| | | Super Bowl-winning coach Dungy reflects on what it takes to achieve significance.
Annotation:
The recently-retired Tony Dungy will forever be remembered as the first African-American coach to win the Super Bowl, but his latest book focuses more on his faith than on football. He recounts the lessons he has learned over the years--from his parents and his children, from other coaches and players, and from various other people who were integral to his success. Dungy documents the heights of winning the Super Bowl, but also writes candidly about the heartbreaking loss of his teenage son's suicide. He reveals that his Christian faith helped him endure that tragedy and achieve his dreams, despite great odds.
| Praise| "[T]his sprawling, insightful and contrarian book is worth reading for its portrayal of the rebel athletes to whom it is dedicated, and to whom we are all indebted." - Alex Altman 09/22/2008 |
