COACHING FOCUS
Encourage Repeatable Pre-Throw Routines
Purpose:
Create a consistent mental and physical setup that reduces variability and nerves.
Teaching Method:
Identify Current Habits – Have the player throw three normal visits while you observe their setup sequence.
Build a 4–5 Step Routine – Example:
1. Place feet into stance.
2. Take a steady breath.
3. Set grip.
4. Raise dart to sight line.
5. Smooth throw.
Verbalise the Steps – Early on, players can literally say the steps in their head until they become automatic.
Repetition Under Different Conditions – Practice the same routine with and without background distractions (noise, talking, music).
ACHIEVEMENT MARKERS :
Beginner:
Executes same sequence for 8/10 visits.
Intermediate:
Maintains same routine in both practice and casual competition.
Advanced:
Maintains same routine under tournament pressure, even when trailing.
Practice Structure:
5 minutes warm-up each session doing nothing but the routine without focusing on score.
Play “Routine or Reset”: if the sequence breaks, restart the throw entirely.
