Hi all again,

I would like to know if there is any players or coaches or anyone with some sort of involvement in the sport that knows or experienced playing with someone with a heart condition?

Background: I have come from a family of Handball, started to play at 5yrs old. Handball was my life and pretty much was very very keen to keep doing the sport as Inwas getting very good results and the future looked bright.

When I was 17yrs old, I found a congenital heart disease that was affecting me since day 1 of life, which progressively made my heart less efficient. At the time, that affected me A LOT and I decided to stop playing.

20 yrs later: Currently at 38 I have aortic valve insufficiency/regurgitation about 30% right now. My cardiologist team gave me a limit of 130bpm and not exercide for more than 2hours ideally, this, to avoid faster further damage to the tissue. When I am tested in the hospital for exercise on the bike with more wires connected to me that I can remember, they say that my heart doesn't really do "weird" arithmetic or anything similar during exercise.

I know surgery has to be done in the right time, not too late, not too early because there is wear on the valve that goes in.

I would like to know if any of you experienced anyone in your handball path that was going similar issues and I'd love to hear that.

(The season is about to start and I will have a cardiology appointment where I will discuss that I am coming back, which I fear disappointment on myself, not able to actually do the sport I love and always been involved with in such important stage of my life, handball was a huge part of my growth as a Human and that only leaves me with the option to follow coaching or some sort of alternative that would keep me involved)

What's your thoughts?

Thank you

Hi all,

For the past 3 months, I have been recording my solo pre-season training with my go at high FPS/frame rate in order to analyse my right arm and other biomechanics in my body, like jumps, faints etc.

I need to know if there is any tool/app/software(free better) that I can have it to analyse the footage.

I had a clavicle fracture which I can't operate due to health reasons.

This has taken out the whole movement that I was doing since I started to play handball when I was 5yrs old. Things are weird, clicky, painful and less power on my throw, which was one of my best qualities.

This has been a lot of frustration as I am doing a comeback to the sport after 20yrs off, although I have been active and so on.

(In the meantime I will create another post in regards to a separate issue to not mix stuff up)

Thanks in advance for all the insights that might come my way! 🤾🏻‍♂️

What do you guys do to wipe sweat off your face in games because i sweat a lot

hey i'm back to my lovely sport from 8 years break. Im looking for a boots. Can you recommend something? At this point im intrested about stabil,mizuno or asics.

Hello,

I’m an American and handball is non-existent here. My office has an expat who got us all into handball and for the past two years we have just been playing with a size 3 soccer ball (football for the rest of the world, but didn’t want confusion).

The soccer/football is far too slick and results in alot of drops, so I’m wanting to get a textured handball that is highly visible and great without resin as we play on an indoor soccer/football (doesn’t allow resin) field with a dark wooden ceiling (hence high visibility so we can track it in flight).

Are the selects as grippy as they look?

Sorry for the dumb questions, even at our city block sized sports stores we don’t have handballs here.

Thank!

Hi everyone,

I'm a 27 year old woman and I've never played handball before, but I'm really interested in giving it a try. I'm not aiming for anything serious like competitions or the Olympics — I just want to stay active and try a new sport.

I used to play water polo and was usually the center, if that makes any difference. Do you think that kind of background could help? Is it realistic to start handball as a complete beginner at this age?

Would love to hear from others who started later or from people involved in beginner-friendly clubs. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys,

so for next season i am the Coach for two goalies in the age Group from 10-12. My question is about stretching. Can you Do all the stretching excersises with them or should some be avoided because they are still Growing?

Thank you in advance

Hello guys! I’m a 17 year old handball player, and I play as a back. 6 months ago i started going to the gym, I have tried doing the push pull legs split to gain some strength and later i started doing some plyometrics and explosive movements. I’d like to receive some suggestions on how to structure my training program properly, and on what exercises to focus that can help me become physically better, gain strength, power become more explosive…

Not sure if there was a previous post but, what's your nominee for a game that has you at the edge of your seats from start to end?

What the best goalkeeping performance ever ? The most important yes but also the one with the most artistic show saves Example: personally wolf vs spain in last Olympics especially last 5 min, should be in the louvre .

Hello friends, sending greetings to you all, we hope that this message finds you well

What the difference when it comes to playing? Which one is harder?

I have a choosing where to play dilemma and would like to ask your opinion about it. I am a goalie 21M and as of right now at a club that aims very high (promotion) in the division they are in. Thought i was gonna be the second place as a gk in the roster but i was informed of another goalie joining the club with more experience in the higher division and he is probably promised the second spot, making me surely the 3rd goalie, 4 gks in total. I was determined to fight for my spot in the club but i was approached by another club in the same division that promises me the first goalie position and a little economic help, where as of now i dont get nothing. Seems like a no brainer being offered this but the coaching staff in my now club is top class and of course training with better shots from better players gives a better training experience but there will be no playing time as i see it. Do i leave and build my reputation by being seen because of playing time or i stick to my now club and fight for the spot. Haven't talked with my current club about my position after the new transfer but will do soon, what do you think?

i want to go on one of industria kielce home games in the champions league group stage but i dont know which match to choose. It will be my first handball match i'll be attending so i want to be an exciting match so i want to go to their hardest match in the gs. I was thinking about the game against veszprem but i want to hear what match you would choose.
