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
