In this episode of Dart Brain, Clint Clarkson delves into the psychology of dart practice, emphasizing the importance of structured, deliberate practice over mindless repetition. He discusses the role of pressure in training, the necessity of building mental resilience, and how to effectively transfer skills from practice to performance. The conversation highlights the significance of focus, the impact of gremlins (distractions and self-doubt), and the value of micro wins in achieving consistency. Practical practice plans are provided to help players enhance their skills and prepare for competition, ultimately reinforcing the idea that effective practice is about preparing for the chaos of real matches rather than just logging hours at the board.
