 Setting a framework Fixture So to Speak

What's the plan? How do we get better at doing things? How do we learn? How do we learn to practice good darts, and not practice how to throw bad darts? 

That was one of my first lessons. When you start throwing bad, stop throwing. Why practice throwing bad darts? Good point. 

MORE ...Better ...Stronger ...Faster. 

How does a muscle get stronger? You tear it down, then it repairs and becomes stronger. It's a basic principle. I don't think darts is immune. How did you get better? You practiced, then went to sleep, then woke up and you were a little better. After a week, 7x that increment. but you can't practice too much. too much you tear yourself down, and can't recover. You tear yourself down. 

Strategies against over training. When I first started the old adage was, and I think still is; "Just practice 5 hours a day".  That worked for a while, but as you get older, it's harder to recover. As you get older, you get more responsibilities. Becoming obsessed with practice is a good way to put responsibilities off, and possibly become over trained. Another adage ...

Drink Before You Are Thirsty

Eat Before you Are Hungry

Rest When You Are Tired

Yeah it's not the Manly ..."Play through it, Tough It out". But lets get smart about it. I mean I'm known to be my own worst enemy.

Darts is a lot different from endurance events, or is it?  How many darts and hours do you play at league? How about tournaments. 10am to 2am, then repeat sometimes. That's a long time to stay on point.  Above is an example of how to peak for events. in the beginning it's High Volume/Low Intensity, then it changes to Low Volume/High intensity. 3 weeks of build up, followed by 1 week of recovery. The question is now, how do we adapt this into darts? Along with Physical exercise and eye hand coordination exercises.
