A little pick-me-up before you go.

Coach CB can be seen drawing up basketball plays on his clipboard, clapping for his players and even giving halftime pep talks. He also happens to be 5 years old. Christopher Bess, the son of coach Reggie Bess at North Carolina's Tarboro High School, adorably mimics his dad's mannerisms in a series of viral videos.
