Really good and interesting project. The info about alcohol and how it affects you, it should have a negative impact!! However as a darts player myself I know exactly what your talking about. My limit is 3 pints anymore and I detairate. For me it just lostens me up. The follow through is better, the rhythm is there. probably a little help with nerves maybe?

I've been in the program 30.5 years. I haven't played since I was in Germany in 84. Still have my Linda Batten 21 gram spring tip darts and board I bought at Gerry's Dart Centre in London in 82. Did buy a new board...coming from Denmark. I'm west of Seattle.

Should they be pissed? If they want - but the problem is that the TV producers seem HELL BENT on interviewing winners. PDC ought to have words with Sky really

I was actually thinking similar. I think they would stop the post match interviews before they do anything regarding the drinking situation.

It calms me down having a beer when I play as I suffer from anxiety. So when I get to the pub I’ll be shaking and nervous then when I have a drink it calms me down and I relax to play and enjoy the game

How about a 10 minute practice routine before a match?
@soberdartsguy56773 жыл бұрын
Maybe just play 121 out in 6 or 9 darts. If u hit it go up 10 points, if you miss go down 1 point. That’s quick and easy and you do t get into the middle of something before it’s time to stop for your game.
Thank you very much. Wish I was 170 tall but alas I’m a short arse 🤷🏼♂️👏🏻👍🏻🎯

Try guided maditation/visulization, do it every day for a month in combination with stretching it gonna help, and about the darts try some front heavy darts, harrows rapide/ dennis priestley etc, can help, but its more in the head

From what I saw of your match the darts were going straight and your throw was pretty solid, the doubles you missed were on the wire, I think we all have that feeling that we played rubbish when actually it probably wasn't that bad! keep your chin up and maybe see you again there next week

Wasn’t too down about it mate, was a long day, been up since 5am and I think it just hit home a bit as to how hard this is gonna be for me but it will be worth it in the end. I’ve gone from averaging 75/80 comfortably to struggling to hit a T20 & a double, it knocks you back a bit. Hopefully it will come in time 👍

@soberdartsguy56773 жыл бұрын
The first two darts can hit either treble or single, the third dart always has to be for the double. Points accumulated only won if you hit the double on that section 👍

Stopped drinking over 18 years ago, and my darts suffered for about 6 months, then I was back to my regular average. I have improved since then, though I am still not at your level. The main thing is I am having a lot more fun. Didn't think that would be the case, but I am enjoying everything much more, especially darts.

Fantastic video and I’ll definitely follow your progress. I was very lucky when I started playing darts in the pub as I was only 14 which was 42 years ago. Well obviously I wasn’t allowed to drink at that age so I actually learned to play without having alcohol. Once I hit 18 and I could drink, if there was any pub league games on I learned very quickly that alcohol was actually affecting my play. Good on you with your journey 👍🏻🎯
