DAE write with one hand, and play sports with the other?

r/

I’m right handed when it comes to writing, but specific sports (think tennis, baseball, golf) I play left handed.

Is this a common thing or a taught thing?

    Same here! Right handed for writing, left handed in sports!

    I write with left and play sports with right.

    Absolutely. I write and eat with the left, and everything else with the right, including scissors.

    When I was a smoker I’d hold the cigarette in my left.

    Lefty writing, throwing, bowling, shooting jumpshots. Righty batting, tennis, golf, layups and dribbling, and kicking. Righty lead in martial arts (better right cross), but stronger right kick in muay Thai.

    I’m a mess.

    I’m right handed, but left eye dominant. I play pool and shoot left handed. I play baseball right handed, but can easily switch hit.

    I do!  Right-handed for most things, but for sports and musical instruments I’m a lefty.

    I’m left handed for anything that comes naturally; throwing, kicking, fighting, etc. My dominate eye is my left so I shoot left handed. When it comes to writing, scissors, using a fork or spoon…I’m right handed.

    I’m extremely right-handed in absolutely everything except hockey. Can’t remember how that happened
