Intro: How consistent is your shot under pressure?

The 100 Basketball Free Throws Challenge isn’t just about scoring — it’s about focus, repetition, and performance under fatigue. Whether you’re training for a league, shooting solo, or using basketball to cross-train for HYROX or other sports, this challenge dials in a crucial skill: precision.

The Rules

  • Warm up first with 10–15 minutes of light shooting
  • Attempt 100 free throws in one session
  • Track how many you make out of 100
  • Optional: break it into 10 sets of 10 to maintain consistency and reset focus

Why It Works

  • Trains mental focus and muscle memory
  • Builds hand-eye coordination under fatigue
  • Helps identify shooting patterns and weaknesses
  • Reinforces postural discipline and follow-through

Progression Ideas

  • Do it weekly and track progress over 4–6 weeks
  • Add a breath or mindfulness reset between sets
  • Try it after a strength or conditioning session to simulate game fatigue
  • Pair with video analysis to improve technique
