It has been six month since Tony Dungy retired from his NFL career, but it is still too early for him to leave football world.
Dungy proved that his passion and vigor for football never faded by accepting a bigger challenge than winning games and rings-to help others. His tasks range from mentor Michael Vick after he was released from jail to advising high school athletes through an instructional movie. As a former football player in nfl jersey and coach of the league, his experience and distinction in football have made him a trustable mentor and friend to those who need help and advices for athlete career.
“It’s a chance for me to not necessarily just speak to 23 to 35-year-old football players,” Dungy said from his Florida home. “I talked at the Northwestern Mutual annual meeting and have spoken to junior high kids. It’s been exciting and the Vick thing has taken on a life of its own.”
The famous Vick case just proved that he was really the very person to take the mission. And now Dungy still enjoys the fast-paced life of football world and has been so busy that he turned down an appointment to President Barack Obama’s faith-based advisory council.

Indianapolis Colts: The post-Dungy era begins
Tony Dungy's leaving the Colts brought up a lot of changes as well as questions to the team.
Jim Caldwell can be considered as a good coach, and he was promoted within the system – the same system that has made the Colts contenders for years – but that doesn’t hide the fact that this is still a transition year. To players, change is usually an unwelcome aspect of the game. What matters? Are meetings longer, shorter? Do they lift at the same times during camp? Do the veterans get days off? Is there more hitting or less? These seem like minor details to you, but since players are used to a certain routine, they will not be happy with changes, especially in the Colts where the veterans are use to the Tony Dungy routine. Without Dungy, some of them may change their mind to put on miami dolphins jerseys.
But they have to face the changes. they will have to learn new experience from Caldwell in the training camp. The coming regular season will tell us a lot how the changes will benifit the Colts.
