Rivers discusses the relationship between character and team culture, and how a coach’s vision can positively shape both. Rivers seeks “character, not characters” in athletes when building solid team culture because athletes with character are integral to the success of a team. The coaching staff has a choice when they add team members, and it’s crucial to build a team with players of strong moral character.
