-417f-ae51-7d6087c06817\/thumbnail\/620x465\/ca78d94091290b76af4130be9287404a\/bill-belichick-jordan-hudson.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc#\" alt=\"bill-belichick-jordan-hudson.jpg \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/21918d71-a608-417f-ae51-7d6087c06817\/thumbnail\/620x465\/ca78d94091290b76af4130be9287404a\/bill-belichick-jordan-hudson.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/26\/21918d71-a608-417f-ae51-7d6087c06817\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/c32d5195e3f2ad3a694f47865ba66e2c\/bill-belichick-jordan-hudson.jpg?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson on Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Instagram<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What he does follow isn&#8217;t clicks or views, but touchdowns and (above all) wins.<\/p>\n<p>I asked, &#8220;You do seem like you&#8217;re having a lot more fun these days than you were in other chapters of your life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoy football,&#8221; Belichick replied. &#8220;I enjoy the whole process of it.
