Nerves,confidence and attitude in darts

[davidsproull]

OK this is a little bit of a follow up to my 'focus and concentration' article I have posted here.

I don't think it is as good, but I use and believe in every point I make and hope it can help you as much as it has helped my own game.

Twelve Attitude Adjustments That Will Teach You To Play With Confidence And Develop A Champion Darts Attitude.

Please let me know what you think, and if there is anything I missed or that I could do to make it better to help people.

As always I steal shamelessly from George...

For me, many of these things come naturally. I am a super competitive person, and I am my own biggest critic. Yet, I can tell myself "that was a crap turn" or "that was a terrible game" without it changing my confidence. If anything, it motivates me to do better next time.

I was guilty of a stint where I forgot to have fun. That was the biggest mistake of my darting tenure. My play seriously suffered.

Also, your title is too long to quick reply to.

A really interesting read and I found the bullet points at the start really hit the target for me.

Some might say a 180 is three darts in the triple 20 bed, but really a 180 is about 1,500 26's

I agree but for me 180 was also about dozens of T20-T20-agh visits.  It was only when I threw the third dart with the same composure as the first two that it went in, and that was after a few well thrown third darts on the wrong side of the wire!
