Steve Young waited eight seasons to become a starter in the NFL, then went on to be named the highest-rated quarterback in league history and the only signal caller ever to win four consecutive NFL passing titles. He speaks on perseverance, leadership, teamwork, and the long game — the lessons from a career spent proving that patience and preparation outperform impatience and shortcuts every time. Young was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, the first left-handed quarterback so honored, and earned the MVP award for Super Bowl XXIX after throwing a then-record six touchdown passes.
