How about a new label called 55?

How about a new label called 55?

Oh the woes of the aging dart player. It's 2024 not 1999 anymore.  

What 25 years will do to a 30 year old.  

 

Now is the time to develop strategies against slowly eroding abilities.  How am I going to do that? Better health, work on eye/hand coordination, practice in a more structured ways, and diet. I just can't stay out playing darts till 2am and get up at 6am, work all day, then go out for darts again and sustain any kind of consistency. Well you get the idea. 

How does a person get better throwing darts? Some will tell you, "Practice 5 to 8 hours a day".  I think that will only get you so far. What if you made the body and mind better that throws the darts? The game of darts is a very simple one; Just repeat the same action. The target don't move, and they are always at the same distance. How do we learn? How does the brain differentiate between a bad dart and a good dart? How does a muscle work and recuperate? 

There are a lot of good dart players out there. I can't go back in time, and you don't get a handicap for being old. You have to make the best of what you got. I'm going to start documenting my trial and errors.
