Martin Fruelund ALBERTSEN
Happily married to Anne and together with our handball-playing daughters Amalie and Frida, we live in beautiful Risskov on the Danish coast. My story began on April 10, 1974, when I was born and became part of the Fruelund handball family.
As of July 1, 2023, I already have 20 years of experience as a professional high performance coach. During this journey I have regularly become an expert in various online and offline media and I have of course obtained various licenses in management. I always work with motivation, am energetic, creative and always see challenges instead of limitations. I work on constant development, of both the individual players and the entire team. We learn from our mistakes and failures and convert them into improvements. I continuously desire the highest level, strive for the "Happy to go that extra mile" feeling and always for a professional performance. 100% involved in my work as a coach, that is who I am.
On my Instagram account I share my experiences and contribute to the handball community.
