Forward Thinking
1. 3-Dart Planning Exercise
Have players state their ideal first dart, backup second dart, and checkout setup third dart before throwing.
2. Board Management Scenarios
Give them awkward scores (e.g., 83, 92, 57) and ask for multiple 3-dart routes.
3. Decision Under Pressure Drill
Run 10-second timers: they must pick a scoring route and justify it before throwing.
4. Post-Throw Analysis
After each turn, ask: “Was that the best setup you could have made? What would you change?”
Coaching Tip:
Make players say their plan out loud before throwing—verbalising thinking improves mental discipline and automatic recall.
