More quotes by Tony Dungy

They were unwillingly to give 100 percent if they didn't personally think it was important. What you don't understand is the champions know it's all important.

And as a football coach in the National Football League, I know for sure that it's going to end someday.
Tony Dungy
And if God has given you a lot of ability, I believe you should be held to a higher level of expectation.

Tony Dungy
Our goal was to win, to win a Super Bowl, but also to win in the right way, to be role models to our community, to represent Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the National Football League.
Tony Dungy
What's important is not the uniform or the number, and it's not what team you play for or whether anyone else sees your value it's who you are on the inside. And when you're in Christ, that's never going to change.
Tony Dungy
Change isn't always bad we should always be learning and improving. But the change I was seeing involved principles, not procedures.
Tony Dungy
I never wanted our players to think the Super Bowl was the ultimate. I always talk about 'Yes, we're going to win, but what are we going to do as we're winning? What are we going to do after we win?' Winning the Super Bowl is not the destination. It's not an end point. It's what you do from here.
Tony Dungy
Remember that mentor leadership is all about serving.

(Offensive Coach) Paul Hackett realized that Joe Montana knew more about the offense than he did, but when the meeting was over, Paul saw that Joe had taken three pages of notes.
