Lets take a step into the world of Motor Preferences

Motor Preferences offers key insight into how players should and shouldn’t move

It helps give context and understanding into why some players are able to do certain things and be in specific positions that work while others may favor something else and still be able to get a positive result

While we know that certain anatomical and physical adaptations play a role in everything, motor preferences can serve to get us closer to the truth and save players and coaches time in the development of an athlete

When it comes to an Aerial and a Terrestrial these are just 2 categories that can help to get a coach closer to the answers needed for athletes and what they need. In the video we see two different jumping patterns.

The athlete on the left and 1st jumper in the video can be classified as a terrestrial. In the jumping pattern we see more horizontal force production rather than vertical. The aerial pattern displays more vertical force while also landing more on his forefoot rather than with his whole foot.

Both types of movements allow each person to accomplish the jump in the most efficient and strongest way possible.

As coaches is it imperative that we allow athletes to express their natural movement patterns in their own way. If we force athletes to move out of their preferences this can lead to multitude of problems including inefficiency and injury.

There are plenty of other factors that go into play and it isn’t just as simple as “Player X is Terrestrial, so they need to only do this or that”

Many other Motor Preferences and context is needed to make the best decisions for a player and their overall development

Different athletes. Different movement strategies. Individualized development.

Motor preference testing, individualized strength programming, and throwing/hitting assessments all working together to build a complete picture of each athlete.

Stop forcing athletes into a system. Build the system around the athlete.

Preference by Nature. Elite by Design. #motorpreferencesexperts #playerdevelopment #louisianabaseball #baseball by @nomad_baseball

THE COLLECTIVE | INDIVIDUALIZED DEVELOPMENT. TEAM-WIDE IMPACT.

Different athletes. Different movement strategies. Different needs. One common goal — maximize each player’s potential.

The Collective brought together Nomad Baseball, K9 Baseball Development, Casey White, and Propel Hitting for a comprehensive team assessment with North Gwinnett High School Baseball.

Our focus went beyond collecting data.

We evaluated each athlete through motor preference assessments and force plate testing to better understand how they naturally move, produce force, and organize their bodies.

But the real value is in the IMPLEMENTATION.

Taking that information, educating players and coaches, and showing them how to apply it to individualized training, player development, and the overall baseball program.

Because the goal isn’t to make every athlete move the same. It’s to understand what makes each athlete different and build a development process around it.

Four groups. One Goal!
Huge thank you to North Gwinnett High School for trusting The Collective with their athletes and program.

How can we begin to make meaningful changes early in a pro offseason?

The skill demand is really low early in the pro offseason with no high intent throwing, no mound work, etc

So how do you challenge a pro pitcher early in the offseason?

In this instance, we are:

Challenging a pitcher’s ability to subconsciously make adjustments in real time

Constraining movements to allow the athlete to search for new movement solutions

With the goals of:

Allowing the athlete to search for new solutions

Understanding what solutions and limitations the athlete currently has

Keeping the athlete engaged in a low-intensity throwing phase

Change the target, ball flight, implement, and ultimately the task. Not randomly. But systematically moving the athlete towards new and more efficient solutions to solve for a certain variable.

Good day of work from @bassinger29 here by @nomad_baseball

When working on changing or cleaning up the arm action, there are many ways to go about it

Knowing as much as you can about the athlete is key 🔑

Being able to properly diagnose the root cause of the issue is also incredibly important 👨‍⚕️

By removing variables, we can funnel the movement solution towards a more healthy or efficient option ✅

These options serve as a starting point and have to be progressed towards throws that more resemble the mound or the environment the athlete has to perform in

As always, transfer is everything

Going to start showing my face on here more 😬 so feel free to drop a comment and let me know what you think or any topics you’d like me to cover by @nomad_baseball

Improving command with specific vision cues 👁️ 🎯

We see because we move and we move because we see.

You can’t separate vision and movement. Everything matters and it’s all interconnected.

When you know a pitcher’s target eye, motor preferences, and vision quadrant, cool things can happen with command

Garret ( @garret_carter1 )is an elite arm but struggles a little bit with FB command/control. This bullpen we focused on driving the heater to the glove side.

When Garret tries to get to his glove side, he has a tendency to open early which ends up in an arm side miss or a pull-yank.

Earlier in the week, we played around with a visual target during his drill work and it improved both his command and his head positioning into ball release.

The cue in this video is very specific to Garret and won’t work for everyone.

But when starting to address a command/control issue—start with the question “where are you looking?” and then “what do you see?”

Some guys can lock in on the intended target, others need to find it late, and others need to see it out of their peripheral vision first. by @nomad_baseball

Get out of the sweeper mindset to throw a slider with more sweep… 🤔

In this bullpen with @r_sanford14 we wanted to focus on slider shape as it had been inconsistent and lacked depth, often turning into more of a lifty cutter.

Rob has a pronation bias but had been trying to create a lot of horizontal movement on his slider.

For better or for worse, the shape you try to create with a pitch will dictate how the arm, wrist and fingers pull through release.

If that shape doesn’t match structural and neurological biases, the pitch shape will be inconsistent.

In this case, Rob was “casting” his hand out away from him trying to create a big horizontal shape with the slider. This caused him to get stuck behind the ball leading to more of a cutter shape.

We talked about energy transfer and direction into the baseball and got him out of the sweeper mindset. And what do you know, he found a slider with MORE depth and MORE sweep!

But he was getting to the right spot at release more naturally and directing energy into the baseball in a way that allowed him to get more to the front of the ball.

The sweeper can be a great pitch but if you’re not a true supinator and have some other physical characteristics to throw a true sweeper, it might be beneficial to get out of the sweeper mindset.

Everything matters and everything is connected.

What we think influences how we move. How we move influences pitch characteristics.

We can’t separate when it comes to skill acquisition. by @nomad_baseball
