Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the specialization process of goalkeepers and court players in handball, based on coaches’ opinions regarding the categories and the reasons considered crucial for player specialization. Seventeen coaches were interviewed, and their statements were analyzed using the Reflective Thematic Analysis method. Based on the discourses and the interaction with the Developmental Model of Sport Participation (DMSP), from a long-term perspective, the coaches’ positions suggest that goalkeeper specialization should occur during the specialization years of the DMSP (U-14 and U-16 teams), while court player specialization should occur during the investment years (U-16 and U-18 teams). The results revealed that the particularities of positions in handball are crucial for the specialization process, which should occur after a broad and varied base of stimuli, especially related to solving problem situations arising from the dynamics of handball.
