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!

God Bok:
I study the Bible alot, but ever time I take the test, I get an F. Am I going to hell, Jeff Saturday?
A Good Use of Time:
I think it's worth it for any sports fan to read. The information about football, the authors' life, and his opinions were written in a way that kept the book interesting to me. There were times when I couldn't put it down. Since the book was written fairly recently, I felt I was getting good, up-to-date information. A lot of the players are still playing for the coach right now. So I would advise reading it as soon as possible before too much time goes on.
Asks important questions:
My men's group found this study to be a good one for us. While the questions are important and make each individual think about how they themselves must answer, the book is written in a way that it doesn't intimidate anyone. We have everything from high school guys to guys in their early 50s and all found it applicable to their lives. It made for interesting discussions and caused each man to learn something new about himself. Highly recommend.
Great Book:
Very good book, a great man in the public view, not affraid to express his beliefs.
