All players are around the goal with a ball each on the floor in front of them. The goalkeeper is in the goal, touches a goal post, sprints forward to a player of his choice, gives him the ball, quickly returns to his goal running backwards. The player tries to score a goal and the goalkeeper tries to stop the shot.
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.
