Meet Coach CB: The 6-Year-Old Coach Who’s Captivating the Sports World

By: Justin Bradley | Sportzwire | August 4, 2025

Every so often, someone comes along who captures the spirit of sports in a way that feels both electric and entirely unexpected. Coach Christopher Bess—known to the world as Coach CB—is doing just that. At only 6 years old, he’s not just tagging along to games. He’s in locker rooms giving pep talks, on sidelines calling plays, and racking up millions of views while “coaching his whole butt off.”

This week, Coach CB joins Paul, Brian, and Jordan on The Game Time Athletics Podcast, powered by SportzWire, to share his journey, his love for basketball, and how he’s already learned the fine art of giving both encouragement and tough love. (Just ask Jordan, who earned himself 47 laps for being late to practice.)


The Coach Who’s Still in Grade School

Coach CB hails from Tarboro, North Carolina, where his dad is a high school basketball coach. His early love for the game came naturally—growing up around practices and game nights, he quickly developed an eye for the sidelines rather than the scoreboard.

What started as adorable cameos in team huddles turned into full-blown viral moments. Decked out in his own coaching gear, CB’s pregame speeches struck a chord with the internet. One clip, in which he proudly declares that he “coaches his whole butt off,” turned into a defining moment—and a meme.

But it wasn’t just the cuteness that stuck. It was the confidence, the fire, and the way this young coach made it clear: he wasn’t pretending. He was serious about leadership, hustle, and teamwork.


A Star is Born

Coach CB’s rise hit a new level after his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he shared stories of early mornings, his favorite “coffee” (apple juice), and his dream to coach in the NBA, NFL, WNBA—or wherever his heart takes him.

In one memorable moment, Hudson gifted him a Los Angeles Lakers jersey and tickets, after he revealed he missed a game on a past visit. His excitement was as real as his ambition.

Since then, CB’s fanbase has exploded. From TikTok clips to motivational reels, he’s become a symbol of what makes youth sports great: passion, personality, and pure love for the game.


Game Time with Coach CB

On this week’s podcast, Coach CB doesn’t disappoint. He shares:

  • How he shut out his dad on the court (allegedly).
  • His unforgettable meeting with WNBA legend Lisa Leslie—and why she’d “absolutely dunk on him.”
  • His coaching philosophy (“zone defense all the way”).
  • The hilarious story behind helping “Paul Bo” rediscover his shot.

It’s a blend of wisdom beyond his years and the genuine innocence that makes him such a unique force in sports media.


Bigger Than Basketball

Coach CB may only be six, but his dreams are bigger than most grown-ups'. His goal isn’t just to be on the court—it’s to lead others to greatness, no matter the level.

And while he’s got years before official titles, Coach CB already holds one that matters most: inspiration.
