✍️ 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.
