Pro Sports E-course Level 1
Access & register to Volodalen online learning center
Our Pro Sports Level 1 E-Course offers a comprehensive, sport-agnostic introduction to motor preferences, using examples from a variety of athletic disciplines. The course introduces our unique model highlighting key concepts of flexion and extension, then takes a deep scientific dive into the Aerial vs. Terrestrial movement spectrum. Participants will explore 3–4 core motor preferences, learn how to apply the Move Dial, and begin to integrate preference-based strategies at a foundational level. Practical exercises are provided to reinforce concepts around movement mechanics and preference expression. This course is ideal for coaches, trainers, and movement professionals looking to build a strong, science-backed foundation in motor preferences.

It’s the first time in 7–8 years of working in softball that I haven’t had a player require postseason surgery. By integrating Motor Preferences™ into our program, I’ve seen a real difference in how athletes stay healthy, recover faster, and perform at a higher level. This approach has been a game-changer for both injury prevention and overall player development.
