How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, 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.

in most football memoirs these days they always seem to be about what it takes to win on the field but in tony dungys new bestseller "quiet strenth" one gets a deeper understanding of what it takes to win in the game of life. coach dungy lays out in this amazing and very fast reading book some wonderful principles that have shaped his background and strenthened his faith and gotten him through alot of the tough times. I think this book will bring alot of hope and courage into alot of peoples lifes and at the same time show our nations youth that there still are some real roll models that are making a difference in the world. GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER
