Career
Something of a child prodigy in the sport, González began touring internationally at fourteen, the age at which he captured the first of his many Mexican national singles titles. By his late teens, in the early 1970s, González was competitive with the world"s best players, but he never developed the penetrating power, or the deceptive wizardry, which might have allowed him to break through in badminton"s biggest events. Nevertheless, he remained a respected and dangerous opponent on the world scene for over a decade, admired for his footwork, stamina, and touch.
González played in five Thomas Cup (men"s international team) campaigns for Mexico, between 1970 and 1984, before finally losing a Thomas Cup singles match to another North American player.
His advisor at the court was for a long time his father Doctor Jorge Díaz González.
