Attacker wants to get past the defender on the left with one step only.
Attacker lands on both feet when catching the ball. In this way she fixes the defender.
First step is with her right foot cross-over and she tries to get past the defender as far as possible and jumping as high and as far as possible to get out of the hands of the defender.
During this moment she protects the ball with both hands and a slightly sideward position of the body. She throws at the goal as late as possible.
Handball demands explosive power, repeated sprint ability, and the strength to compete physically for 60 minutes. Sport-specific conditioning develops the athletic qualities that underpin elite performance.
Handball matches are won and lost in critical moments. Mental toughness determines who executes under pressure, who recovers from setbacks, and who maintains concentration throughout 60 intense minutes.
Deception is the great equaliser in handball. Smaller, less powerful players can beat defenders through feints and misdirection. Mastering these skills creates breakthrough opportunities against even the most organised defences.
