triple threat
Sing, dance, act
A triple threat is someone who excels in three related skills within a field.
The term originated in American football for a player who could run, pass, and kick, but now most commonly describes a performer who can act, sing, and dance: She's a true triple threat on Broadway.
In basketball, the triple-threat position is a stance from which a player can shoot, pass, or dribble.
