In the Heat of the Action, Who Really Decides? Data vs. Instinct in Handball Coaching
Three minutes left. You're losing by one goal. You call a timeout. The group gathers around you. Players are catching their breath, some staring at the floor, others at the scoreboard. Emotions are running high in their eyes, in the noise of the gym, in your own head. And then, everyone has something to say. This is the hardest moment in coaching. Not because you lack the skills. Because you have to make the right decision, right now, with 60 seconds to put it into words, and

In Handball, Your Best Player Might Not Be Who You Think
There's often a handball player who takes the spotlight. The one everyone talks about in the locker room. The one opposing parents notice. The one you give the ball to when things get tight.

Seeing What You Missed in Your Last Game
You remember last Saturday's game ? Lucas kept missing his shots from the pivot. Kevin wasn't in the game. And on defense, you conceded too easily on the right side in the second half. You're certain. You saw it. Did you? What I Was Too Slow to See I was coaching a youth team. We had an excellent scorer — the kind of player you naturally rely on in key moments. When he came in on the run, he scored. Game after game. What I hadn't noticed — and what an opposing goalkeeper had

Handball Has Entered the Data Era. And This Is Just the Beginning!
Handball is going through the data revolution, just as other sports have before it: baseball, basketball, American football, soccer, rugby…
You can't improve what you don't measure.
Data is no longer a privilege. It's a tool that every coach, at every level, can now use to better understand their team, better prepare for games, and develop their players.
Handball has entered the data era. The real question is no longer whether it's useful. It's how you're going to use it.
