In this episode of the MPE Pod, we welcome Jim Gasso and Casey White from the Gasso Center of Excellence to discuss a new vision for athlete development centered around understanding the individual. The conversation explores how Motor Preferences provides coaches with a framework for identifying how athletes naturally organize movement and why coaching becomes more effective when training matches the athlete rather than the other way around. Jim and Casey also share the story behind the Gasso Center of Excellence, the philosophy driving its partnership with Motor Preferences Experts, and their commitment to creating a collaborative environment where coaches, parents, and athletes can continue learning together. We also discuss: • The origins of the Gasso Center of Excellence • Why individualized coaching matters • Common coaching mistakes that create unnecessary frustration • Building confidence through better assessment • Mental performance and athlete ownership • The value of collaboration across organizations • Upcoming opportunities for coaches and athletes to get involved Whether you're coaching youth athletes, high school, college, or professional players, this episode offers practical insights into creating an environment where athletes can perform naturally and continue developing over the long term.
