The NFL icon on his career and what it takes to become a champion
With two Super Bowl rings and a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Tony Dungy is an NFL legend. Kicking off his career as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dungy later transitioned to coaching, reinvigorating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the ‘90s and leading the Indianapolis Colts to win Super Bowl XLI. Since his 2008 retirement, Dungy has been a fixture on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, where he brings insight to the games.
He’s also the author of two New York Times bestselling books. And as the father of 10 children, it makes sense that he’d turn his writing skills to pen books for a younger crowd. Recently, Dungy teamed up with his wife Lauren to pen sports-related children’s books. Dungy spoke to Furthermore about what makes a champion, what he does with his Super Bowl rings, and what he hopes his latest reads will do for kids.
