Shooting under pressure is an invaluable skill, especially in situations where quick decision-making and accuracy are required. Set up a goal and divide it visually into four quadrants (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right). Use markers or cones to create shooting zones at varying distances—10, 15, and 20 meters from the goal.

Start at the 10-meter zone and take a shot aiming for a specific quadrant. Focus on proper shooting technique: plant your non-kicking foot beside the ball, strike with your laces for power, and follow through in the direction of your target. If you hit your target, move back to the 15-meter zone and repeat the process. If you miss, return to the starting point and try again until you succeed. This repetitive approach reinforces consistency and improves muscle memory.

To make the drill more challenging, introduce a defender or add time constraints. For example, have a teammate pass you the ball before each shot while a defender applies light pressure. This creates a more game-like scenario, forcing you to make decisions under stress. Another variation involves using a goalkeeper to block shots, which adds realism and increases the difficulty of scoring.

This drill not only sharpens shooting accuracy but also teaches composure, an essential attribute when faced with high-pressure situations in matches. It also helps players identify and refine their shooting strengths, such as their ability to strike the ball with precision from different angles and distances.
