2nd IHF Live Online Symposium concludes this week

Top handball minds from around the world have shared their thoughts over the course of seven webinars so far and this week, the 2nd IHF Live Online Symposium will conclude with two last lectures, focusing on the future of handball and pass feints, respectively. 

The first webinar on Thursday 8 July will be presented by PAUC Handball (French First League of Handball) head coach Thierry Anti, who will discuss the future of handball. 

“Some game situations that are difficult to analyse and to manage by the player, referee, and coach are more and more frequent in today's game.

Handball is a spectacular and attractive sport: individual and collective duels happen at high speed and body contact, which is a part of the game, must remain under control by the different actors.

- How will the game evolve?
- Which types of mistakes can we tolerate in the future?
- Some game situations, in particular body contact, are worth discussing and sometimes lead to different points of views.” 

The final lecture of the 2nd IHF Live Online Symposium will be presented by IHF Analyst and IHF Commission of Coaching and Methods Lecturer Oh Seong-ok on Friday 9 July. Her presentation will analyse pass feints.

“In recent years, the repertoire of shot, pass, and body feints in one-against-one plays has evolved greatly.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the 2021 World Championship in Egypt, Oh Seong-ok analyses objectives and value of pass feints in different situations.

She explains nine different situations with pass feints and provides methodological recommendations for individual and cooperative training in attack based on numerous video examples. One important emphasis will be put on the cooperation between back and line players.”
