The rule of 100 suggests that by dedicating roughly 100 hours of extra focused practice to a specific skill in a year (20 minutes a day), you reach a level of competency that surpasses most people who haven’t invested that time.
It emphasizes breaking skills down into smaller, manageable micro-skills to maximize learning efficiency. That is exactly why we built — and continue to build — our online resources.
We however believe that even ‘5 minutes a day’ of extra focused practice will make a massive difference to a players technical ability over time.
And to help this process work we built ‘TST online’ and ‘www.tft-tube.com‘ to ensure players have every opportunity to maximize their development speed.
Rule of 100 : Key points
Focus on micro-skills
Instead of aiming for mastery of a broad area, identify and focus on specific, valuable micro-skills. Use TST-online to help with this
Deliberate practice
Practice should be focused practice on something specific — not casual kick arounds.
It adds up fast
Twenty minutes a day is over 100 hours in a year, but 5 minutes a day is still enough to transform a player’s technical ability if done consistently over a long period.
Game functional touch
Every exercise we do (either at TST or online) aims to maximize ‘game functional touch’ development and so help players become better players.
