Bill Belichick said, "Talent sets your floor, but character sets your ceiling."
Your character is what you do.
It's not about perfection, it's about your actions.
• It means integrity.
• It means responsibility.
• It means self-discipline.
Good character is choosing what is right over what is easy.
It means accepting that you aren't defined by your victories or defeats, but by your attitude and character in the face of adversity.
You demonstrate it through your actions, decisions, and how you treat people.
