In this episode of the MPE Pod, we sit down with Laura Heberling, Associate Head Coach at Kansas Softball and a pitching coach known for developing confident, high-level arms.

Laura shares her coaching journey from Maryland to Kansas and explains how Motor Preferences became part of her approach through her relationship with Coach Matt Swope. She breaks down how MP applies to pitching, how it helps individualize development, and how coaches can support pitchers without over-coaching mechanics.

The conversation dives into pitcher confidence, daily development, recruiting philosophy, and the lessons Laura has learned while working across multiple programs and roles.

This episode is especially valuable for softball coaches, pitching coaches, and athletes looking to better understand individualized development and long-term growth.
