TST online
The '100 hour' rule
Understand the rule of 100 and get the most out of TST online.
The rule of 100 suggests that by dedicating roughly 100 hours of extra focused practice to a specific skill in a year, you reach a level of competency that surpasses most people who haven't invested that time.
It emphasises breaking skills down into smaller, manageable micro-skills to maximise learning efficiency. That is exactly why we built — and continue to build — our online resources.
Key points
Focus on micro-skills
Instead of aiming for mastery of a broad area, identify and focus on specific, valuable micro-skills. That is what the homework flip books do.
Deliberate practice
The 100 hours (or whatever time you can manage) should be dedicated, focused practice — not casual kick arounds.
It adds up fast
Twenty minutes a day is over 100 hours in a year. Five minutes a day still transforms a player's foot shapes.
Game functional touch
Every exercise we publish exists to maximise game functional touch development, not to look impressive.
Watch
Now playing
01. Hop: back foot inside, inside forward, roll across
A three touch pattern worked on the hop. Quality first, then speed, then quality at speed without looking at the ball.
Now playing
02. Switch foot outside V inside a drag back U
Two shapes joined together — the switch is what makes it useful in a game.
Now playing
03. Inside hop, fake outside switch, inside pass
Show one direction, take the other, then pass out of the exit touch.
Now playing
04. Inside switch, outside step
The simplest escape in the set. Exact shape beats fast and messy every time.
