Tony Dungy, coach of the Indianapolis Colts, announced his retirement today. Although I have not been a fan of the Colts, I have admired coach Dungy for a while. He has lived his faith, and has not been ashamed of his Christian profession. In a field where high strung cursing coaches seems to be the norm, his mild mannered style seemed to be out of place. But he constanly kept his composure in the heat of adversity. And he constantly witnessed of his faith in the Lord, even when he went through the tragic death a couple of years back on his son.
Coach Dungy is praying about what direction to take next with his life. He stated today, in announcing his retirement, that he wants to mentor young men who have lost direction in life. I watched the live interview on ESPN, where his 30 minute or so speech constantly referred to God and His direction in his life.
Thanks, Coach Dungy, for setting an example among your peers, your team, and those who follow the sports world.
