It has been three years now that I have been using coordination ladder. It is sports equipment that has helped me the most with improving my coordination and speed of reaction. With its help  I've learned how to win a lot of space in minimum time which is very important in sport. Also improving my speed in change of direction is mainly due to ladder work.

As for the tight connection with handball, a lot of help both in defensive and offensive tasks, such as feinting and making pressure. Ladder is forcing players to run on their toes, which certainly gives a huge score in the game. I recommend to all athletes, because they can only get better quality of their movement and reaction.

Coordination ladder is very usefull thing, it has helped me a lot with improving my speed, agility and how to get the best position in a small space. Never until the arrival in Krim Mercator did I train coordination in this way, so I needed to put in a lot of work and effort. Each new exercise is a new challenge. The ladder is a must have for every athlete who wants to become complete.

As a coach I have first worked with coordination ladder on preparatory camp for WCH 2003 with Slovenian women national handball team. I estimate that also because of work on coordination ladder we managed to prepare our players to have achieved the best classification of the major competitions to date (8.place). That was the first time in the history of Slovenian national team that we managed to compete in speed, footwork and running activities with teams such as Denmark, Germany, Romania, the first time to win over them at all.

The ladder has for me been a very useful training tool. I have used it in many different ways and with different intentions. The exercises are so many and the ladder can be one part in a sequence of exercises that make the player to be on his/hers toes for a longer period.
