Most baseball instruction teaches what it should look like.
Motor Preferences™ explain why it works for some players and not others.
Matthew Swope
UMD Baseball Head Coach
Implementing motor preferences with the University of Maryland baseball team has transformed my coaching approach and changed my life. By tailoring training to each player's natural movement patterns, I've seen remarkable improvements in their performance, confidence, and injury prevention, making me a more effective and empathetic coach.

Why It Works (When Nothin Else Does)
Old Way: Force every athlete through the same drills and cues → frustration, stalled progress, wasted reps, and players who stop believing in themselves.
MPE Way: First, uncover exactly how each athlete is wired to move. Then adapt your coaching instantly, so every drill connects, every cue lands, and progress happens fast.
This isn’t theory. It’s proven: Hitting coaches using the MPE system have unlocked gains of up to 21% in Batting Average, 27% in Slugging Percentage, and 18% in OPS... Pitching coaches have seen gains of up to -40% ERA & BB/9, -10% in WHIP and + 16% in K/9 ! Often within weeks, without adding practice hours or increasing injury risk.
You’re not replacing your expertise. You’re amplifying it with tools no other system can give you, turning “hard cases” into your next success stories.

“Understanding how individual constraints such as anatomical and neurophysiological factors shape movement preferences is essential to optimize skill acquisition and performance.”

"Motor preferences express stable interindividual differences in motor control strategies and represent a relevant parameter for personalizing sport training."
