I think I'm one of the few sports fans and sports book readers among us. I like your open-mindedness about picking up that book and reading it even though you aren't a sports fan. YOU ARE A READER!!!

He is a very nice man and seems quite humble. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and don't typically like motivational types but do like sports. I found it in more inspriational than motivational and his strong faith and sense of self amazing given the world in which he works. I recommend this read.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336883798459424579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-2635407837061898102008-08-14T09:33:00.000-04:002008-08-14T09:33:00.000-04:00How was the Tony Dungy book?

I am like a proud mother of that boy!! He is amazing and like you I am staying up late to watch his races and I get sooo excited with every race. <BR/><BR/>How can such a young man have so much stamina and so much strength to keep up that routine.<BR/>He swims, eats, sleeps, does extra drug testing, interviews he can't have much time to recoup yet he has been doing so very well.<BR/><BR/>He is truly an amazing athelete. Hooray for Michael and for all that he has done to make his country proud..his friends and family proud..and most certainly himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
