Promotion in sight: HSG Friedrichshafen-Fischbach is fighting in the relegation final

On June 1st, a decisive relegation game for HSG Friedrichshafen-Fischbach will take place in the Bodensee sports hall. At 3 p.m. the team will face HSG Oberer-Hegau in an effort to gain promotion to the Württemberg regional league. Coach Alex Stehle was optimistic and emphasized the importance of the home game and the support of the fans. That positive energy could be crucial after the first leg ended in a 24-24 draw on May 18, following an impressive comeback from his team.

HSG Friedrichshafen-Fischbach has had a successful final spurt to the season in the last few weeks. After three wins in a row, the team is motivated and determined to achieve a positive end to the season. A banner on the Colsman knot already indicates the impending “relegation final”, which further increases the anticipation and tension of the fans. Rolf Nothelfer will take on the role of coach for the new season and will certainly provide strategic impulses to achieve promotion.

Goals for the coming season

HSG Friedrichshafen-Fischbach can look back on an instructive past season. In the first home game of the current 2023/2024 season against HC Lustenau, the team would like to further improve its performance. Coach Andreas Rohrbeck emphasizes the need to minimize errors in game structure and finishing in order not to be confronted with a defeat against Lustenau again. The team plans to operate from a stable defense with goalkeeper David Pietsch and to dominate the game through clever counterattacks.

Support from fans at the Bodenseesporthalle is seen as a key factor as the team strives to improve and secure the points. Rohrbeck has reported some regular players as unlikely to be able to play, but the team remains confident. In order to combat the opponents' perceived weaknesses, powerful attacks should be carried out.

Sports psychology in handball

While the HSG is working on its performance on the pitch, more and more importance is also being placed on sports psychology in the handball world. The sports psychologist Henning Thrien and the head coach André Haber spoke about the relevance of sports psychology in handball in a joint workshop series. They highlight the need to discuss more about internal processes and challenges in everyday trainer life. According to Haber, sports psychology also has a significant future in handball, which can help improve players' mental training and performance.

With a clear focus on the advancement and implementation of sports psychology approaches, both the HSG Friedrichshafen-Fischbach and the entire handball community could benefit from these developments.
