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.

100 hours a year boils down to about 20 minutes a day. That's not much.

But even 5 mins a day or even 1 minute a day is infinitely better than doing nothing.So 1 minute a day (over and above what would be done normally )of focused practice is all we ask !

Key points

01

Focus on micro-skills

Use TST online (practice at home series) or tft-tube.com to focus on specific, valuable micro-skills.

02

Deliberate practice

The 100 hours (or even 1 minute a day) should be dedicated, focused practice — not a casual kick around.

03

It adds up fast

Twenty minutes a day is over 100 hours in a year. Five minutes a day still transforms a player's ability on the ball. 1 minute a day is infinitely better than doing nothing.
