pass from the goalkeeper for a counter attack
The goalkeeper picks up on one side, the competitor on the other side sprints for the counter. Receives a pass and finishes shooting. They alternate left and right as all competitors pass.
The coach makes sure that players do not leave before the goalkeeper picks up the ball. In the event of a wrong pass, the goalkeeper is punished.
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.
