Coaches Education
Stop copying systems built for someone else’s athletes.
Most coaching models assume one technical ideal.
Real athletes don’t work that way.
If you’re still applying the same mechanical template to every player, you’re guessing — not coaching.
Motor Preferences™ gives you a framework to understand:
- Why some athletes adapt instantly
- Why others fight the same cue for years
- Why progress breaks down under pressure
This isn’t another certification. It’s a competitive advantage.
Because the next level of coaching isn’t louder instruction : it’s individualization.

MLB Pitching Coach
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

- E-courses / sport: level 1, 2 &3
- Clinics / sport: level 1, 2 & 3
PATHWAY:
Education recommended up to High School:
- Pro Sport Level 1 E-course = Level 1
Education recommended for NCAA & professional athletes
- Sport Specific clinic or Pro Sport Level 1 & 2 = Level 2
- Sport Specific clinic & Pro Sport Level 1 & 2 = Level 3
- More than 4 certifications (mix of clinics & e-courses) = Level 4
- More than 5 certifications (mix of clinics & e-courses) = Level 5
- More than 6 certifications (mix of clinics & e-courses) = Level Expert
After completing a clinic or e-course, participants receive a “Completed Education Award.”
So, why do we call it that instead of a certification?
1. Our education process is always evolving—completing one level is just the beginning!
2. Just because someone is “certified” in something doesn’t make them qualified.
3. MP takes time to learn, apply, and master—expertise doesn’t happen overnight.
MPE suggests participants proudly recognizing themselves as MPE Trained
