✍️ Why Handwritten Notes Still Win (Especially for Players)
Research shows writing by hand creates stronger learning and recognition than typing on a keypad. Why?
Because movement locks information into the brain. You’re not just recording, you’re processing.
📝 Past Performances
  • Write what actually happened, not excuses
  • Forces honesty and reflection
  • Patterns show up faster on paper
⚙️ Practice Notes
  • What worked
  • What didn’t
  • One cue to carry forwardWriting slows you down just enough to learn the rep.
🎯 Game Notes
  • Emotional state
  • Timing feels
  • What the game exposedHandwriting helps regulate emotion and sharpen awareness.
⚾ Pitcher Notes
  • Shapes
  • Sequences
  • Miss patterns
  • TendenciesWriting these by hand improves recall during the at-bat, not after the game.
What about typed notes?
Typed notes are better than nothing.
They’re fine when:
  • You’re short on time
  • You need organization
  • You’re collecting info
But typed notes are passive.
Handwritten notes are active.
The simple rule
  • Want it to stick? Write it.
  • Want it fast? Type it.
  • Want the edge? Write first, type later.
Precision over convenience.
Pick up the pen.
