ABSTRACT
The aim of this work was to identify the individual and collective offensive variables most important in adult handball teams from experienced coaches’ speeches, and to identify possible relationships with the teaching-learning-training process. Four experienced coaches were interviewed, and the speeches were tabulated and analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse method. The coaches reported that to achieve high performance, players must have good command of individual technical-tactical elements (to junk and change of direction of the trajectories), collective technical-tactical elements (crosses, blocking, exchange of specific posts, give and go and successive penetrations) and the execution of offensive actions without stereotyping. It is suggested that the evidence adduced by the coaches must be presented gradually to the players, especially through games and game situations.
