Thanks to the Wesleyan Denomination’s Spiritual Formation Department I received this book just last week and finished it up just this morning!
What a great look inside the life of the Coach Dungy’s coaching principles and God-honoring lifestyle!
With the help of Nathan Whitaker – a personal friend of the Dungys, Coach Dungy has written an amazing account of his life up-through the Colts’ Super Bowl win last year! Reading through much of the history of this great NFL coach and seeing how God has continued to be his focus throughout his adult life, it is encouraging to cheer on Coach Dungy and “my” Indianapolis Colts.
The book is exciting for my football-loving mind, too, in that it reads occasionally like a play-by-play of some of the high-profile games I sat on the edge of my seat during. To read those same plays coming from the coach of the team I was cheering for brings a new angle and excitement.
I recommend this book to any Colts fan AND/OR to anyone looking to read about a person who puts his faith in Christ first before his career – and how that faith interweaves throughout his dealings in life!
Coach Dungy is a hero in my book – even before reading his book!
Oh I am sooo glad to hear that you are staying a Colts fan even though you have moved to Wisconsin!!!Hmmmmm-maybe you will see some Colts stuff at Christmas. Also Stevan, did you know that Indiana Wesleyan University will be honoring Coach Dungy as a World Changer this next spring at a service on campus. He will be speaking at IWU. Isn’t that awesome!!!
So…I dislike the Colts and I dislike Peyton Manning even more. He cries like a baby and sells himself out for every commerical imaginable. BUT…I LOVED this book and I really, really respect Tony Dungy. If there’s one thing, and only one thing I like about the ponies, it’s their coach. GO BEARS! GO BEARS! GO BEARS!
