Book Club - Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, and Priorities of a Winning Life
2020-11-13 11:00 - 17:00
Our book club has been a hit so far so we’re keeping it going. Join us as we read and meet to discuss a book of the group’s choosing over a four week period.
The book selected for this session is “Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, and Priorities of a Winning Life” by Tony Dungy. Tony Dungy’s words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How was this coach able to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family―and challenges us all to reevaluate our ideas of what it means to succeed.
A zoom call will be set up for Friday, November 13, at 1:00 pm ET to discuss the book along with discussion questions.
You should be able to access this book through apple iBook; amazon kindle; nook barnes and noble, audiobooks, etc., or you may want to try local library via ebooks checkout.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Disclaimer: Book titles are randomly selected. PVA does not receive compensation for featuring any particular book.
