This is a spectacular book. On fatherhood, leadership, personal growth, fathering, perseverance, friendship, love, and faith. On hard work, ethics, honesty, understanding, encouragement, and belief. I have read many biographies, and Tony Dungy is the most humble person I have ever read about. I have so much respect for him from this read and the wee little bit I saw of him as a coach on the sidelines and the even less I've seen of him as an analyst (I don't have/watch channels he's been on.) I would be honored to meet him, thrilled to sit down and listen to him.

Coach Dungy takes claim for nothing, other than his mistakes and misperceptions. He attributes every thing he's learned, every good he's done, every positive decision, impact, or influence he's had to his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his peers, his coaches, his teachers, and ultimately and repeatedly to God. Outstanding example of a firm foundation grounded in his faith and his father's truisms. He shares much of himself throughout the book, a brave and candid thing. He is transparent in his frustrations and failures, grateful and sharing in his blessings and benefits.

This is a good biography told by a good man about many good traits and truths that should be much more prevalent then they currently are. Prevalent, expected, demanded - of ourselves and each other. All of society would be much improved. Thanks for being who you are Coach, and for sharing your heart.
