“Empowering kids through sports and education” are just words. Until one discovers how “Coach Jim” James F. Pomeroy combines state-of-the-art training methods, his business and communication savvy, and his unquenchable desire to help...to create a successful organizational model for others to emulate.
Baseball was his
first passion. Until an arm injury resulting from the incorrect way he was
taught to pitch caused him to make a detour - to the business world. That
detour was beneficial to him, business- and finance-wise. And as it turned out,
it was beneficial as well for the kids at Velocity. Velocity Sports &
Education was the organization he founded and into which he poured his
substantial resources - his time, talent, and finances. http://www.velocitysprortsedu.com
Velocity happened
because of that original baseball injury. Here, he aims to bring cutting-edge
teaching and training techniques to players of all ages, techniques that will
protect them from injury and make them stronger in sports as well as help them
gain a great education and future.
Coach Jim
educates players from age three to 25 and of all skills levels, using the
Internet to deliver information. Velocity’s programming is based on experience,
as well as research results from the American Journal of Sports Medicine: that
as much as 49 percent of young pitchers get shoulder or elbow injuries. Coach
Jim believes that, like his case, this is the result of a lack of understanding
of the way the body works. And through Velocity, he aims to educate players, as
well as parents and coaches on the correct injury-avoiding method of playing.
His approach includes:
●
Communicating with mothers of the
12-and-under kids (the key decision makers), encouraging them to watch
Velocity’s videos and downloads on better and safer playing techniques.
●
Using computer tools at the 18-and-under
level to instruct players on Velocity’s proprietary speed-enhancing program for
pitchers and position players
●
Implementing, for the 18-and-under kids,
Velocity’s College Bound program, designed to provide them with self-help tools
for successful college placement
Velocity Sports
& Education combines both for-profit and not-for-profit centers to offer
kids a safe and empowering platform to develop their sports skills and use
sports as a launching pad for a college education and a better life.
