In A Game of Character: A Family Journey from Chicago’s Southside to the Ivy League and Beyond, Craig Robinson takes readers behind the scenes to meet his family and the other important influences in his life who have contributed to his success both on and off the basketball court. The result is a stunning tribute to his parents, coaches, and other mentors who have contributed to his ongoing search for what it truly means to have character.

Craig shares rich, heartwarming stories of what life was like growing up with Fraser and Marian Robinson and his sister, Michelle - from days playing street basketball while excelling academically; to dodging third-grade girls chasing him home thanks to Michelle’s sisterly protection; to family outings to the drive-in and grandparents’ homes; to summers at Dukes Happy Holiday Resort; to admission to Princeton University, where he was twice named Ivy League Player of the Year. The fundamentals Craig learned from his family are evidenced today in his coaching style and family life.
