“The book is actually called 'A Mentor Leader, a Different Way to Lead....” — Tony Dungy Quote

“The book is actually called 'A Mentor Leader, a Different Way to Lead.' It really talks about my experience in the way I tried lead our football team, things that I learned from, basically, the coaches that I played for and my parents about leadership. And it is a little bit different, counter to maybe what society says about great leaders.”

“Sometimes I think God wants there to be a circus so we can show there's another way to respond.”

“I could never have pictured myself writing a book when I was 25 years old. My mom was an English teacher but I wasn't that way growing up.”

“I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.”

“So, college was kind of the only option that I looked at, and I was fortunate to have great coaches when I was at UCLA. They helped me improve on and off the court.”

“I'm worried because a lot of coaches aren't having fun. They're miserable, worried about getting fired, fighting recruiting.”
