A new standard for softball development, built around the individual athlete through the Motor Preferences system.
Motor Preferences Experts (MPE) is proud to announce the Gasso Center of Excellence as its first Center of Excellence and flagship facility for softball development.
This partnership represents a significant step forward in how athletes are coached, trained, and developed within the game. By bringing the Motor Preferences system into a single, dedicated environment, the Gasso Center of Excellence will serve as a model for individualized player development at the highest level.
A New Standard for Player Development
“This is about raising the standard of player development,” said Patty and Jim Gasso. “The Gasso Center of Excellence, powered by Motor Preferences, allows us to individualize how we coach, train, and prepare our athletes so it shows up in performance.”
The Center of Excellence is designed to create an environment where athletes can develop in a way that aligns with how they naturally move. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, this model focuses on identifying and working with each athlete’s unique motor organization. The result is a clearer learning process, more effective communication between coach and athlete, and more consistent performance outcomes.
A Collaborative Vision
“We’re extremely excited to partner with the Gasso family on the Center of Excellence,” said the MPE team. “This collaboration brings together a shared vision for player development, and we’re excited about what this environment will create for athletes, coaches, and the game moving forward.”
The Gasso Center of Excellence represents the alignment of two groups committed to improving how athletes are developed. By combining on-field experience with the Motor Preferences system, the facility creates a unique opportunity to apply individualized development in a consistent and repeatable way.
Who This Is For
The Gasso Center of Excellence is designed for athletes and coaches who are looking for a more individualized approach to development.
Through camps, clinics, and training opportunities, participants will:
- Gain a better understanding of how they naturally move
- Learn how to train in a way that aligns with their strengths
- Experience a development model built around the athlete, not a predetermined system
This approach is intended to support athletes at multiple levels while also providing coaches with a clearer framework for working with individual differences.
Impact Beyond the Facility
In addition to on-field development, the Gasso Center of Excellence will contribute to ongoing data collection and insights that will help inform coaching practices beyond the facility itself.
The goal is not only to impact the athletes who train there, but to continue advancing how the game is understood and coached more broadly.
