Hi all just thought I'd give it a shot if anyone can help, I play local darts pub standard but I struggle so much mentally, on my best day I genuinely chuck consistent 18 to 24 dart legs and feel great, when things aren't going well I feel awkward and am terrible. I know it's a mental issue, has anyone got any advice or tips. If I'm playing someone I know is good I've almost lost before is start. I used to play pool at a good level and suffered exactly the same.. if anyone has any tips or advice it would be appreciated :D

No good playing when you're full up fella, need to be in peak condition when you're on the Oche.

Try to put yourself under more pressure when you practice. E.g play others online. You could also try some breath control exercises, I've never done that but I know they helped a few people.

Drugs and more drugs. And when you think 1 more will cause an overdose, finish the bottle.
