Attacker 2 passes inside to player 1 in the middle.
They then deliberately run towards the defender on their side of the court.
They continue their run and use a fake to wrong-foot the defender, before pushing off their outside foot and driving off in the opposite direction - ready to receive the pass!
Sharp burst of speed and quick change or direction.
Players need to "sell" the dummy (it needs to be convincing).

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.
