Bart Starr was the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers from 1956
to 1971, the most meaningful and successful era of one of
football's most storied franchises. Starr was named MVP of the
first two Super Bowls and to the Pro Bowl four times. He threw for
more than 24,000 yards in his career and holds the Packer record
for most games played. But the awards and impressive statistics are
not what fans remember most about Bart Starr. As his legendary
coach, Vince Lombardi, once said, "Bart Starr stands for what the
game of football stands for: courage, stamina and coordinated
efficiency. You instill desire by creating a superlative example.
The noblest form of leadership is by example and that is what Bart
Starr is about." Bart Starr: When Leadership Mattered shows with
clarity and stunning insight just how true Lombardi's compliment
was. Drafted in the seventeenth round out of the University of
Alabama after a checkered collegiate career, Starr was just hoping
to catch the eye of an NFL team. As the 199th selection in the 1956
draft, his expectations and those of the team and fans were
limited. But Bart Starr rose above everyone's expectations to will
his way to the starting job, aided by the encouragement of
Lombardi, who became Packer head coach in 1959. This book reveals
all the details of Starr's improbable rise to stardom. It explores
his relationship with Lombardi and his guidance of the Packers from
a downtrodden franchise to five-time World Champions to two-time
Super Bowl winners. His epic battles with rivals such as the Bears
and Lions and the famous Ice Bowl are also recalled in
unforgettable fashion. But most of all, Bart Starr: When Leadership
Mattered is about a modestly talented football player who with
uncommon intelligence, grit, and leadership elevated his play and
that of his teammates. The Packers would not have been the Packers
without Bart Starr.
