How do you keep training quality high when fatigue hits?
Hi coaches. We’ve all been there… concentration is low, the team is tired but the session is not finished yet and you have some things on your plan to work on. Do you adjust the load, change the format, or finish the day? Please share your strategies below… and reply to others if you approach it differently. It’s interesting to hear how to manage fatigue while keeping intent and quality high.

Little late to the party ;) . So first I want to say thank you Damir for creating this kind of brain storming and exchange platform and for sharing your input and knowledge. In my opinion sharing and mentoring is one of the most important points in this life long learning process and also this learning competition which performance sport also is. Coming back to the question. I think that especially in handball where we have so many different performance-determining factors, less is more. So my first step would be to have a good look at my planning and ask myself with a critical mind what I can remove from my practice without losing quality or development. Is "this" sequence really making my athletes better? So I ask myself "What's important now" and focus on these points. If fatigue hits, than for me it depends on what is the focus point of this sequence. Speed, RSA, learning new techniques, learning new decision making, ... - all these should for me be in rested state. So than I would finish the training. Are we talking about decisions in crunch time - under fatigue, and so on - than I would probably set some clear focus points for the players to help them know what is important now and continue. So it depends ;) Looking forward to hearing other opinions on that. Have a great day
