Salt Lake Tribune coverage of the BYU Cougars.
A conversation with Stephen Covey on a flight out of Salt Lake City changed Young’s perspective at a critical moment. Years later, the BYU legend sees the days ahead of him as more important than the ones he’s left behind.
The route Laila runs is a good one, but she has to come back for an underthrown pass. The ball hits her hands and falls to the ground. The play should have been a touchdown and Menlo should have won. Instead, it loses to Sacred Heart 2-0 on a safety.Fathers are often looked to for perspective, which is the case now. But Laila’s dad is more than Dad. He’s an assistant coach for Menlo.
In 1987, Young agreed to be traded to the 49ers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the idea — promoted by 49ers coach Bill Walsh — that Montana might not play again because of back problems. But Montana’s back was strong enough to carry a team on it, and Montana did so in the 1988 and 1989 seasons, leading the 49ers to his third and fourth Super Bowl victories.
As the circumstances would have it, the Montana relationship was professional but prickly. Even olive branches had thorns. When Montana invited Young for Christmas dinner, one of Montana’s young children interrupted and asked, “Dad, is this the guy we hate?” The climb was grueling, though. Young experienced anxiety and found joy elusive. On the night before home games, he watched from the team hotel as planes took off from the airport, wishing he were on one of them. And the next morning, he didn’t want to get out of bed.
Young’s football journey is celebrated with a ring nearly the size of a golf ball, but it was about so much more. It was about reconciliation and resourcefulness, subjugation of self and survival, determination and vindication. During Menlo’s warmup before practice, Young moves fluidly as he does carioca exercises with his players.
Former NFL quarterback Steve Young, center, watches during the second half of a first-round game in the NCAA women's college basketball tournament between BYU and Auburn in Stanford, Calif., March 23, 2019. Laila, 14, is also quite an athlete, gritty and fast. A competitive dancer, she moves as if she is all soft tissue, no bones. She gets Dad to dance with her, and, good sport that he is, he permits her to post it on TikTok.
He gets the kids where they go in a 2011 Toyota Sienna minivan with 120,000 miles on it. His dream is a Mercedes Sprinter that seats 15. He would cover the floors with rubber mats, load it up with Summer, Laila and friends, and then hose it down at the end of the day. ESPN Monday Night Football commentator Steve Young is seen before an NFL football game between the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 7, 2022, in New Orleans. Young was among roughly 20 ESPN commentators and reporters who were laid off on June 30, 2023, as part of job cuts by the network.
Girls in Atherton traditionally have participated in sports such as gymnastics, water polo, golf and tennis. This is the first season Menlo has a flag football team, as California is sanctioning high school girls flag football for the first time. The enthusiasm is palpable.
