Stop watching sports: how we can better the lives of black men | Brandon Gamble | TEDxCSULB

What if sports are hindering our potential for success? What if we offered education instead? Dr. Brandon Gamble’s research finds startling evidence of the negative impact professional sports has in the black community, especially among black youth.

Dr. Brandon Gamble served middle and high school students as a school psychologist in the Long Beach Unified School District before becoming an associate professor at Cal State University Long Beach, in the College of Education for the Educational Psychology program and has had the honor to serve as the advisor for the Black Student Union at CSULB. Dr. Gamble's written work and research has focused on African American male's social capital and familial support networks that empower young men to succeed in academics. He is currently the liaison of the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) to CASP, and as of Spring 2016, has been elected as the Western Regional representative of the ABPsi.
