You Can Do It

by Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy's little brother Linden is having a bad day. Linden is the youngest of the Dungy family and everyone seems to have his or her special talent. When a class assignment has him thinking about his future, Linden begins to worry that he may never find his calling. All Linden knows is that he wants to help people and make them happy. With encouragement from his parents, a visit to the dentist and some big-brotherly guidance from Tony, Linden learns that if he dreams and has faith, any goal can be achieved.

Tony Dungy and his wife Lauren Dungy are active members of a number of family, faith, and community-based organizations, including All Pro Dad, iMom, Fellowship of Chrstian Athletes, Mentors for Life, Family First, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and the Boys and Girls Club of America. Tony is a former NFL player and retired head coach of the 2006 Superbowl Champions, the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League.
