Although he is celebrated for winning a collegiate National Championship, four Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVP titles, what truly defines Joe Montana's career is his ability to remain cool under tremendous pressure. Montana earned the nickname "Joe Cool" for his ability to stay calm at key moments. Doubt from his coaches, controversy with his teammates, and insecurities from within drove Joe to become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Contemporary celebrities, former teammates, coaches, and mentees share their perspectives in Montana's first-hand account of his career.
