Is the fit right? I have written quite a bit about the time when you change your set-up and the method to do it. From another angle, is it worth adapting when something is not a good fit? So perhaps it could be good time to have a step change and look at your darts. Perhaps now you would benefit fro...

We have five months left before we start our 200 mile charity Coast to Coast in August. What has been interesting in the build-up is our schedule or the lack of it.

I am finding working with the next generation of darts player coming through, that they are receptive to working with a...

It will be interesting to see when players feel confident about being associated with a coach especially in the public arena.

I am sure like me you have watched some of the winter Olympics. What I find fascinating are the support teams that surround these athletes. Obviously from my point of view the coaches are an interesting point. When you listen to the athletes debrief their performances, a lot of emphasis is placed on...

I have added a number of free resources to the website http://www.dkdarts.co.uk, I would be interested to know if they are deemed useful and ideas for others would be appreciated.
