Every coach has asked this question.
Why do identical training inputs produce vastly different results?
That's the question the St. Laurence coaching staff asked entering the 2025 offseason.
Instead of assuming every athlete should train, move, and develop the same way, they began looking for a framework that could help them better understand each individual athlete. That search ultimately led them to Motor Preferences.
