So now it’s called stop.
– It’s time to let the head choose – I can’t risk my back getting worse so that I can’t be the person outside the field and especially the father that I want to be. It is not a decision that came overnight, but over several years as the back got worse, he says in a press release issued by Mors-Thy Handball.
There, the playing career continues until the summer. And from there a new adventure begins.
He will start on 1 July 2025 as an assistant coach at exactly the same club.
– It is special that I will soon be playing the last handball match and especially the last match in the blue jersey, and at the same time I am incredibly happy for this opportunity and proud that Mors-Thy Handball has pointed to me and has confidence in that I am the right person to take on the task. I’m looking forward to enjoying the last time as a player and finishing that part well. After that, a new chapter awaits, explains Henrik Tilsted.
Together with Dennis Bo Jensen, he will make up the coaching team for Mors-Thy Handball next season, and the former is looking forward to it.
– Mors-Thy Handball’s DNA is development and talent work, and we have largely succeeded in that on the player side. Now we also have a coach who has moved up through his own system, and that is a good story for us, I think. Tilsted is serious, ambitious and hardworking. He has a lot of experience with the young players and is good at getting along with people. Tilsted has always been our first priority, and I look forward to working with him, says Dennis Bo Jensen in the press release.
As assistant coach, Henrik Tilsted has been given an agreement that runs until 30 June 2027.

How does Henrik Tilsted plan to leverage his experience as an athlete in his next chapter, focusing on family and mentoring?
**Interview with Henrik Tilsted: A Transition in Sports and Life**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Henrik. You’ve made a significant decision regarding your sports career. Can you tell us what led you to this moment?
**Henrik Tilsted:** Thank you for having me. After much thought, I’ve realized that it’s time to step back from playing. My body has been sending signals for a while now, and I can’t risk my back getting any worse. It’s important for me to be present not just on the field but also as a father outside of it.
**Editor:** That sounds like a tough decision. How has your experience as an athlete influenced your thoughts about this transition?
**Henrik Tilsted:** Being an athlete is incredibly demanding, both physically and mentally. I’ve learned a lot about perseverance and dedication, but I’ve also learned the importance of listening to my body. The head can be willing, but if the body can’t keep up, then it’s time to make a change.
**Editor:** What will you miss the most about playing?
**Henrik Tilsted:** I’ll definitely miss the thrill of competition and the camaraderie with my teammates. There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of a game and the bond formed through shared experiences. But I’m also looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
**Editor:** And what does that next chapter look like for you?
**Henrik Tilsted:** I want to focus on my family and perhaps explore coaching or mentoring young athletes. Sharing my experiences and guiding the next generation is something I’m really passionate about.
**Editor:** That’s inspiring! Any final thoughts you’d like to share with your fans and supporters?
**Henrik Tilsted:** I just want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career. It’s been an incredible journey, and while it’s hard to say goodbye to playing, I’m excited about what’s ahead. I hope to continue to inspire others in a different capacity.
**Editor:** Thank you for your time, Henrik. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
**Henrik Tilsted:** Thank you! I appreciate it.
