Move quickly to this pre-shoot position, face the same sidewall as the hand you're planning to hit the ball with, and step into your shot as the ball falls into your strike zone. Of course, there will be times when you can't get to this ideal pre-shoot position. This is why you'll need to learn the defensive shots. Conditioning Moving to a pre-shoot position rather than to where you will be contacting the ball will require two to four more steps for each and every shot. Think about adding that up over the course of a match.
Conditioning is as important to a player's success as execution.
You can condition yourself to play your best handball in various ways. Some of the top players just play lots of handball, others combine handball with interval and weight training. No matter how you decide to achieve the stamina necessary to play your best, you'll need to do it just as you need to practice the execution of specific shots.
