Joe Montana

Touchdown!! What an 11 yard touchdown to wide receiver Dwight Clark! The crowd goes wild for the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have beaten the cowboys by an amazing catch by Clark. This book, Joe Montana, was written by Jack Kavangh and is a biography about this famous football player. It's a good book for people who like sports. I recommend it especially for football fans. When Joe Montana was in college he was a star. He was measured as a winning quarter back. He never lost a Super Bowl and never used only one player in a game. Joe Montana was a team player; he got everybody in the game and encouraged others to do well. I was inspired by his work and his talent. He led the 49ers to four Super Bowls and was the most valuable player of Super Bowl XVI and XXIV. After these wins, I wanted to know if he had bad times in his career. Joe went to Ringgold high school and played three different sports. He played basketball, baseball, and football. He was a star in all three sports. I was amazed at this. This success shows that you can do what you want to do. That made Joe Montana an athlete and in shape to play any sport. His parents had pushed him in to sports to get a scholarship. Soon he did and went to Notre Dame University with a full scholarship in athletics. In Notre Dame he was a star in football. As a freshman he made the varsity team, making him the first freshman ever to make varsity at Notre Dame. I was most inspired by this success. Playing as quarterback, Joe Montana felt he had to win every game. He even won the 1979 Cotton Bowl. After college, was the NFL for Joe Montana? He was drafted in the 3rd round to the 49ers. He had sickness problems through out seasons and games. Joe even missed one full season because he had a bad illness. But Joe Montana persevered and brought the 49ers to four Super Bowls wins. Joe Montana was a star in high school, college, and in the NFL. I think Joe Montana is a role model to kids who have big dreams like he had. Jack Kavangh writes a good biography about Joe Montana. This book expresses how Joe Montana is and the author includes great details about his life. Joe Montana is a great book and I also recommend it to people who are looking for a role model. If I was amazed, you will be to.
