Tony Dungy - Amazing Grace
As coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Tony Dungy makes his living making adjustments. Some are subtle. Parenting and coaching are a lot alike in that way. As he and his family cope with the toughest loss of their lives, that of their son and brother, James, Tony Dungy is taking the necessary steps to see that it doesn’t happen again. Those steps don’t have to be huge. In this case, they amount to a simple stroll into the other room.
The more I learn about Tony the more I am impressed. This man truly understands what success in balance means and even more, he understands what life is all about. Sort of reminds me a bit of Job. No matter what happens to this man he remains true to himself and his values. I think we can learn a lot from him. This article is well worth the time to read.
Best quote in the article:
“You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn’t mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It’s just like a football season. Everything’s not going to go perfect. You’re going to have some losses that you’re going to have to bounce back from and some things that are a little unforeseen that you’re going to have to deal with. It’s how you work your way through things.”
