Steve youngs childhood biography
•
Steve Young’s autobiography came out last year, and we put off reviewing it for quite a while. With the bye week slowing things down a bit for me, I finally was able to dedicate a few hours to finishing this. The first thing to remember when talking about Steve Young’s autobiography, QB: My Life Behind the Spiral, is that the original intent of the book was for Young to write something to hand off to his kids. Something that showed the family how Young fought with adversity and his journey through the NFL. Obviously, the story of Steve Young is one that more people besides his kids would want to read, so we can be thankful the book is out at all.
But despite what should be a great subject matter, and what should write itself, the book fails to be interesting half the time and is almost a chore to read.

Steve Young biography

I just finished with Steve Young’s book “QB: My Life Behind the Spiral.” He is one of my all-time favorite athletes. I moved to the Bay Area about the time Steve was acquired by San Francisco. I had heard bits and pieces about his anxiety issues but had no idea what he went through. Having a family members that have struggles with the same thing helped me understand what he went through. Steve Young is an upstanding Mormon living in the greater San Francisco area. You couldn’t ask for a better ambassador for the Church in an area that probably still harbors ill-will towards the Church over the Prop 8 issue. Steve and his wife have done a lot of great charity work including helping children and LGTB young adults. He’s a man with a good heart and has stayed grounded in spite of his success. Even if you were never much of a fan, read his book and you will be by the time you finish. By the way, I’m not getting any kickbacks on his book sales.
