#BaseballActionID is the CSI in Baseball

Training and instructing players without understanding their natural motor preferences is like trying to solve a crime without collecting fingerprints. Without that key piece of information, you may have a general idea of who the suspect is, but you won’t be able to identify them specifically.

As a coach, not understanding your players’ motor preferences is similar. You may know their age and physical build, but without understanding their unique “fingerprints” of how their body is built to move, you won’t be able to effectively instruct and guide them.

#BaseballActionID helps coaches uncover these crucial “fingerprints” for each individual athlete, which not only limits the risk of regression but also enhances their natural qualities and helps to prevent injuries.

An athlete’s individual needs and preferences are deeply ingrained in their personality and motor skills from an early age. As a coach, it’s essential to take this into consideration and understand these “fingerprints” to effectively guide and instruct your players.

#BaseballActionID helps you to find those necessary ‘Fingerprints’ for each individual athlete and will limit the risks of regressing by inhibiting the natural qualities of the athlete which has the consequences of a loss of self-confidence and an increase in the risk of injury.

An athlete’s individual needs and preferences are woven into their personality and motor skills from an early age. As a result, a coach has NO other choice but to join this.

What are Motor Preferences?

Motor Preferences will highlight the uniqueness of each human being in his or her ability to make conscious or unconscious movements that use as little energy as possible while being as effective and efficient as possible. 

These movements are dictated by the nature of the individual, his life experience and interactions with his environment. 

Individual preferences & needs that characterize athletes have been woven into their personality & motor skills from the outset, in a way that coaches & trainers have no choice but to join them!

Let’s have a quick look at a Motor Preference example:

Motor preferences make it possible:

To individualize the therapeutic and sports management according to the natural movement specific to each person.

The profiling of motor preferences makes it possible:

To highlight the physical capacities and natural qualities of an athlete (called motor profile) 

To limit training away from the spontaneous qualities of the athlete (called an opposite motor profile or shadow zone) 

To limit the risks of regressing by inhibiting the natural qualities of the athlete which has the consequences of a loss of self-confidence and an increase in the risk of injury.

It will highlight the uniqueness of each human being in his or her ability to make conscious or unconscious movements that use as little energy as possible while being as effective and efficient as possible. These movements are dictated by the nature of the individual, his life experience and interactions with his environment.

Top athletes have become so good because in their idiosyncrasy they put their own motor preferences first and were lucky enough to find a trainer/coach who did not stand in their way!

Natural individual movement patterns are the often overlooked key factors in discussions about technique execution.

Just following any model is not enough! No way may you be able to reach any top just by doing something that was already done… Each of us is “damned” to follow its own route, its own destiny. 

Even if there are some common traits, your path is and will always be unique.
