So as a left-hander you get a small bonus to your brain from being forced to use your right hand a lot and a right-hand design world. When you buy especially left-handed made things, you actually rob yourself of that advantage of gaining that ambidexterity. So I don't have a good hand and a bad hand. I have a fine dexterity hand in my left and a raw power hand in my right since that's traditionally what I've opened doors and other things with my whole life.

Whether or not I play a sport, with a certain hand varies by the activity

So in baseball I throw and catch left-handed

In ping pong and badminton and other racket sports, I can play either hand but generally I favor my right

When boxing or doing MMA I typically take a right-handed stance because I want my precision parrying hand out front and I want my raw power hand in back

For that reason I also shoot pool right-handed (left hand in front)

In volleyball, I hit left-handed

So yeah, generally I discourage my fellow Lefty brothers from doing a bunch of things to specifically accommodate themselves and instead embrace dual use that the righties will never have.

Same here, ambidexterity power! Though I'm regularly told "You're not so much left-handed, it's more like you have 2 left hands…"
