• Answer:

  Ambidexterity One of the most famous varieties of Cross-dominance is Ambidexterity, being equally adept with each hand (or, to a limited degree, feet). The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi, meaning "both," and dext, meaning "right (as opposed to left)." Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides". Although ambidexterity is rare at birth, it can be learned. Most ambidextrous people still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity. Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of our bodies. Some people have been known to hesitate upon the decision the brain makes while attempting to use either right or left side, most likely the motor controlled side that would benefit most. In modern times, it is more common to find people considered ambidextrous who were originally left handed, and learned to be ambidextrous either deliberately or during childhood in institutions such as schools where right-handed habits are often emphasized. Ambidexterity is often encouraged in activities requiring a great deal of skill in both hands, such as swimming, percussion or keyboard music, and combat. Ambidexterity, or "switch hitting", is highly prized in the sport of baseball as a batter usually has a higher statistical chance of successfully hitting the baseball when it is thrown by an opposite handed pitcher. Therefore, an ambidextrous hitter can bat from whichever side is most advantageous to him or her in that situation. It is also very advantageous in football (United States' soccer) as a player can shoot from almost any position no matter on which side the ball is. It is therefore impossible for a defender to try and block the side the attacker can shoot better from.
