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.
In RK Krim Mercator team we train a lot on »ladder«. Jure Šterbucl is our Strenght and Conditioning coach and he is working on the ladder systematic and targeted and has been developing exercises over many years. Now he is doing it really well. The diverse range of exercises, with the targeted performances, additional loads ... gives our players really effective footwork, coordinated implementation of technical and tactical elelements and balanced body postures. Power, speed and coordination are conditions for playing at high level. Even - or especially – because of that RK Krim Mercator team plays fast, effective, consistent and winning.
