Our internal anatomy dictates a lot of our function.
1️⃣We have a heart on the left side of our bodies.
2️⃣We have a liver on the right side of our bodies.
3️⃣Our right lung has 3 lobes and the left has just 2.
4️⃣The left side of our thoracic diaphragm has less pull on the ribcage than the right.
This all reflects as a “spin” to the right. This is apparent when you see people in standing when they tend to favor or sit on one side over the other.
This spin makes certain regions of my body stretch, expand and yield to the other regions of my body that are shortening, compressing, and overcoming forces.
A good example of this is if you SQUEEZE your back muscles as tight as you can, look at what happens to your chest ➡️It opens up or gets bigger. Newtons 3rd Law.
Athletes can REALLY take advantage of this and they can do some really impressive stuff with that strategy. They can also overuse it and creates some issues for themselves by using too much of that superpower.
And THATS why you can’t shoot lefty.
