Making That Commitment....Every Day July 28, 2008
As a companion piece to his best-selling book by the same title, respected and influential NFL head coach Tony Dungy delves into the knowledge, inspiration and lessons contained in the Bible.
The study sections are built upon six questions:
* What is my game plan?
* What is my strength?
* What is success?
* Where is my security?
* What is my significance?
* What is my legacy?
An excellent guide to be used by an individual or in groups, coach Dungy styles this playbook for any male wishing to open his heart and make a strong commitment to live a better life.
Man and His Fath July 26, 2008
A pleasent book that I enjoyed. It's more than a book about sports. It's about a man who's strong faith in God who he can come too during hard times. His faith in Crist helps to lead him in making decision in life and the people he deals with on the gridiron. This book is also for those who don't like sports. It's refreshing to know there is man in sports who does't compromise his beliefs just to win games. Finally he is a man who believes in family's and for his players to do the right things away from football that will help them win in life and on the field.
Quiet Strength July 25, 2008
I bought this for my son who really does not read much. He completed the book and the study lessons. He really enjoyed it.
Quite Strength - Soaring Inspiration July 17, 2008
What an inspiration Coach Tony Dungy is and this book was one I could not put down.
Dungy's a winner July 7, 2008

As a Steeler fan who is old enough to remember Dungy as a part of the Steel Curtain defense (but not as large as I remembered!), as a Christian husband and father, and as a Patriots hater who cheers for any team against New England, I had three reasons to look forward to this book, and it was even better than I expected.
Dungy's writing, with assistance by a co-author, reads as mild and humble as his (lets face it) nerdy appearance. Despite, or because of, this to-the-core character, Dungy has succeeded at the cutthroat business of professional football at the highest level. Remember, neither of the teams he has coached had any history of winning before his tenure, and he essentially won a Super Bowl with each team (Chucky Gruden won with Tony's players after Dungy was fired, and you can see what kind of success Chucky has had since!).
One of the amazing aspects of Dungy's book is how wide spread his deep-rooted Christianity was amongst the "nasty" 70s Steelers--Dungy, Dirt Winston, Mel Blount, and Donnie Shell not alone made for one of the hardest-hitting defensive backfields in NFL history, but apparently one of its most mature and consistent Bible studies as well. It is encouraging to read about NFL players and coaches who focus on family and faith, not contracts and crime sprees.
Dungy never sounds boastful or arrogant about his faith, usually demonstrating his life lessons from his own mistakes. My tears spotted the pages of the chapter when Dungy talked about his son's suicide and the rest of the way it was hard for me, and for Dungy as well, to focus on football. As he says in a later chapter, never confuse your goals (winning a Super Bowl) with your purpose (glorifying God).
I needed reminding. Thanks, Tony!
