EPISODE 8: Jim Sorgi and Joey Vandever on ProTeam Tactical’s Mission
In this episode of ‘Finding 44,’ Krissi and Larra chat with former professional athletes Jim Sorgi and Joey Vandever, who have found a new purpose post-retirement by launching ProTeam Tactical.
ProTeam Tactical aims to provide elite sports performance-level care to first responders. Inspired by their personal experiences and family ties to the first responder community, Jim and Joey discuss the lack of adequate support services available and their journey to address these needs through both physical and mental health care.
They highlight the holistic approach of ProTeam Tactical and the significance of the newly launched ProTeam Foundation, aimed at making these services accessible despite financial constraints.
Jim and Joey touch on their personal transitions from sports to business, the overwhelming response from the first responder community, and the life-saving impact their services have already had.
Choosing to show up for others is what Finding 44 is all about, and Jim and Joey are great examples of using their platform to make a difference.
