My Review: I always feared when my Miami Dolphins had to play against any of the NFL teams coached by Mr. Tony Dungy, because I knew that they were always a fierce team to beat, playing always at their limit, with a focused mind to do their best. Now I understand why. In this wonderfully written book, Mr. Dungy tell us all about his principles and his relationship with God. Now I admire him even more, not only as a coach, but as a christian fellow. This book is a devotional, with 365 reflections over the Scriptures, where Mr. Dungy goes over his experience dealing with young athletes and how he oriented them to achieve excellence based on the Word of God, as well as his experience in his professional career in different situations. Topics are split in seven major categories: Core, Family, Friends, Potential, Mission, Influence and Faith, each one repeating every seven days. Some reflections are really powerful, like the one called "You Are a Person of Influence", that touched me deeply.
This is a must have book in the permanent library of any serious Christian person who wants to live an uncommon life and make a difference.
This book was written by Tony Dungy and Nathan Whitaker and was published by Tyndale House Publishers in September 2011 and they were kind enough to send me a copy for reviewing through their blogger book review program.
