Whether it’s how you stand, how you walk, the darts you throw, the words you use, a knowing smile at your opponent, whatever method you can use to project this, confidence is the key to calming you down in tight situations. Confidence is what drives home Bull’s Eye after Bull’s Eye. Confidence lets you think clearly about how to win. Confidence relaxes you and allows your body to rise to the level of play required to beat the toughest opponents. Confidence is what separates the great players from the also rans.

I believe confidence is the key to winning. I would hazard to say that darts is 10% skill, 10% strategy, and 80% confidence. I’ve watched players who are deadly accurate when playing against most of the field, but when playing against a pro-level player they’ve never met before (and have only heard about), they don’t feel worthy to stand at the line against them.
