INTERVIEW - De Decker on lessons learnt after regaining PDC Tour Card: "I thought that I was already there and did far too little for it. I will not make this mistake again"

De Decker caught up with DartsNews.com in the aftermath and spoke about how claiming his Tour Card this time around differed from before.

“I have experienced Q-School better this year than other years. Not only because I won my Tour Card, but mainly because I felt stronger than before," said De Decker to DartsNews.com.

'The Real Deal' spoke about the difference also between his game now and when he previously had his Tour Card: "I am now throwing much more consistent and stronger than two years ago. This is mainly because at the time I thought that I was already there and did far too little for it. I will not make this mistake again."

Just like many darts players, the young Belgian can also count on the guidance of a management team. “They make sure that I don't have to worry about anything, except playing darts. This way they arrange my flights, hotels, taxis and registrations. I also become a full professional. I still live at home and can go for the full 100%. My parents also support me in this. ”

Finally he spoke about his ambitions for his two years on the tour and one stands out: “My main goal is to be in the top 64 of the world ranking within two years so that I don't have to go back to Q-School. If this succeeds, we'll see afterwards. "
