I know coaches will often look to mix things up in the off-season and Stiles did this as well with a lot of team building activities. Beach work up the Sunshine Coast. Scavenger hunts around the city. Stair sessions at Kangaroo Point, etc etc.
Stiles is a big one for team culture, again as most coaches would be. I guess it just comes down to what 'culture' means for each organisation. I can't speak for the Reds or Stiles but I'd suggest a big one will be accountability.
Again, coaches will look for ways to bond the team and build that culture. Cheika did it with that Waratah team with the Coogee Bay stairs (I think it was). Stiles seemed to look to do it with boxing. They did a lot of sessions with Mark "Chopper" Burgess who was a boxer in his own right, but has been involved at the Broncos and the Warriors. There were a lot of pure conditioning sessions but also a lot of bouts where players would face off against themselves but then also against Chopper himself. In know Stiles was really pleased with the sessions and what the team got out of it, more than just better conditioning.
