In chapter nine, Do What We Do, Dungy discusses his main principles as a head coach. During his first training camp, he disrupted the players' usual schedule to see how they would respond to adversity. Dungy also talks about the first draft he was involved with as a head coach. The draft had alot of excitement but also some disappointment. Dungy addressed his team and how they should handle the media. He said that they should always be positive. In this chapter, Dungy emphasized how on his team, there will be "no explanations and no excuses." The 1996 season began rough, with the Buccaneers going 0-5. Yet thet rallied to finish 6-10 and the losing mentality around Tampa Bay was beginning to fade away.
Filling the Corners, chapter 10, discussed how the Buccaneers attempted to make a playoff team for 1997. It began with an outstanding draft. They began the season 5-0 but then lost three straight games. Their placekicker was struggling on the field, as he missed several fieldgoals, as well as off the field, as his mother was fighting cancer. Yet Dungy felt it was important to remain confident in him to show team unity.
Chapter eleven, Defining Success, conitinues describing the 1997 season. The buccaneers finished 10-6 and were going to the playoffs. The Buccaneers won their first playoff game but then lost to the Green Bay Packers in the second round. Dungy contrasts the different views of success. The world measures success by awards, money, and possessions. God's Word defines success as the relationship with Him and a love to serve others. The 1998 season was disappointing. The Buccaneers finished 8-8 and failed to live up to high exceptations.
