Are you ambidexerous

Coach

I notice you play left handed but on one of your training sessions you were writing on a board with your right hand.  just curious.  One of the top players in my area can switch the bat between hands if needed on a few occasions during a match.  Great technical ability but not useful for the average player.  Do you ever do that?

Hi Andrew,

This is just a quirk I have that I naturally write with my right hand and play one handed sports with my left.  However, I can’t write with my left hand or play very well with my right either… so technically not ambidextrous… just mixed up.

I can do both writing and playing with both hands.

I am bi-dextrous but I mostly play with my right hand and mostly write with my left hand for better performance in both.
