Quick answer
The 100 Shots a Day Challenge asks you to take 100 focused shots every day for 30 days. That is about 3,000 shots in a month, and it builds a faster release, better aim and stronger wrists. To make it work, split the 100 into four sets of 25, use a different shot or target in each set, and track every day in a table. Take one lighter day each week if your wrists or shoulders feel tired.
Key takeaways
- 100 shots takes 20–30 minutes if you have balls, a goal and a surface set up.
- Quality matters. Stop a set if your technique falls apart.
- Split the 100 into four sets of 25 with different shots or targets in each.
- Track your daily total and your hits on target. A simple table is enough.
- Take a lighter day (50 shots) each week or when your wrists feel sore. Recovery makes the improvement.
- A gear set-up (goal, pad, balls and a net) removes the excuses and saves time.
What is the 100 shots a day challenge?
It is simple: for 30 days, you take 100 shots. Some players do it all in one block, others split it into morning and evening. The idea is that repetition builds habit, and a shot is a habit. Most players I coach who do a month of 100 shots a day notice the difference in two ways: the shot comes out faster, and they hit the corners more often.
There is no magic in the number. What matters is that every shot has intent. A quick shot into a rebounder with no aim does not count; a shot at a corner with a clear technique cue does. I recommend you count only shots that you aimed.
How do you split 100 shots?
| Set | Shots | Focus | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Warm-up | 25 | Wrist shot to the middle, easy pace | 4 m |
| 2. Accuracy | 25 | Corners and low posts (5 shots at each of 5 targets) | 5 m |
| 3. Variation | 25 | Drag shot, snap shot or backhand, 5 each side | 5–6 m |
| 4. Game finish | 25 | Shots after a short run-up or a pass, quick release | 6–8 m |
Take 30 seconds of rest after each 10 shots, and a longer break after each set. Your wrists and forearms do much of the work, so do not skip the rest. For the technique, read the wrist shot step by step and the drag shot.
What do you need for 100 shots a day?
Preparation decides whether you keep going for 30 days. If you have to find balls, put up a goal and chase every miss, you will quit after a week. Set up a permanent shooting zone, even a small one, and 100 shots takes 25 minutes.

| Item | Price | Why it matters in this challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Extreme Floorball Goal | €149 | Full-size 160 x 115 cm goal |
| Extreme Floorball Shooting Pad 120x60 cm | €59 | Smooth, fixed place to shoot from |
| Floorball 50-Pack | €89 | Two rounds of 50 give you 100 shots |
| Extreme Floorball Shooting Targets (set of 3) | €34 | Turn set 2 into a scored game |
| Extreme Backstop Net 5x2,5 m | €129 | Stops misses so you do not chase balls |
The 3-target set is Made in Europe. A ready package is the Extreme Floorball Shooting Kit (€199), which includes the goal and the 120x60 cm pad. Everything is in the shooting collection.
Coach Erik's tip: Put the 50 balls in a bucket next to the pad before you start. When the bucket is empty, you have taken 50 shots, and you know you are halfway. Without a clear stop, it is easy to lose count and shoot lazy.
30-day tracker
Copy this table to paper or a spreadsheet. Fill in total shots and hits on target each day. The weekly plan below keeps the load sensible and gives you one lighter day per week.
| Week | Days 1–5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Weekly goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 shots, easy pace | 100 shots | Rest or 50 shots | Hit 50% on target |
| 2 | 100 shots, add the targets | 100 shots | Rest or 50 shots | Hit 55% on target |
| 3 | 100 shots, add movement | 100 shots | Rest or 50 shots | Hit 60% on target |
| 4 | 100 shots, quick release | 100 shots | Rest or 50 shots | Hit 60% at match pace |
| Days 29–30 | Test: 30 shots at the targets | Compare with day 1 | ||
These percentages are targets to aim at, not statistics. Your own numbers will vary with age and level, so compare yourself with yourself.
Drills to change the 100 shots
- Corner ladder (set 2). 5 shots to each of the three targets plus two extra to the weakest one. Cue: the same release every time.
- Drag-and-shoot (set 3). Place the ball to the side, pull it across your body and shoot. 5 shots each side. Watch for: a stop in the middle of the movement.
- Pass-and-shoot (set 4). Pass to a wall or rebounder, receive and shoot with two touches. Cue: first touch into shooting position.
- Fatigue finish. Do 20 seconds of fast stickhandling before the last 10 shots. Matches are played tired.

What do you do on days when 100 shots feels too much?
Some days your hands are tired or the schedule is full. Do not skip the habit, shrink it. Use a simple fallback:
- Minimum day: 40 shots, all with perfect technique, about 8 minutes.
- Normal day: 100 shots in 3 sets with 1 minute of rest between sets.
- Strong day: 100 shots plus 20 extra at a corner target.
A tired day with 40 clean shots keeps the streak without building bad habits. If your wrists or forearms hurt, stop and take a rest day. Sore hands that do not recover after a day are a signal to reduce the volume for a week.
Common mistakes
- Counting lazy shots. They train nothing. Fix: only count shots with a target and a technique cue.
- Sore wrists and no rest. Overload hurts. Fix: use the 50-shot day, stretch forearms and stop if you feel pain.
- Same shot every day. You improve one shot only. Fix: use the four-set plan.
- No tracking. You cannot see progress. Fix: use the table and write the numbers daily.
- A backswing above the waist. It breaks the rules. Fix: keep the blade low, use weight transfer and wrist snap.
FAQ
Is 100 shots a day too much?
For most healthy players it is manageable if you rest between sets and take a lighter day each week. If your wrists, forearms or shoulders hurt, stop and cut the number. Quality matters more than the total.
How long does 100 shots take?
About 20–30 minutes if you have a goal, a surface, 50 balls and a net. Without a net, collecting balls can double the time.
Will 100 shots a day make my shot harder?
Repetition helps your technique and strength, so most players see a faster release and better aim after a month. Combine the challenge with wrist and forearm exercises on rest days for the best effect.
Should I take all 100 shots at once?
You can, or split them into two blocks of 50. Many players like one block in the morning and one in the evening because their wrists get a break.
What equipment do I need?
A goal, a smooth shooting surface, at least 50 balls and a net behind the goal. Targets make the accuracy sets more fun.
What if I miss a day?
Just continue the next day. The challenge is about the habit, not perfection. Do not try to make up the missed shots on one day.
Summary
The 100 Shots a Day Challenge builds a habit of intent: four sets, clear targets and a daily tracker. Prepare a shooting zone so it takes 25 minutes, rest when you need to and keep the stick below waist height.
