Top handball athletes Andy Schmid, Uwe Gensheimer, and Domagoj Duvnjak not only react to game situations in the moment, but they can also predict the next situations, allowing them to anticipate their opponents and win games. This mental speed sets the foundation to create master performances in extremely complex situations. In this book, handball athletes and coaches are given both a theoretical framework in which anticipation, perception, attention, and memory processes play a big role in training, and diagnostic tools and useful examples for training cognitive abilities. To round out training, the authors also include more than 70 game activities which can be incorporated into practice to train players' cognitive skills and improve their mental game.
Handball athletes can take their playing to the next level with The Mental Game: Cognitive Training, Creativity, and Game Intelligence in Handball.
