Indianapolis Colts head coach and Tyndale House Publishers author Tony Dungy has been named to Time magazine's list of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World.” Dungy's photo is one of 11 personalities on the cover of the publication's May 14 issue.

“I'm flattered by this recognition because I don't necessarily see a football coach as being tremendously influential in the big scheme of things,” Dungy said. “My sister, Sherrie, is a nurse at a correctional facility. My other sister, Lauren, is a doctor. My brother, Linden, is a dentist. While my sphere of influence may be larger, I think there's a very big difference between influence and importance. What my siblings do is incredibly important.”

The Time 100 recognizes “the men and women whose power, talent or moral example is transforming our world.” The list is divided into five subsections: Leaders & Revolutionaries; Builders & Titans; Artists & Entertainers; Scientists & Thinkers; and Heroes & Pioneers-the category that features Dungy.

Besides Dungy, this year's list includes Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Pope Benedict XVI, Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Queen Elizabeth II.

Tyndale will release Dungy's memoir, Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices & Priorities of a Winning Life, July 10.
