The Winning Attitude

The Superbowl was won yesterday by the Colts who beat the Bears. However, this isn’t about the game itself. This is about a coach who won the ultimate American football prize, the nice way. Tony Dungy is a coach who never talks down to his players or yells at them. He does not swear. He does not raise his voice. After the win, he acknowledged that you can do it “the Lord’s way” and succeed in the NFL. Most people would disagree, but he did it. He did not thank God for their win, as a lot of people do. Come on now, do you think God plays favorites? Why did the other team loose? Did they not pray hard enough? Nope, it is not about that. This is a coach who walks the walks every day. He leads by example. When you are genuinely nice, people notice. Dungy has the winning attitude. It’s the deep down desire to treat people with respect. If more people had it, the world would be a much, much better place.
