Why Are So Many Pro Athletes Lefties

The video explores why left-handed individuals are more prevalent in certain sports, despite being a minority in the general population. It introduces the negative frequency dependent model, using sparrows as an analogy, to explain how less common traits can offer competitive advantages. This model is applied to sports, suggesting that left-handed athletes may initially excel due to their rarity, but this advantage diminishes at higher levels of competition. The video concludes that while the model provides insight, other factors also influence athletic success.
