Are you left hand dominated?

[julian1]

Very often in teaching a double handed backhand one encounters an
issue whether your student is left hand dominated.
Some similiar questions in the case of eyes.
A simple set of tests/throwing etc can be applied.
You can use them for 10 under programs.

Are students usually either right or left dominant throughout out their body? Or can, for example, an individual be left hand dominant while the hip is right dominant? Just curious...

No. Many athletes are cross dominant. One side dominance with eyes involve often leads to awkward movement. Some sports favor one side dominance. For example, archery (right eye, right arm pulls back). I think it's like 80-90% of archers have that one-side dominance. But many elite athletes have mix. There's plenty of research on this but I have not looked at it in a couple years.
