It can be frustrating when it seems everyone is doing their life’s calling and is happy doing it, but you are still searching to fulfill and pursue your life’s passion. Such was the case with third grader, Linden, little brother to Tony Dungy, and the youngest in the family. It seemed everyone in the family had found their special talent all except Linden. Because of this, he lacked that self-motivation to do anything.

But, with encouragement from his parents, a special push from big brother, Tony, and inspiration from God, Linden begins to soar as he learns that if he dreams big and has faith in God and in himself, he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to.

Isaiah 30:15 tells us “…in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” This text has been played out in the life of Coach Tony Dungy, the first African-American football coach to win a Super Bowl (Super Bowl XLI). In his book, Quiet Strength, Dungy shows how one can become a success with a quiet determination and humility, without compromising one’s faith and one’s family, and without taking advantage of others around you—in this case, his players. Dungy shows us that when you put God first in all that you do everything else will fall in place and that is what a true successful life is all about.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller, Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life, is available in softcover format for only $14.99.

Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to Super Bowl victory on February 4, 2007, the first such win for an African American coach. Dungy had taken eight of his previous ten teams to the playoffs. With this victory, he joined Mike Ditka and Tom Flores as the only individuals to win the Super Bowl as a player and head coach.

Dungy joined the Colts in 2002 after serving as the most successful head coach in Tampa Bay history. He has also held assistant coaching positions with the University of Minnesota, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Minnesota Vikings. Before becoming a coach, Dungy played three seasons in the NFL.

Dungy has been involved in a wide variety of charitable organizations, including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Athletes in Action, Mentors for Life, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Prison Crusade Ministry, and All Pro Dad. He also works with Basket of Hope, the Black Coaches Association National Convention, Indiana Black Expo, the United Way of Central Indiana, and the American Diabetes Association.

He and his wife, Lauren, are the parents of six children: daughters, Tiara and Jade, and sons, Eric, Jordan, and Justin, and the late James Dungy.
