My progresses : 13 Wanna-be a left-hander has made me notice what's imporant in throwing a ball
I thought that left-hander was cool. Even though I myself am right-hander, not knowing for what reason, I thought that being left-hander would be wonderful.
When I took a leave from university at the age of 22, I withdrew to my home from mental health reason. Having lost my goal in my study and other activities, I used my left hand again and again. I write letters and threw a ball with my left hand. At first, I couldn't do at all. When I threw a ball, it didn't fly in the direction I wanted it to go. The letters written by my left hand was terrible too. It was illegible and it took much longer time, as a matter of course, than I write letters by my right hand. After a lot of repetition, my skill had been much improved, but when I use my right hand once in a while, it reminded me that I'm actually right-hander.
In this way my efforts to switch to be a left-hander failed. But this has made me understand new things I would have never noticed if I had used only my right hand. My right arm terrible lacks flexibility. When I learned to throw ball with my right hand when I was around five years old, most of my focus has been my hand and my arm. Certainly I was taught by my brother and my father that the leg is more important than the arm and the hand when you throw a ball. I had known by word, but hadn't known by body. By using my left arm I learned that shifting my wait in the direction I want to throw a ball to, because my left arm didn't work very well. Ironically, now I can throw a ball with my left arm more flexible than I do with my right arm, and I can throw with my left arm as far as I throw with my right arm. Considering accuracy of my wrist and fingers, I'm still a right-hander, but the attempt to be a left-hander has made me notice what is important when I throw a ball.
