Tony Dungy shares how Scripture informs Coaching

from Encounter with God Together Hosted by Scripture Union USA

Romans 11:36–14:9 Join SU President, Gail Martin and guest Tony Dungy, Pro Football Hall of Famer, reflecting on a new week of Scripture readings from the Book of Romans. Featured Guest: Tony Dungy, Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dungy is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, Super Bowl-winning head coach, bestselling author, and one of the most respected voices in professional football. Over a 13-year head coaching career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1996–2001) and Indianapolis Colts (2002–2008), he compiled a 148–79 record and became the first African American head coach to win the Super Bowl when the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. He holds a number of NFL firsts, including being the first head coach to defeat all 32 NFL teams, the youngest assistant coach in league history at age 25, and the youngest defensive coordinator at 28. Before coaching, Dungy played as a defensive back for the Pittsburgh Steelers and was part of their Super Bowl XIII championship team. Off the field, Dungy is known for his deep Christian faith and commitment to mentoring the next generation. He is the author of several books, including the New York Times bestseller Quiet Strength, and has served as an analyst on NBC's Football Night in America. He and his wife Lauren are the parents of ten children — three biological and seven adopted — and have been foster parents to dozens more. In 2001, Tony co-founded a Bible study fellowship among NFL coaches that continues to this day, now spanning 15–20 teams across the league and using Scripture Union's Encounter with God as its daily devotional guide.
