In his book Quiet Strength subtitle: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life Tony Dungy became the first African-American to coach a Super Bowl champion when the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. Because of their shared faith and deep friendship, Dungy and Bears' head coach Lovie Smith received widespread attention. "Writing a book is something that I never intended to do," said Dungy. "However, after winning the Super Bowl, I heard from so many people who were excited about our victory. I wanted to tell each one of them that it wasn't the victory, but the journey, and the lessons learned along that journey that really matter. And the biggest lesson I learned was that God's hand is not only in the victories, but in the disappointments as well. It is my prayer that reading my story will cause people to stop and examine what's really important in life." Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people. The consummate professional, he is a living example that men and women can succeed in the most competitive environments without deviating from their core values. Coach Dungy's inspiring memoir will appeal to a wide variety of readers: passionate football fans, business leaders, moms and dads, and all who want to discover how Coach Dungy's priorities, principles and practices can apply in their lives. Tony and his wife, Lauren, are the parents of six children, daughters Tiara and Jade, and sons Eric, Jordan, Justin, and the late James Dungy.
Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach--especially a football coach--to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family--and challenges us all to redefine our ideas of what it means to succeed. Includes a foreword by Denzel Washington and a 16-page color photo insert.
