3 players sprint towards the goal.
Two outer players are attackers, the middle one is a defender.
The goalkeeper/trainer passes the ball to one of the attackers (the one who runs free) and this player either tries to score a goal or passes to the other attacker.
Decision making by goalkeeper: Who to pass to.
Decision making by player: Score or pass.
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.
