Product Description
2008 Retailer's Choice Award winner!
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, and 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, now updated with a new chapter, 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. The softcover edition of this #1 New York Times best-seller includes a new chapter! In it, Coach reflects on the 2007 football season and last year's successful hardcover release of Quiet Strength. Also features a foreword by Denzel Washington and a 16-page color-photo insert. Over 1 million in print!

simply the best December 24, 2008
I have literally read hundreds of books about sports or sports personalities and found this one to be the absolute best. The path that Tony Dungy has taken and the faith he has put into that path (with the adversities placed in front of him) is truly inspiring. If, you are looking to teach your children something about sports and humility, this is the book to place in front of them. Eony Dungy should be an inspiration to us all reagardless of what our occupation is. This book is as much about faith, love, conviction, and perserverance ans it is about sports. I believe this is a "must read" book.
Great book, Classy guy! December 18, 2008
A very insightful biography of coach Dungy and what makes him tick. There are a number of life lessons in this inspirational look at the man and his faith. Nice guys don't always finish last, and the character of this man is evident, not only in the book, but also in his popularity in the Tampa area and among Bucs fans years after his leaving, our winning the Superbowl without him, and his winning with his new team.

Excellent book - very heart-warming and inspiring! It was even more meaningful because it was read by Tony Dungy.
