Access & Register to the 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 sports and athletic disciplines. This course is designed for coaches, trainers, strength & conditioning professionals, and movement specialists looking to build a deeper understanding of how athletes naturally move.

Participants will be introduced to the foundational concepts of flexion and extension, the Aerial vs. Terrestrial movement spectrum, the Move Dial, and several core Motor Preferences. Practical exercises and movement examples are included throughout the course to help reinforce application and understanding.

This course covers approximately half of the core Motor Preferences. The remaining preferences are covered in the Pro Sports Level 2 E-Course.

If you are specifically a baseball or softball coach, we recommend the Baseball/Softball Level 1 E-Course, which is sport-specific and covers all 8 Motor Preferences in detail.

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.

I’ve explored every system and style out there. I expected more of the same, until MPE proved me wrong within minutes. MPE delivers the anchor points every athlete needs, and I’m blown away by what I’ve learned !
