Launched in 2019 by EHF, the Respect Your Talent programme promotes the holistic development of talented players both on and off the handball court, addressing topics such as the dual career, anti-doping, mental fitness, media and sports law.

During the past years, a plethora of young players has taken part in the programme, mentored by former stalwarts like Ivano Balic, Vid Kavticnik, Victor Tomas, Stefan Lövgren and Carlos Prieto after shining at the younger age categories of the EHF EURO.

Now, as those players come of age, they are ready to impress on the highest level at the senior Men’s EHF EURO, which will throw off only in a few days in Germany with the best 24 teams competing for the coveted title.

Who are the alumni of the Respect Your Talent programme ready to shine in Germany? Let’s take a look at the ones which are the most likely candidates.
