Tony Dungy’s words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following the victory of the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach―especially a football coach―to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else?
