Performance Under Pressure
Steve Young has encountered seemingly insurmountable challenges at every step of his football career. Though under continuous pressure, Young never lost touch with his own identity. Whether scrambling to avoid the clutches of blitzing linebackers or trying to live up to impossible expectations placed on him by 49er fans, Young remained devoted to community, religion, and his fierce desire to succeed. Young’s focus and commitment shines through in this presentation in which he inspires audiences to be true to themselves and never let go of your dream.
