Hull City's manager Phil Brown is a lucky guy. Most of us can't imagine having such support at work. His players are with him, dedicated to his cause to a quite extraordinary degree. So committed are they, he claims, that they are behind him 1,000,000%.
It is great to have such clear-cut backing. Far better than the confusion created by Tennis star Rafael Nadal on the even of last years Wimbledon. Then he openly admitted to only giving 200% to get himself 100% fit for the tournament. It was probably just as well he wasn't going all out, that level of fitness would, almost certainly, not be enough in the modern game.
Even that level of determination though throws a shameful light on the sportsmen and women, and business leaders, of just a few years ago, who laboured under the lazy assumption that they could expect success by only giving 110%!
When will we learn what total committment really is?
