Dormagen handball players overcome relegation worries – positive turnaround!
The Bayer Dormagen handball team ended 2025 with a clear upward trend. After a bumpy start to the season, which was marked by personnel problems and poor performances, the signs are now pointing to improvement. What is particularly pleasing is the fact that the team is the youngest team in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga and, despite initial difficulties, performed strongly in the last four games. During that time they picked up five points against some of the top teams in the league. [RP Online].
As is well known, VfL Lübeck-Schwartau has its own challenges and will face GWD Minden in the “Hansehölle” on Friday evening. In this duel it will be important to confirm the form from the first two games of the season with a nerve-racking performance. Both games were won at the last second. Coach David Röhrig emphasizes that these victories strengthen the self-confidence of his players. However, the team is currently plagued by personnel problems on the right attack side, as Max Horner is injured and Janik Schrader missed training due to an illness. Despite these worries, Röhrig remains optimistic and sees Minden as a possible promotion favorite, even though they started the season with two defeats (30:31 against Potsdam and 28:30 against TV Hüttenberg).

Handball and injury management
An important aspect that often remains hidden behind the scenes of competitive sports is the topic of injury management. A study from Tübingen sheds light on the psychosocial conditions that play a role in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of sports injuries. In handball in particular, it has been shown that athletes often hide pain symptoms in order to survive in competition. They are often inclined to continue playing despite significant symptoms of discomfort. Another problem is the lack of clearly defined decision-making processes in sports organizations, which can endanger the health of athletes. Research has shown that many athletes, coaches and doctors recognize that as long as competition remains possible, pain is out of the ordinary. These findings lay the foundation for integrated injury management, which should build on further studies. Further information on these aspects can be found in the analysis of the research by Uni Tübingen.
Overall, the current situation in handball is of great importance for both the teams and the athletes. Initial difficulties, injuries and the search for solutions in the area of injury management are all questions that require the handball world to find clear answers.
