Magic Of Sport and James F. Pomeroy II


“The Magic Touch” with Finance Acumen

By Blogging Diane, Duxbury, MA USA

James F. Pomeroy II, financial acumen and a magic touch?   But how did this positively impact the communities or countries where he did business? The most recent example of James “working magic” can be found on Cape Cod and in Southern New Jersey!

What happens when an attractive, successful businessman who has committed his entire life to empowering kids through sport and education tackles college placement and finance?  The result is hard work, international recognition and a foundation that places kids across the country.

James F. Pomeroy II is a well-known philanthropist and leading finance entrepreneur who has launched several successful ventures in  real estate, finance, financial engineering, sports, and sports education. He has opened a number of consulting and financial services groups specializing in funding developing-stage companies, his area of expertise.  Mr. Pomeroy has completed financing over 90 corporate and project financings world wide in his career.  Now his focus remains on empowering kids through his foundation --Velocity Sports and Education and in picking amazing business projects like the Magic.   www.magicsportscomplex.com 

On the other hand, Magic Sports Complex and Resort, located in New Jersey, is a project with  the potential to influence the lives of millions of kids in the region by offering a safe environment for kids to combine education and sport play. With a projected US400M in financing requirements, it aims to provide positive role models in “ kid empowerment,”  as well as employment for some 3,000 to 6,000 people in a region that is described, economically, as lower-middle-income America.

James F. Pomeroy II has put his financial skills and resources to work for Magic. He has created a unique finance structure  - one that takes a conventional real estate financing project and propels the underlying financial instruments that investors can purchase into more institutional risk classes, therefore mitigating the potential loss of principal.  According to James, this means that socio-economic investment models can be reborn and people can make money, helping people! He added, “  That is one of the things America was built on, and the Corporate and Financial America have lost.”

Helping put Magic Sports Complex and Resort on its financial feet is just the most recent example of how James F. Pomeroy II has used his finance and investment acumen to work for the greater good. He has also engineered financial products designed to correct problems created by the global financial crisis - and has built professional relationships over the years in many parts of Africa, Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, the Pacific Rim and the United States.  www.velocitysportsedu.com

Life and Success: James F Pomeroy II


James F. Pomeroy II (Coach Jim ) on Life and Success


Internationally acclaimed for his myriad achievements, James F. Pomeroy II is a great source of advice - garnered through years of experience - on what qualities and behaviors it takes to succeed in business, sports, and life.

James F. Pomeroy II - international finance expert, best-selling author and philanthropist, and the man credited with helping thousands of kids use sports to go to better colleges through his Velocity Sports & Education project - is obviously a man of action.

But he is also a man of (not so few) inspiring words. Here are just a few examples. At the announcement of the long-term agreement between Velocity and its not-for-profit affiliate Sport Training Foundation, thus facilitating its mission to help kids in the US and worldwide, Mr. Pomeroy said this:

There is only so much energy in the universe.  I cannot think of anything better in the world to do than to give back to a single child.  If we concentrate on making that one mind and body stronger, four will follow.  Before long, we can influence change across a family, a village, a town, a city and maybe even a country.  Giving back only positions the world to help just a little.

On improving performance, whether in the corporate arena, in an educational environment, or in a sports-related situation, Mr. Pomeroy advised thus:

An interesting reality that we often forget to do! Stay in the present. I am reminded by my kids when we talk about flushing the past or bad performances. If we are tied to the past our energy is stuck there. If we are projecting so intensely the future, we forget the right now...Our focus is to feel our way to success, working and training hard, but releasing ourselves from bindings of the past...

On using sports to improve not just athletic performance, but also educational opportunities and, ultimately, one’s ability to improve oneself and the broader community, Coach Jim says:

Velocity...is a ...safe haven to learn and prosper...Through sport and education ...they learn the strength and commitment to exact change in their broader community and within themselves...The Velocity Sports & Education family will use every means possible to bring new teaching techniques to protect kids and make them stronger in sport. Then help them support a great educational life as well."

And on whether the Velocity method works? Here’s the answer “straight from the horse’s mouth:”

If we told you that you could increase your arm speed safely by at least three MPH while strengthening your shoulder and elbow that takes less than 20 minutes a day to achieve...would it get done? Out of 300 high school position players and pitchers that have completed the Velocity program, all increased arm speed by at least 3 mph in just 4 weeks.

It’s clear that Coach Jim talks the talk, but also walks the walk!  www.velocitysportsedu.com

In this spirit, and as a way of giving back to the community, he founded Velocity. His aim: To empower kids across the nation, one training center at a time.

But empowering kids takes many forms. One of them is to offer cutting-edge and Internet-driven training on techniques for playing baseball and other sports the right way - for example, how to pitch the correct way - so as to prevent sports injuries. The other way is to help with scholarships and college placement for deserving athletes - a concept that has placed Velocity on the map and earned accolades for Pomeroy. So far, James F.

James F. Pomeroy II: Magic Touch


James F. Pomeroy II’s “Magic Touch”
on New Sports Complex Project

James F. Pomeroy ii’s association with Magic Sports Complex & Resort could bode well for the ambitious 400-acre project now going up in New Jersey. His business expertise, financial investments, and most of all, his sports and education experience may well be the “magic touch” that’ll make the project a success.

James F. Pomeroy has touched hundreds of thousands of kids’ lives through Velocity Sports & Education - the successful and life-changing organization that helps kids through baseball training and college placement programs. He has also achieved a first-rate reputation in finance and business through his work with Archibald Albright at Drexel Burnham and at his own financial and investment consultancies. Now he merges his two areas of expertise to help make “magic happen.”

Magic Sports Complex & Resort is a state-of-the-art indoor/outdoor complex that’s designed to host sports and recreational activities, health and wellness programs, and other special events. The addition of top-notch hotels, conference facilities, and outdoor water parks should only serve to make this a major attraction in the northeastern United States and, subsequently, in other parts of the country where there are plans to build similar projects.

James F. Pomeroy II is uniquely positioned to help Magic Sports Complex & Resort achieve success. The project aims to be the venue for youth sports programs, amateur competitions and tournaments, sports instruction and training for physically- or mentally-challenged athletes, and even sports-related career training such as radio and TV broadcasting. According to Mr. Pomeroy, part of the agreement between him and the Magic organization is the adoption of the sports training methodologies and programs that he has successfully deployed at Velocity Sports & Education.

He said, “For the last ten years, and recently together with our not-for-profit affiliate, we have helped kids improve their sports skills, master tactics for avoiding (or re-habbing) sports injuries, gain confidence - and use these new-found abilities to better their educational future. It is my hope that we can use these same tools at the Magic Sports Complex - and spread the success of Velocity to benefit even more kids, teens, and young adults.”

When asked why he decided to partner with Magic, Mr. Pomeroy replied, “Look, I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I saw this as an opportunity to help another enterprise using my finance and investment background, as well as my passion for kids and sports. The business model is a bit similar to Velocity and for sure, the objective is the same - to help kids use sports to improve their lives.”
