Every inch matters at the highest level. But most athletes are still training against how they're built to move. Motor Preferences (MP) is a science-backed system used by elite players to train in alignment with their natural wiring—how their body actually wants to move under pressure. ✅ More efficiency ✅ Less injury risk ✅ Real performance gains Think this could help your game or your athletes? DM us “MPE” to learn more. #Baseball #WCWS #Biomechanics @Volodalen @SensorEdge

At the start of the season, athletes are very adaptable. As the season goes on, that changes. Not because they can’t make certain movements… …but because it costs more. More effort. More energy. That’s when you start to see: → Slower recovery → Less consistency → More injuries Motor Preferences explains why. Most coaches see it. Few actually know how to fix it. If you want a clear system to apply with your athletes: Start with our Level 1 eCourse ↓

Motor shoulder = upper body driver One shoulder sits more forward → shapes movement + gives easier ROM to the opposite side Front motor shoulder: Counter rotates the front side, leverages it, more aggressive into it Back motor shoulder: Keeps shoulders more in line with the target, finishes around, often feels like driving with the back shoulder This lives on a continuum + interacts with other preferences It's a small part of the mechanics that can have a major impact. Problems show up when you fight it: Back MS closing too much → inconsistent release, glove side issues, arm side high misses Front MS not using front side → spinny, poor command You can do both It just costs more For coaches trying to better understand how their athletes move, Level 1 Baseball/Softball eCourse is a great place to start. #MotorPreferences

Here’s the wild thing about Motor Preferences: You don’t grow out of them. You don’t “get stronger” and suddenly become a different mover. So the earlier players understand how their body actually produces power, the sooner development becomes intentional. Lex is 11. She’s a front side hitter. The hitting world often teaches power from the back side — load the back leg, rotate hard, firm the front. That works for some hitters. But not all. When we try to fit every athlete into one movement model, we end up slowing development instead of accelerating it. Lex just hit a ball over a 200 ft fence at 11 years old. Now imagine what happens when she gets 7 more years training inside her natural movement pattern instead of fighting it. Development isn’t about forcing athletes into a system. It’s about understanding the athlete and building the system around them.

Oklahoma leads the country with 113 HRs. They also lead the nation in Hits: 370 AVG: .457 SLG: .949 Watch their lineup and one thing stands out: No two swings look the same. Different postures Different rhythms Different ways of creating power Some hitters organize around the front leg Some around the back leg Some swing in extension Some in flexion Some create hip/shoulder separation Some swing all at once The details change. Understanding the context of the hitter matters. How do you naturally prefer to move?

Tommy Gardiner (Maryland Baseball) explaining how Motor Preferences shows up in conversations with recruits and their families. Often the biggest value isn’t just identifying how an athlete moves. It’s helping them understand why. Why certain swings work. Why some pitches give them trouble. Why their body organizes movement the way it does. Those moments where it clicks for the athlete and their family are what make the process meaningful. Full episode of this conversation on The MPE Pod. @TDubsFielding

Not every hitter needs to “get into their legs.” Ryan Costello had always been coached to sit deeper into his legs and heels. But when you watch his swing, something stands out. He immediately comes out of his legs and moves toward the front leg. Through assessment we identified a few key things: • Best balance point: right forefoot • Axis of rotation: front leg • Limited hip/shoulder separation • Power produced primarily through the shoulders The adjustment wasn’t getting deeper into the legs. It was allowing him to organize around the front leg instead of fighting it. So far this season: 9 HR. It wasn’t a strength issue. It was coordination and balance. Different hitters coordinate balance differently. How often are we asking players to move in ways their body doesn’t naturally coordinate? @RyanCostelloo #ncaabaseball

When you understand how an athlete’s body is preprogrammed to move, you can better help them as an individual. It’s not about cookie-cutter movement patterns. This has been big for us working with a switch-hitter whose swing isn’t the same on both sides.

Some hitters constantly pull off the ball or get spinny. One reason could be related to Motor Shoulder. Every athlete has one shoulder that naturally sits slightly in front of the other. That shoulder often becomes the one that helps drive direction during rotation. In Motor Preferences we commonly see two patterns (with nuance): Back Motor Shoulder Keep the shoulders more in line with the pitcher so the back shoulder can work through and drive direction. Front Motor Shoulder Allow the athlete to load the front shoulder in so when rotation happens they can maintain direction through the middle of the field. The goal isn’t to force the same swing. It’s understanding the ranges of motion the athlete naturally organizes around and coaching toward them. We go deeper on Motor Shoulder and Motor Preferences in the Level 1 Baseball/Softball eCourse.

This is so typical. Player gets coached to “stay back” “get on your back leg”— player gets back jumps or slides out of it because that particular player isn’t a back legger. They get the right info and feel free and Athletic!! If you want to simplify it, there’s not one way to create turn and power from the lower body. There’s two, (to keep it simple) Back leg or Front leg. (Front leg doesn’t mean to jump to the front side, it means the pelvis opens led by the inside of the front leg) Bonds or Trout Judge or Yordan Schwarber or Edgar Martinez This player below was out of preference and it showed.

Swing comparison: Kaytlin Greenwood — Wofford Softball 2025 52 G | 6 XBH | .267 AVG | .688 OPS 2026 20 G | 7 XBH | .339 AVG | .879 OPS Biggest adjustment wasn’t a rebuild. She was popping up out of her setup, rotating around the back leg, which caused the hands to drop. We started her taller, shortened the stride, and used the front side as the gas pedal. Now she can rotate around the front leg and get the barrel working out front. Early returns look strong. What differences do you see in the swing? 👀

Every athlete moves differently. Yet most training models try to coach athletes into the same set of mechanics. Motor Preferences is a framework for understanding how athletes naturally organize movement in hitting, pitching, and coordination. The model recognizes that movement exists on a continuum and follows the 3 laws of living relation: • Efficiency • Efficacy • Energy saving Today the framework is used by 62 Division I programs, including 31 Power 4 universities, and has been applied by 14 MLB organizations. Curious how coaches are identifying these movement patterns in their athletes? Explore the Motor Preferences Level 1 eCourse → link in bio.

If your pitcher struggles with command, can’t repeat their delivery, or is constantly sore… read this. Two common ways pitchers move off the rubber: ⬆️ Leap – more vertical force and extension down the mound ⬇️ Drag – more horizontal force and tension into release Both can work. Both can produce elite pitchers. But how an athlete organizes force off the rubber influences everything that follows: Timing Sequencing Release If the current style is leading to: • soreness • inconsistent command • declining velocity …it might not be a work harder problem. It might be a style fit problem. There isn’t one right model. There’s a right system for each pitcher. What style do you see more often? #NFCA #wcws #softball

Pretty cool differences here how players organize movement to achieve the same goal. (Observationally) Holliday a more Aerial mover compared to Westburg a more Terrestrial mover. Watch how they initiate movement out of the box and interact with the ground. Forefoot/Midfoot/Heel dominance. Each piece of observation is a small piece to the larger puzzle. Observe how well natural patterns like walking/running compared to the way they play can tell us a lot of information about the athlete. #MotorPreferences
