Serve and return are the most important strokes to practice before a tournament because every point will start with these strokes.
The last practice sessions while preparing for competition should include a lot of repetitions while serving and responding to make sure that players practice tactical patterns and keep reaction as quick as possible.
It is not the time to work anymore on technical habits - grooving automatic habits and keeping the body at optimal state are definitely more important to focus on.
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.
