Black Belt football player

Everyone is gearing up for the Super Bowl next week. Patriots vs. Giants. Most people can identify the 2 starting quarterbacks, even if they’re not big fans. Brady vs. Eli Manning. Both spectacular athletes and quarterbacks.

But do you know who some of the other players are? Say, left tackle for the New York Giants? If you’re a hard core fan from New York you might know. Or a lineman who plays college football looking to go pro might know. Or my nephew Joey in Cleveland who is “ate up” with sports trivia would know. But most of us don’t know who the starting left tackle will be in one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

David Diehl is his name. I don’t know anything about him other than he must be one of the best in the world at what he does. A true Black Belt. (see Jan 15th post)

Not a household name, but one of the top football players in the world as evidenced by his appearance in the Super Bowl.

Do you take your job that seriously? You don’t have to be a household name to achieve excellence. Are you a Black Belt at what you do?
