"Motor preferences has been one of the most transformative tools for our program. It's the only system that truly connects the dots for our players, both on and off the field. We're able to think holistically about our athletes and their development, unlocking their full potential in every aspect of the game and beyond."--Patty Gasso, Head Coach, University of Oklahoma Softball, Eight National Championships
"Motor preferences has been a game-changer for me--not just on the baseball field but in life itself. My fiancΓ©e even uses motor preferences in her daily routine, proving how this science transcends sports. Yet, its impact on baseball is unparalleled. From hitting to throwing, defense, and everything in between, MP sharpens every movement and mechanic while addressing the mental side of the game. It doesn't miss a single detail."--Matt Shaw, Chicago Cubs, First Rounder, 13th Overall
"Motor Preferences Experts provide the most impactful framework for understanding why individual athletes move the way they do. Understanding this information is like having cheat codes for personalized player development. You'll never see or teach movement the same again."--Bobby Tewksbary, Co-Founder Peletero
"The next frontier is understanding a pitcher's motor preferences. Biomechanics is becoming a cookie-cutter term. We have had all the biomechanics data for years and more injuries are happening. Why? Because so many are teaching a number and not the preferences."--Scott Emerson, MLB Pitching Coach, Oakland As
