Product Description
Super Bowl–winning coach and #1 New York Times best selling author Tony Dungy has had an unusual opportunity to reflect on what it takes to achieve significance. He is looked to by many as the epitome of the success and significance that is highly valued in our culture. He also works every day with young men who are trying to achieve significance through football and all that goes with a professional athletic career—such as money, power, and celebrity. Coach Dungy has had all that, but he passionately believes that there is a different path to significance, a path characterized by attitudes, ambitions, and allegiances that are all too rare but uncommonly rewarding. Uncommon reveals lessons on achieving significance that the coach has learned from his remarkable parents, his athletic and coaching career, his mentors, and his journey with God. A particular focus of the book: what it means to be a man of significance in a culture that is offering young men few positive role models.

 Uncommon March 15, 2010
Melinda Sun (Columbus, Ohio)
Excellent service. Book is a great read - most men would like this book as it talks the "football" language. Dungy really provides good info on becoming an uncommon man.

This book is a must read for anyone who deals with children, whether your own or others. Women, men, teens need to read this book it gives many uplifting examples living our lives to be the best and to be an example to others. I loved reading this book, it is a keeper. So I purchased two and sent one to my son serving as a Marine in Japan. Great book for him to read.

This is a great book. Tony has a heart for the younger generation and has many good points to lead them from many mistakes that many make. He makes several religious points, but that is who Tony is. I am sure many people wish our young men would live according to the principles Tony lays out.

Any book of Tony Dungy's is a good read. I got this for my nephew for Christmas with the intention of a present that would be life changing. He is a teen so I hope he reads it and applies the principles therein. I just know how Tony Dungy lives--and he practices what he preaches. I would recommend this book for any young man starting out in life.
 Character & Integrity February 1, 2010
Ilya Grigorik (Toronto, ON, Canada)
I'm not a football fan, or have a religious background, but that did not take away from the message of the book. Tony Dungy's message on leadership, attitude, work ethic, and generosity are universal for all of us, irrespective of faith or background. I may not agree with all of the authors conclusions based on his faith or upbringing, but I do wish that more people would read and put into practice his message on personal character and integrity. Great read.
