Not all Aerial athletes look the same. One of the biggest mistakes coaches make is assuming every Aerial athlete should move the same way. Aerial is a continuum. Many Aerial athletes tend to organize through extension, supination, forefoot pressure, rhythm, bounce, and a more forward center of gravity. But those qualities can show up very differently from athlete to athlete. That's because Motor Preferences interact. If an athlete naturally: • Pops out of their legs • Struggles when forced low to the ground • Prefers rhythm over static positions • Organizes toward the forefoot • Performs best when allowed to move freely Try experimenting with: • Create rhythm • Load light • Stay athletic The goal isn't to put athletes in boxes. The goal is to understand how they naturally organize movement and coach accordingly. Interested in learning more? Check out our Introductory Course.

Awesome swing and impressive power. He has trained in a high level environment with @yuri_namkoong at KIME! #iPitch#MPEFam @MdMadeHitting

Solid dude! Hard impact to all fields. Shows up, works hard, hits bombs. #MPEFam

Grayson is showing up, stacking bricks, stacking days, and learning what coordination and balance means for him. If you haven't seen him in the past 2 months, you might want to take another look! @yuri_namkoong

Huge thanks to @h3sportsmedia for an awesome couple of days at @STAB_baseball and @UVABaseball. Really appreciate all the coaches who attended and gave their time. Went 2-4 at UVA w/ a HR, single and 2 RBI. @IBShowcase_BB @KIMEPerformance @TJHannam10

… And that is even more true in young athletes. 🧐 During growth, a young athlete is not learning movement on a “finished body.” 😱 The body itself is changing. 🔥 The work of showed that growth during adolescence is not linear and not synchronized: legs, trunk, arms and muscle mass do not grow at the same speed. 🚨 Coordination constraints evolve throughout puberty: Leverage, balance, timing and force production can temporarily change during growth spurts. 🚨 A movement solution that works at 13 may need to adapt again at 15… and again at 17. 🚨 This is why parents and coaches should be cautious with “coaches” selling one universal swing or throwing model for every athlete... - Human growth is individualized. - Motor organization is individualized. - Development should be individualized too. @shegone03 @PeloteroApp @CC20rake @MotorPreference #baseball #softball @LittleLeague @USABaseball @USABaseball #sportscience #motorpreferences

Fernando Tatis Jr.’s bat speed is actually UP. But observationally, the movement pattern has changed. 2025: • More rhythm • Shorter stride • Earlier into the front side • Rotating around the front leg naturally 2026: • Longer stride • More push from the back leg • Hands getting stuck behind him more often • Attack Direction shifts from 1° oppo → 4° oppo When hitters stop rotating around their natural axis of rotation, the hands often get trapped behind the body and start working around the baseball instead of freely out in front. Sometimes the issue isn’t force production or bat speed. It’s movement organization and repeatability. Go back and watch clips of Tatis at 16 years old. A lot of the movement solutions were already there.

Game winning 💣 in the 6th to end the season with a W. Not the season we expected but proud of our guys. Thank you seniors…all love🧡🖤 @BaseballMonacan @PrepBaseVAS @PrepBaseballVA @ksallday19 @JJonesPBVADC @PB_Uncommitted @IBShowcase_BB @KIMEPerformance @TJHannam10

Leonard is one of Richmond’s best baseball coaches. He allows players to explore their natural preferences, without judgement. Good boy!

Looking to wrap up spring on a high note…Rapids and Trojans coming to our place. Keep stacking days 📈@PrepBaseballVA @ksallday19 @JJonesPBVADC @PrepBaseVAS @PB_Uncommitted @KIMEPerformance @TJHannam10
