Steve Young’s Dedication to Girls Flag Football and Uncovering Their Next Calling

ATHERTON, Calif. — In the game of flag football, freshman player Laila Young showcases her natural talent, resembling someone who has played the sport before. Her sister, Summer, who is a senior, also displays her natural abilities on the field. Laila plays the X position, while Summer plays the Z position. During a particular play, Laila’s route is on point, but she has to come back to catch an underthrown pass. Unfortunately, she drops the ball, resulting in a loss for her team. Laila’s father, who is not only her dad but also an assistant coach for Menlo School and a former NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP, offers her some perspective. He shares a personal story about a game he played in 1991 and tells Laila that her regret is similar to what he felt during that game. He encourages her to learn from the experience and turn it into a positive. Coaching this team is not just an opportunity for Laila, but also for Steve, who sees it as a sacred calling. He reflects on his own challenging journey in football, including facing criticism and doubt from fans and commentators, as well as dealing with challenging teammates. Despite these obstacles, Steve remained exuberant and dedicated to the game. Eventually, he became the starting quarterback for the 49ers and achieved great success. Steve reminds Laila of the potential in failure and encourages her to find the positive in her mistake.
