When beginning to read “Quiet Strength”, I noticed a strong value within Tony Dungy through his writing. A value that many people lack from time to time. Respect. Within the second chapter, you notice this value greatly when he speaks of his childhood and his family. He mentions his parents’ values multiple times and the discipline his siblings and himself would receive. He speaks much of his parents in a classroom setting and the respect both of them showed their students: “My dad believed you can’t teach only one way with only one syllabus, because while some students might get it, others won’t” (Dungy 14). Tony respected his father’s mind set on teaching and how he treated each individual student. I believe this mind set was passed down to Tony.

I chose the life and career of Peyton Manning as my research paper. Peyton was born on March 24, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. His parents are the already football star Archie Manning and his wife Olivia Peyton. So, Peyton was already born with a football in his hand so to speak. He improved his skills as a football player early on by practicing with his brother’s, dad, and childhood friends at an early age. Peyton’s passion for football he says was instilled in him by his father. He would listen to all his dad’s games at Ole Miss and New Orleans to study by. Like most in high school Peyton played football, baseball, and basketball. By Peyton’s sophomore year in high school he was talented enough to be the starting quarterback. His brother

This quote relates to the book Bleachers by John Grisham, specifically to the character Neely Crenshaw. Neely’s “second half” is determined not only in a game but also in his life.

Famous football coach, Tony Dungy, is consistently a man of honor and strength throughout his book “Quiet Strength”. His book is a memoir of his life which captures his discovery of what it means to be a Godly leader and how to live it out both on and off the field. With his son 's tragic suicide, and media fiascos with players, Tony discovers that listening to God and who he has put in our lives will give him peace and wisdom. Tonys upbringing set him up for a lifetime of possibilities which allowed him to go farther than most. I connected most with how Tony handled his son’s suicide, he handled it in a manner I wish i could and would have.

It is interesting not to only know about his football life, also about his personal life. I chose him because with my family we always watch american football. My dad likes that team, it is his favorite team. Did you get to know about Tony Romo? I hope you did! Thank you for reading and I hope you liked
