5000 Puck Challenge
Goal: Increase shot speed, quickness and accuracy
The Plan: Shoot 5000 pucks in 10 weeks
Weekly Goal: 500 shots per week
Daily Goal: 100 shots per day (5 days a week)
Get into a routine. Choose a time when you can practice at the same time every day. Plan ahead for days that you cannot practice. Have a dedicated place to shoot. This should take only 20 minutes given no distractions to the player.
