Devon Petersen after booking his Last 16 place at the Grand Slam of Darts spoke to the media post match and revealed that he has received help from Phil Taylor alongside the previously mentioned coaching from Wayne Mardle and Colin Lloyd.
Petersen discussed how it has helped him not only with his game but as an influence on his career as a whole as he heads into the latter stages of a TV tournament once more in a landmark year.
"A great thing with Phil is that he's always telling me that I need to rest up, I need to be focused and approach the game like any other game and make sure you focus on the 501, not the whole game." said Petersen to Online Darts.
"We speak about some intricates of the game, I think having that opportunity. I've idolised Phil Taylor over the years and once we contacted each other, it changed my mental space. The likes of Phil, Colin (Lloyd) and Wayne (Mardle), I've watched them on VHS tapes, that's how young I was."
"So having that kind of experience, it shows you that external influence on your career can have a positive effect if you have positive people around you."

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
