Review by Library Journal Review

When Dungy, coach of the Indianapolis Colts, led his team to a Super Bowl victory in 2007, he became the first African American to claim this accomplishment, but this is not a story of overcoming racial barriers. Coach Dungy is a remarkably humble man, whose strong religious beliefs are a constant guide and comfort to him. He has a keen wit and a clever mind. He explains the sorrowful experience of his son's suicide in a manner so personally revealing that a listener cannot help being moved. Peter Jay Fernandez provides a compelling narrative that matches the character of this book perfectly. Every so often, a remarkable sports biography emerges, and this is one of them. Strongly recommended. [Quiet Strength was a New York Times best seller.--Ed.]--Ray Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L. (c) Copyright 2010.
