Basketball Coach, Community Activist, Father, and NCCU Hall of Famer. PBB Conversations had the privilege of interviewing Poobie Chapman about his experience heading back to his high school alma mater to coach and develop these young men through basketball.
If you have an opportunity to speak with Poobie, you quickly realize that he is a person who defies categorization and doesn't fit into any one box. But one thing is clear - he is a true leader who inspires those around him.
For Poobie, it all started with basketball. He found that sports can be a powerful tool for teaching life skills and building character. But over time, his passion for helping young men has transcended beyond the basketball court.
