Motor Preferences Experts, LLC

Understanding human movement has layers.

Last week, David Genest (@AKA_WitchDoctor) led our Level 2 Primitive Reflex clinic, giving coaches hands-on experience with another piece of understanding the athlete.

Motor Preferences is part of a much bigger picture.

And this is only Level 2.

Keep learning. Keep going deeper.

This is only the beginning, much more to come!

Movement patterns can tell us a lot about how an athlete naturally prefers to move.

Watch Bobby Witt Jr. and notice the consistent themes across his swing, fielding, and even jogging.

These tendencies can show up across different movements and sports.

As coaches, are we recognizing those individual patterns, or sometimes coaching athletes away from the very tendencies that make their movement unique?

What sport or skill benefits from an athlete being unbalanced?

At MPE, we focus on identifying where each athlete naturally finds balance and prefers to create movement.

Understanding those individual preferences gives coaches a better starting point for addressing movement, vision, timing, and overall development.

Maya Brady had a lower stance at UCLA. More recently in pro ball, she's noticeably taller.

What if understanding a hitter's Motor Preferences and listening to their feedback could help us better determine when an adjustment makes sense and what that adjustment should be?

Understanding an athlete's Motor Preferences can help coaches make more informed decisions about when and how to make adjustments.

Look at the differences in flexion and extension.

Some hitters organize better deeper into their legs. Others prefer more extension.

A cue like "get lower" might help one hitter and lead another to becoming imbalanced.

Understanding where each athlete finds balance matters.
