Sports Career Coaches Set to Throw Out First Pitch During Spring Training
As pitchers and catchers report for spring training this week, a group of sports education and career development specialists are busy preparing students and graduates to develop their own “pitches”- off the playing field.
Diamond Sports Business Education Group announces an industry first, the Diamond Sports Perfect Pitch™, a video resume service developed by a team of experts in sports education and management, human resources and sports media, in response to the growing demand for improved communications skills and specialized career development services in the growing, global $400B sports business industry.

The Diamond Sports Perfect Pitch™ offers prospective job candidates the opportunity to work with a Diamond Sports career coach to develop and post their “eResume” in a secure online database, and for employers to access and review for possible job openings and internship opportunities. This new and innovative tool allows job seekers to gain a competitive edge, utilizing state of the art professional studio production technology currently used by the NBA, MLB and the NY Giants. The Diamond Sports Perfect Pitch™ and “Baseline” career assessment tools offer a unique resource for employers to save time and money, and for aspiring employees to develop the skills, insight, and information necessary to prepare for a career in sports.
“Diamond Sports has come up with a perfect matchup with their Perfect Pitch™, providing a truly innovative tool for employers and employees alike to take advantage of new media, and present better, more qualified and prepared candidates” said John Fontana, founder and president of human resource consulting firm The Fontana Group, and former president of the Hudson Valley Society for Human Resource Management. “In my over 30 plus years in the field, I have never seen a better platform to link qualified candidates with HR professionals and hiring managers”. According to Brian Crowell, NBC golf analyst and winner of the PGA Horton Smith award for his contributions to education in golf: “It has been a great experience working with the Diamond Sports team to develop the Perfect Pitch. They have really come out and set the pace for developing the talent and skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive job market”
