Thanks, Steve, for sharing your story with one of your biggest fans!"--<b>Tom Brady</b> <br> "Steve was extraordinary in every facet of life.

What a man!" --<b>Jim Nantz</b>, CBS Sports <br> "All football fans know what a tremendously talented and successful quarterback Steve Young was in his NFL career. But what they don't know about are the challenges and personal obstacles Steve had to overcome to make his dreams come true. This is a most exciting and compelling story."--<b>Roger Staubach</b> <p/><b>A stunningly candid look at what it takes to become a super-elite professional quarterback</b> <p/> Steve Young produced some of the most memorable moments in NFL history. But his most impressive victories have been deeply personal ones that were won when no one was watching. <i>His</i> remarkably revealing memoir is the story of a Mormon boy with a 4.0 GPA, a photographic memory, and a severe case of separation anxiety. <br> As an eighth-string quarterback at Brigham Young University, it was doubtful that he would ever see any playing time. But Young became an All-American, finished second in the Heisman voting, and was the top draft choice out of college. Then, after signing the largest contract in sports history, anxiety nearly drove him to walk away from football completely. <br> In short, Young's quest in life was always about grit. Now, he shares the experience of being inside his helmet while he faces down his toughest adversaries, both on and off the field.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Steve Young is a hero of mine, and his story is a source of inspiration for me.
