Fitness coach Marija Lojanica is one of the very few women’s in the men’s handball world. Ex-RK Vardar member of coaching staff, came to Veszprem on the call of David Davis who worked with her in Skopje. Now, she is dealing with the first days of pre-season in Hungarian handball capital.
– I think they are much better than last year. The players did a great job in this off-season period. I sent them the preparation program, all of them, and they did it. I am really satisfied with how they look right now, with all the tests we did so far. I think we started much better than last season!
What is the most important thing during this period of the preparation?
It is important to adjust to the new movement, which is not really new, but they did not have any handball practice for a long time. I have to take care of them and do step by step on a court and of the court also. We have to avoid injuries through strengthening and prevention program. Also we have to use more mobility exercises and sport specific movements to adapt on handball practice. Hope so that all together we are going to do great job and start the season full power – said Lojanica to the official club’s website.
