Puff Summers ’01 · TWP #41

In this episode of The Woodberry Podcast, Dr. Byron Hulsey welcomes Puff Summers ’01, a Woodberry alumnus who has taken an extraordinary journey from the Forest to basketball courts around the world, and back home again as Woodberry’s Head Varsity Basketball Coach.

Puff and Byron reflect on his years as a student, his professional basketball career, and the experiences that came from living and playing in different parts of the world. They also discuss what brought Puff back to Woodberry and what it means to now guide the next generation of Tigers.

At the heart of the conversation is the idea of coming home, returning to a place that helped shape you and finding new meaning in it from a different perspective. Puff shares what the Forest means to him today and how his experiences have shaped the coach, mentor, and person he has become.
