The psychological preparation of handball referees is a very important aspect that enables them to manage the game fairly, objectively, and calmly in tense situations. For many years, changes in the rules of handball and in competition systems have served as a means of managing the development of this sport. Referees who officiate competitions must be positioned separately from the participants. Being a referee does not only mean knowing the rules; it also requires psychological resilience. The system-forming characteristic of any professional activity is its success. The study of volitional qualities has shown that all handball referees are characterized by a high level of purposefulness, both in seriousness and in generalization, as well as by courage and determination.
