XPS HUB – The Story Behind the Coach is back with a third episode! This time we have invited a handball legend Ljubomir Vranjes – a former Sweden national team player and currently a Head Coach of Slovenia national team.
The second episode carries a title “Know your ‘WHY’ and the titles will come!” as we were focusing on not only HOW Ljubomir has made it to lift 17 trophies during his career as a player and a coach so far, but also WHY he chose handball and WHY he chose to be a coach after the end of his career. There will be many more WHYs answered throughout the third XPS HUB episode, so make sure to tune in on one of the platforms below!
