What would have been your decision ?

What if I told you that there is a relation between baseball, motor preferences impact and high jump history?

I sometimes share some player testimonials on my facebook page. I very carefull so that no one feels discredited or criticized. But despite this, one of the latest brought me very aggressive comments and private messages!

Because of my background, I can understand divergents point of view. But a revolution is on and no matter what, nothing will stop it. And I think that it is important to explain it and I will use an analogy to do so.

Do you know Dick Fosbury? This athlete was Olympic champion in 1968 in the high jump. Before Fosbury, the jumpers passed on the front. Then comes this great athlete who jumps on his back and wins the title!

I compare the revolution in motor preferences to the revolution experienced by the competitors and trainers of that time!

And I want to leave everyone the freedom to ask themselves what their reaction would have been if they had been a competitor or the coach of a Fosbury competitor: Would you have continued to jump with your technique or upgrade to Fosbury's?

Motor Prefrerences are not a miracle. It is the respect of how player's body want to naturally create the moves. Our body is intelligent, it knows how to move to perform. I am adapting baseball to players, not players to baseball.

- Are the results quick ? yes!

- Are Motor Preferences ''a game changer'' ? yes!

- Do we have to question everything in the current approach to baseball? NO!  But we must adapt our use of all drills or gesture we instruct to make sure that fit the profile of the player.

I am not the only expert of Motor Preferences. Hundreds of colleagues around the world are working daily to help athletes and coaches of amators and professional clubs.

Negative comments are understandable when you present a new revolution. A revolution always goes through 3 phases:
1. It's ridiculous
2. It's scary
3. It's obvious
Motor Preferences are in the second. People who disagree with motor preferences gonna say it ! Just because their system is discussed and they are afraid about that...Understandable... But good news is that results are speaking! The third phase is coming!

In summary, let me ask you this: ''Must we continue to do what we are currently doing, so as not to make waves, while knowing that we can do better and safer?''

I let you make you own choice. I made mine!
