Most training programs miss one thing: how the athlete is wired to move. The MPE Podcast—hosted by Matt Swope, David “The Witch” Genest, Matt Woods, and Nick Robinson—dives into Motor Preferences: the science of training athletes in sync with how they’re naturally built to move. From elite baseball to college softball and beyond, we explore real-world coaching, performance breakthroughs, and guest conversations across sports science. Subscribe to train smarter—not harder.
