This technique is used to stop half high balls from short distances.
Coming forward and making himself as big as possible makes is harder for pivots and players throwing in break situations to focus at the goal.
When meeting the ball, the goalkeeper comes forward and jumps off lifting both legs as high as possible. Together with the arms and hands the ball is stopped.
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.
