Three Macedonian national team players from HC Alkaloid and HC Multi Essence have been selected by the European Handball Federation to join the Respect Your Talent project – Class of 2024.

A total of 30 young handball players, who made a lasting impression at the M18 EHF Euro held in Montenegro this summer and were named Player of the Match, were invited to participate in the annual camp in Vienna. At the camp, they had the opportunity to learn and engage in off-the-court discussions with EHF handball ambassadors, including renowned former players Hans Lindberg (Denmark), Ljubomir Vranjes (Sweden), Vid Kavticnik (Slovenia), and Carlos Prieto (Spain).

Players Damjan Mitev, Marin Krstevski, and Gjorgji Nikolovski were the Macedonian representatives at this event.

The selected players discussed key topics with the famous ambassadors including nutrition, social media, anti-doping, dual careers, psychological exercises, and sports laws.

For each subject, the ambassadors had a dedicated expert by their side, who ensured every aspect was professionally analyzed and thoroughly explored.

“I definitely want to reach the top. I know it’s a tough task, but there’s time, and I believe we’re on the right path. The sky’s the limit, and with the advice we’ve received from the ambassadors, anything is possible. They shared their story with us, and that will be very helpful in the future,” said Marin Krstevski.
