Anderson who is currently at home admitted that his time at home puts everything into perspective in terms of what he has to go through.
"It is not that I am home in an hour after a tournament. I have to fly a day and a half, ”Anderson said in an interview with RTL Nieuws. “And if I have to play in the Netherlands, Germany or England in the evening, it is school time for my son, so I can't even call him to wish him a nice day. At night when I come home, I can speak to him and ask what his day was like. ”
"It makes me miss being a father," Anderson continues. “If the dart circuit had been a world tour, it would have been great. But it is actually a European Tour, and that is a pity for us as Australians.”
A solution could be that his family also comes to live in England, but that turns out to be not so easy.
“My wife has a good job here and my son has to go to school, of course. “When I am angry or disappointed, I can't go home and stop being a darts player. I live my personal life and career at the same time. When I'm having a bad day, I can't just ask my family to help me. ”
Because of Coronavirus, Anderson can now spend a long time in Australia with his family. Still, he wouldn't hesitate to return to England once the darts circuit resumes.
“I had a good conversation with my wife and will come back to Europe if possible. I want to earn enough with darts and spend it here with my family. ”
