Culture evolves according to the leaders and followers within a program. Culture is an "inside job." Nobody knows the MVB culture better than the coaches and the players. Together they create the ecosystem that represents "culture."
Excerpt from Coach Jagacki's post:
The page I’m sharing today highlights three questions every employee — and every athlete — is asking about their environment:
What’s important around here?
How can I make a difference? 
What’s in it for me when I do?
Return to Teddy Roosevelt's quote, "Comparison is the thief of joy." One way to "live with" comparison is by comparing ourselves to whom we were yesterday or previously. You become your standard, your "North Star."
Establish your standard of attention, preparation, effort, and recovery. Meet that standard day after day, doing your best; there should be no regret. Our best won't necessarily be the best.
When a talented group of athletes has insightful coaching with shared vision, mission, and commitment, exceptional results can happen.
It's not WII-FM (what's in it for me?). It becomes this is who we are and that is what we have become.
Lagniappe. Know who you are.
