Steve Young produced some of the most memorable moments in NFL history. The Run--his electrifying 49-yard game-winning touchdown against Minnesota. The Catch II--his last-second touchdown strike against Green Bay. Then there were his record-setting six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX. But Young's most impressive victories were personal ones that were won off the field when no one was watching. QB is a remarkably revealing memoir of an athletically gifted Mormon boy with a 4.0 GPA, a photographic memory, and a severe case of childhood separation anxiety. This memoir gives readers the sense of being inside Young's helmet while he runs through opponents both on and off the field. -- adapted from book jacket.

Helpful insight on anxiety submitted by pamelawright on August 9, 2023, 8:11pm There was lots of information about football that I didn't appreciate as much as a true fan might. I enjoyed learning about how a person with extreme anxiety was able to manage it and live a good life.
