CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - "Crimson Character" is a video series featuring Harvard head coaches answering questions about their philosophy and thought process as leaders of their respective programs. Today, we wrap up the three-part series with Ted Minnis (men's and women's water polo), Daria Schneider (men's and women's fencing) and Josh Shapiro (men's soccer) by asking them how they turn failure into a culture of winning.

In the first two editions with Minnis, Schneider and Shapiro, the group discussed how they find and develop leaders and what makes a Harvard team.

In the inaugural episodes of the series, meanwhile, we asked Andrew Rueb '95 (men's tennis), Katey Stone (women's ice hockey) and Jay Weiss (wrestling) for their thoughts on how they would describe a Harvard student-athlete, what do Harvard coaches look for and how they build a culture of excellence.
