THM Podcast feat. Coach Dragan Djukic. Ep.4

Player's selection

In this episode: coach Dragan Djukic holds a real handball masterclass.
He talks about how to select players, what to look for, and how to approach this very important and, at the same time, little-understood area.
We will go to the discovery of his Handball4all project which takes place every summer in Serbia and is an unmissable opportunity for players and coaches.
At the end of the episode, he presented his recent work: the book "3-2-1 back to basics"; a content-rich addition to the scarce handball literature on the market.

Coach Dragan Djukic is not only an important figure on the international scene, with a glorious high-level curriculum and a rich list of trophies, but he is also an innovator and a profound thinker.
