The Rule of Twelve

I’m a big fan of ‘The Rule of Three’ and have used it many times when trying to simplify things in my coaching or work. This is not about that though.

This is about something that is 4 times as good as ‘The Rule of Three’. This is ‘The Rule of Twelve’.

‘The Rule of Twelve’ is about managing expectations for coaches, players and parents.

For those who want things that are research based, I can tell you it is almost as scientifically valid as the 10,000 hour rule. 

The Rule of Twelve

• If you work really hard for 12 weeks you will have a good State Championships
• If you work really hard for 12 months you will have a good National Championships
• If you work really hard for 12 years you will have a good World Championships
