What a great book that addresses relationship in your life. Tony, not only the coach but a true Christian Man, relates his faith and position as a man on how to build and sustain these relationships. Not only coaching but being a husband, father, leader of people or just a 'common' man. Several scripture verses throughout his writing reinforce his philosophy and success. Not only how to treat people but simple things as respecting authority. "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years." ...Mark Twain.
Dungy also lists 13 'Keys for Developing Your Core'
1. Remember that what you do when no one is watching matters.
2. The means matter as much as the ends, if not more.
3. Hang in there. Character is revealed through adversity.
4. Often we grow as much through the little things as we do through the big ones.
5. Truth is critical. Being truthful is too.
6. Don't rationalize your way around honesty.
7. Don't blow your own horn.
8. Don't be falsely modest; you have amazing gifts. Just recognize that others do too.
9. You are important, but not indispensible. The same goes for others. See yourself as a significant part of the process.
10. Be carefule what you do with your resources, gifts, time and talents. You've been entrusted with them.
11. Some of the most rewarding time in life are when you have to stand alone, even if you are uncomfortable doing so.
12. Life is hard. Courage is essential
13. Never give up.....NEVER
These are pretty essential for teachers or just the plain COMMON person.
