And what a tough night here in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The San Francisco 49ers fall to the Raiders,

12-6 in a hard-fought defensive battle. Rough night for Steve Young. Two interceptions at critical

moments. Steve Young was the interceptions at critical moments.

Steve Young was the new full-time starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in 1991.

He'd spent years backing up star player Joe Montana.

Now it was supposed to be his time to shine.

But it wasn't going well.

He'd later drops the ball at the goal line, resulting in a touchback and taking a TV off the board. And drops the football.

What a terrible day for Steve.

He'd later describe how he was feeling in this moment as the lowest of his life.

Fumble!

He fumbles.

He got out of town after that game with the Raiders, leaving with a bruised ego and a sense

that maybe he'd hit his limit.

On his return flight, Young found himself sitting next to Stephen Covey, author of The Seven

Habits of Highly Effective People.

He poured out his frustrations to Covey, who listened and then asked,

do you want to see how good you can get?

Covey explained his perspective that Young had an incredible opportunity,

along with his legendary coach and a Hall of Fame mentor,

to discover his true potential if he changed his mindset.

Young realized he had been playing the victim.
