Such a touching moving memoir by one of the classiest personalities in football. While the book is jam-packed with enough college and NFL football history and stats to make it an appealing read for any football fan, it is Dungy's up front and on fire affirmation of his faith that plays center stage. I now have even more admiration and respect for this man of integrity.

I liked Dungy more after reading this than before. A good guy. One of the most amusing anecdotes concerns his Minnesota college team playing Ohio State in the '80s. OSU came out on the field for warmups and Dungy thought, "hey, they don't look so big." It turned out that those were just the skill position players, and the behemoths had not yet come on field.

I enjoyed hearing Tony Dungy’s story about his life coaching in the NFL and the importance of Christ throughout his life. He has a matter-of-fact writing style where at points, I wanted some additional emotion or thoughts to go along with what happened.

This is a biography of Tony Dungy with specific emphasis on his NFL coaching career. Tony is a religious man who was a mediocre football player, mediocre coach, and lost his son due to suicide. I did not find his story inspiring. He gives God the credit for some of the game victories. It reminds me of two sides in a war with each claiming that God is on their side. It is unclear why his son committed suicide, but Tony admits that he did not spend the quality time with his family that his show more father did with him. I find it interesting that the Buccaneers went to the super bowl after Tony was fired and a new coach took control of the team. He was fortunate to have a talented team in Indianapolis. I wonder if that had anything to do with the Colts going to the super bowl. Hmmm. I suspect Tony is a decent guy, but he doesn't seem particularly special or inspiring to me. I will take Lance Armstrong over this guy any day of the week. show less
