I've read that Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) who's a competative fencer (nearly made the British Olympic team)learned as a righty and it wasn't until years later he switched lefty as it was his natural position...I know from playing tennis after I developed a 2 handed backhand I can now switch hit in baseball. Although I suppose one can develope a 'handedness' you will always be that right/left dominate. In hockey I'm a lefty but in golf (and everything else) I'm a righty which is weird.

There's a trick soccer coaches do where they stand behind a player and without warning push them forward and which ever foot the player sticks out first to balance determines which side of the brain is dominate i.e. left foot=right
