If there is one person I would like to meet, that person would be Tony Dungy. Not because he is a NFL coach and that he has won the biggest championship there is.(Super Bowl) To hear him speak it makes me want to be able to speak like him. To make a difference in other peoples lives. We need more people like Tony Dungy the man. I know of anyone that could have went through the loseing of a child and be able to make a positive out of it. Everything I have read about this tradegy he has not asked to be consoled but he is consoleing us. That is the man he is. This story is great. To read the words that Jeff Saturday said about his coach is overwhelming. You do not hear of players calling their coach Meek. (quiet strength)To read how he would not close the doors at the receiving service for his son when the time come to finish he waited till everyone came to give him their condolences was remarkable. He asked in this article to be rememberd as a person who made a difference in the community and not for a person who developed great football players. Mr Dungy I have looked up to you for years and football is the last thing I will remember you for. Thanks for making a difference in my life. I will continue to coach youth in my community and I will try to do so in a Meek kind of way.
