I was very pleased after reading Tony Dungys book Quiet Strength. I give this book five out of five stars for the life changing ideas and stories on each page. This is a must read for anyone who is wondering how to balance success and failure with a Godly lifestyle.

Football is used to share the story of a man who lives for Christ which is evident in the way he talks, acts, and carries himself. This book isnt just about sports, but rather it is a book on how to live a life that is honoring to God while pursing your dreams. He has an incredible humble and compassionate attitude towards everyone he meets which is something everyone can learn from. Tony is the ultimate role model in professional sports and in life. Tony stated how he cared more about the character of his players then their football skills. He writes about how he would share his faith with the players he coached. Tony stands out among the crowd because of his extreme devotion and passion for Christ. Tony discusses how much he relies on God and how he lives a life that is in align with Christian principles. However, he trusted in God and allowed God to guide his life which led to being blessed with a successful coaching career. Tony shows his vulnerability when discussing not playing in the NFL because that is the only thing he wanted to do. He recalls dismissing the alcohol and drugs that were used by some of his teammates and instead embracing Bible studies with other teammates. Tony shares of his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and how he was influenced in a very positive way by some of his teammates.

He tells his story in a very honest and raw way that makes the audience understand his feelings and paints himself as a very humble and down to earth guy. Tony describes his experiences on and off the gridiron, but this is not the typical athlete or coach rehashing their career. Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy is an extremely influential book that can be enjoyed by everyone.
