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, third on the all-time Packers list. But the awards and impressive statistics are not what fans remember most about him. 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." With a new epilogue covering Starr's life from 2004 to his death in 2019, this updated edition of "Bart Starr: When Leadership Mattered" shows with clarity and stunning insight just how true Lombardi's compliment was. The Packers would not have been the Packers without Bart Starr. - from Publisher.
