Where my heart is, is really with our young men right now,” he said after ending his 31-year NFL career last month. “We have so many guys that didn’t grow up like me, didn’t have their dad there and that’s something I’m very, very interested in.”
In Uncommon, Dungy reveals lessons on achieving significance that he has learned from his parents, his athletic and coaching careers, his mentors, and his journey with God. The book particularly focuses on what it means to be a man of significance in a culture that is offering young men few positive role models.
“Our young men today are falling into a trap,” says Dungy. “Society is telling them material success is what’s important, but if we buy into that idea, we can spend a lifetime chasing that success and never really have the positive impact on people that would make our lives truly significant.”
