Approach
Tracy’s approach to movement combines methodologies to improve kinematic sequencing thru neuromuscular training improving complex dynamic movement patterns through systematic neural mapping with attention to developing “true” core strength, improving active ROM, and remedying inefficiencies and imbalances within the body. There’s also a bit of vision training snuck in there. That’s all fancy talk for creating better motor patterns and training the body to move much more smoothly all while mitigating the risk of injury.
Background
Tracy’s vast background includes Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Linguistics during her studies at Northwestern University, a professional career in Research at McKinsey & Company in addition to advanced studies in biomechanics for athletes. Her methods incorporate fundamentals from PRI, FRC, ELDOA, Physical Therapy-based functional yoga (LYT), in addition to Classical Pilates, and over 1,000 hours of specialized yoga training. Tracy is a Master Pilates instructor and published author, an NLP Practitioner, trained in EFT (Tapping), and is a regular with Vipassana meditation.
Baseball Insider
Tracy has a unique perspective as a former “baseball wife”, is a mama to 4 young children, two of whom currently play Little League, and she has made it her mission to create a healthy, fun, and effective youth sports experience for all of her children and the millions of other kids who love to get outside and play the game of baseball.
Adventurer

Tracy has traveled around the world (solo in her 20s), has completed 3 silent meditation retreats (Tracy, silent? Shocking we know!), made it to the 3rd round of interviews for the show Survivor, survived a drug smuggling bus trip in Bolivia, was rescued off a deserted island off the coast of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, and well, can keep you entertained with many more travel stories.

Mama on a Mission

No, she doesn’t get asked that often. 🙂 Tracy coaches youth rec soccer and cheers on from the stands at Little League games. Tracy’s passion for improving youth sports has only just begun, much more in the works in terms of spearheading improvements within the youth baseball community.
