Thisted IK Håndbold is launching a new mental training program for U13 and U15 players, coaches, and parents. Developed in collaboration with Mind Your Focus, the initiative aims to provide young athletes with tools to manage nervousness, frustration, and performance pressure.

The program is scheduled to run from October 2026 to March 2027 and will include workshops and online follow-up sessions. Thisted IK Håndbold chairman Brian Nielsen stated that the club aims to focus on the well-being of children and help them develop life skills, such as handling mistakes and adversity, alongside their athletic abilities.
