Overview
A biography of the coach of the Indianapolis Colts and the first African American football coach to lead his team to a Superbowl victory concentrates on his religious life as well as his career in football.
Publishers 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

 | Quiet Strength audio CD Mar 10, 2008 |
| I had already read the book, but being able to listen to Tony Dungy bring the book to life added so much to the words of this inspirational book. | | | | Faith. Family. Football. Mar 10, 2008 |
QUIET STRENGTH is an inspirational autobiography of an inspirational coach, leader and Christian. Tony Dungy offers a glimpse into his mind, heart and spirit as he lives the life of the believer in the rough-and-tumble world of the NFL.
Dungy traces his history from growing up with parents he adored and who set a loving example to his own manhood, athletic career and marriage to Lauren. He re-traces the steps God led him through, the victories and defeats, the joys and the sorrows.
He writes simply and powerfully about his faith, football and family. His efforts to "walk the walk" of the modern Christian are uplifting. His up and down career in pro football is triumphant. His love for and focus on his family is a lesson for every husband and Dad. Dungy breaks our hearts retelling the story of his son Jaime's suicide.
There are lessons here galore as Dungy writes honestly about his failures as well as his success, his defeats and his victories. We find examples of grace, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and courage which fan our faith into an open flame.
Tony Dungy is the real deal. He is living the victorious Christian life as loving husband and father off the field and servant leader on the field. God bless him and his family.

| This book is a tremendously inspiring and educational story of a remarkable man and a remarkable life. There is much to learn about football, coaching, leadership, principles, family, and, most of all, faith. As a father, a son, a football fan, and a hopeful leader, there was much for me to learn with how Dungy has lead his life thus far. Having endured professional disappointment and great family tragedy, all under the ever-watching eye of the media, he has showed incredible strength and character. He is a model for all men, athletes and leaders. A great book and an easy read. Highly recommended for all. | | | | Great Book Feb 28, 2008 |
