The rumor that Jamal Woodson never sleeps turns out to be unfounded.

“I sleep three-and-a-half hours a night,” said Woodson, a Murrysville resident.

Woodson, 45, seems to always be on the go, just as his long list of job titles would indicate.

Basketball is close to Woodson’s heart. A former player at Pitt Greensburg, Woodson founded the SLAAM girls AAU organization in 2012 and has served as its director and one of its coaches since the beginning. He has also been the head coach of the Baldwin girls since 2020. In addition, he’s the general sales manager at WAMO and owns a fitness facility in Monroeville called LFG Workout.

But Woodson’s impact in the community extends far beyond the basketball court, the airways and the gym. He helps run the CNX Foundation’s Mentorship Academy and is known as the “Give Back King,” a fitting title for someone who says he has given away more than $100,000 of his own money to needy and just good people over the past seven years.
